Oh don't let this worry you. It always says its going to rain every day over there. We have vacationed there the past two summers and I looked at the forecast before we left both times and it said the same thing...thunderstorms every day! It really wasn't that bad. It did rain almost every day, but for about 10 minutes, then stopped. Good luck!!

Yay! I actually had a co-worker recommend J.Crew and now I see that a lot of girls on the forum recommend it as well so I'll check it out. Well, I see it the same way as you do...they got it out of the way! My bridesmaids are actually the one's who keep asking me when we are going to look for them so I'm actually a little embarrassed that they have to remind me. I should be on top of this! Oh well, with work and planning and all, I'm just so busy. Anyway, good luck with everything and I guess we'll be planning right along side eachother!

Thanks for the advise. I definitely want to incorporate the beach somehow!

Don't know why it came out so blurry the first time so here's another try...

Good luck with everythin Jesmcan! Ladies, I know I don't get on here too often, but I am just doing a lot of reading and trying to keep up/catch up at the same time! So good luck to those with upcoming weddings. Wish you all the best. So here's a little about me and my wedding and how its coming along.... June 3, 2011 is the date (I will add it to the list) As of right now (I keep changing it,lol) We have Pelicanos beach for the ceremony and coctail hour, and Central Gardens for the Reception. I am still debating the location of the coctail...can't decide whether to have it on the beach or the gardens?? Past brides, any suggestions?? We have booked DJ Doremix for our reception and Moments That Matter for photography. I bought my dress way back in Feb so that's checked off the list Still haven't picked bridesmaid dresses..anyone have any suggestions?? I don't want them to spend a fortune on them since they are already shelling out money to go to the wedding. Our Save The Dates were sent out in Sept and our invites are in the works as we speak! (Hoping to send them out this Month) So Here's a pic of our STDs. Just wanted to share. Just want to say thanks to everyone so far for all the inspirations and ideas! I plan to be on here a lot more often since the wedding is only 7 months away now, yikes! Happy Planning everyone!

Thanks for the info

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!

Everyone's already given you all the suggestions I would give you, but I am a true believer that everything happens for a reason and I know you will be just fine! Wishing you well and hope you make-up person was able to confirm the new date with you.

Hi Ladies! I have been trying to catch up on this thread before I started posting stuff, but its nearly impossible! lol! So much great information so far though =) Anyway, wanted to introduce myself before I started popping in with questions and everyone's like "who's this girl?" lol. My FI and I are booked for June 3rd at the RPDC and are still trying to work out a lot of the details, but just wanted to say Hi! and thanks for all of the info so far! The only question I have that I would like to know, but haven't found in this thread yet is.... For those of you that have had/will have your welcome social at the Gran (since I anticipate a lot of our guests will be staying there), do you just show up to the lobby bar? Or do you have to have a reservation? Do they charge? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for all your comments and suggestions girls! Our STD's went out with envelopes, but I wrote the address on them and added a cute ink stamp in the place where the stamp actually goes so they still had the full effect of a legit postcard. Overall I am extremely happy with the way they turned out and how much they cost!

Good Luck!

Thanks Ladies! I need to put some finishing touches on them and I am sending them out today!

Thanks for the advice. I am going to go ahead and send them with an envelope. Don't want to risk it!

  I ended up breaking down and buying envelopes today because a tropical storm hit TX and its been raining all week =( I really just want to get them out there already! I getting anxious! Plus...I found pretty teal envelopes that match =)  Good luck with yours! This is what mine look like. Â

Thanks, that is a good idea.

Hello Ladies, Â I am using post cards as my STDs. I am wondering if those of you who have also used postcards got envelopes for them or just put a stamp on them and mailed them without the envelope. Â My FI and I seem to disagree on this topic.... Â I like the idea of sending them without envelope to keep the theme of a real postcard, but he is worried they will be damaged in the mail. Â Has anyone experienced the same thing? Any advise? Â I am planning on sending them out this week!

 I went with the glossy finish because it was included. There is also a matte finish, but there is a fee for that. I was a little worried, but the glossy finish really isn't that glossy! It was perfect for my taste. Â

We actually had a friend of my fiance design the postcards for us for free! I don't know much about design, so I am afraid I can't help much. I know he used adobe to design them. The only thing we did was give him an idea we liked from sproullie designs and he basically went from there. We picked the background image for the front and he designed the rest. So to answer at least one of your questions, I did upload both the front and the back as images. I got the postcards in the mail about a week ago and they turned out pretty great, just wish they were a little bigger. I am sending them out this week and can't wait to get feedback! Those who have already seen them love them too! Good luck. If there is anything else I can do just ask. Â ~Maritza Â

Love the colors! Do you have a website? Maybe it would be a good idea to set one up so when your date does get confirmed, you will have a way of letting your guests know. Â ~Maritza

I don't know if you can open these. Its my first time attaching anything, but I just ordered mine TODAY from vista print. Their prices really are the best. I ended up paying about $35 for 100 of them. The cards were free, but I got charged $5 for uploading my own image on the front and on the back. I also got charged $10 for having color on the back and about $15 because I chose priority shipping. Not too bad if you ask me! Good luck to your Sis. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â front.pdf back.pdf

Love these!!! Great idea. I was thinking about sending a pic of us at our wedding as a thank you card as well, but this pic is awesome! Â Congrats too BTW!

Congrats! I recently joined the forum too. My Fiance and I are booked for June 3, 2011 so maybe we can help eachother throughout the process! Good luck!

Thank you all very much. I have yet to figure this site out completely, but I'm working on it
