Bride Loving CJ

I laughed at that "no photography please" sign also! I mean really, how do they expect us not to want to take pictures?!! We're brides!!! Â

YYYEEAAA!!! I just ordered mine in the #9 blue! And I like that she has free shipping on orders over $8. And thanks for telling me to tell her to leave the center in tact. That would have been a bummer and I would not have thought of it myself.

Oh my goodness, I did not even see that. Thanks so much. I think when I posted, I was the first one on my page so I didn't look on the immediate pages before mine only the firat 3 or 4 pages of the thread. My apologies. Thanks for sharing! Â Â

This picture didn't load right last time so Ireformatted it. Lets hope it works.

Beautiful photo share cards!! Did you make them yourself? I love those!! Â Wonderful thread! Thanks for sharing!

Your reserved seating signs are absolutely beautiful!! Did you share any templates anywhere? I didn't find them on the thread but I could just be over looking them. Â Everything was so beautiful and detailed. I'm sure you had an absolutely amazing wedding!!! Â Congrats again!! Â

I was looking online too but I ended up finding so much nice stuff at Micheals for my OOT bags! Â DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THE CANDLES WERE NEAR. THE STORE IS SO BIG AND I COULDN'T FIND ANY IN MY STORE.

I so feel ya Jenna! I only have about a month anf a half to go and I am still debating myself! This is so nerve racking! Â Thanks for sharing! That was one of my biggest concerns as well. My FI said "ABSOLUTELY NO WEAVE" on our wedding, so I was thinking maybe I'd try to get away with just a little and I'm sure he won't even notice if I go with an updo. But I have no idea. But I will try to stay calm and not stree like you suggested. Your pics are gorgeous! Â Hey Lisa, I love this idea! Can't wai to see how it turns out! Â

Hey lady! I'm getting married at nh-Royal Beach. It's the 'adult' side of nh-Real Arena. I was trying to look on a map to see how close we are to each other but I don't know what PPR stands for. Can you spell it out and I will see if I can find it on the map. :-) Â Â

Wow Wendy, that's a steal!!!! And such a cool idea!! I have 6 guests as well and wish I could find some $5 mp3 players! I'm sure they would love them! Congrats on the great find!! Â

Hey ladies!! I've missed you! I've been away for a couple of days dealing with a minor storm in my life. But things are getting better. I just hate when outside influences cause stress in my home, our private santuary. Been a rough start to the week but I'm sure it will get better, it has to! Â So what's been going on with me? I picked up my dress (it came in a month early) and still needed no alterations (didn't need any when I tried on the sample at the store either) so I was super excited to be able to bring it home. Let's hope FI doesn't take a peek. I also printed off the iron on transfers for my logo that will go on my cloth OOT bags. The printing came out okay but lets see how the iron on process goes. I also bought a few more things for the OOT bags and I cut & handtied 200 ribbons onto my invitations and will start the wax seals tonight or tomorrow. I feel like I am making progress but I do need to try and fo some hair trials since I am doing it myself. It's just hard because he humidity is not the same so I really don't know what I'm going to get until I actually get to the Caribbean. I'm trying not to stress over that but my hair has a mind of it's own and it does some pretty weird things when it is in a different environment. We'll see.

Welcome to thje forum!! I know your friend will be indebted to you for all the valuable insight you will be able to provide by being on the forum!! Â I am also a 10/10/10 bride getting married in Punta Cana! I will be married at the nh-Royal Beach/Real Arena which I believe is right next door to your venue. Â Happy planning!!!

Thanks for the App! I downloaded it just now. Â Thanks for the advice on the wax seals. I went to Micheals yesterday to price them and was going to buy them because the packs have 4 sticks in them and each stick does 10-15 for only 4.99. That's a pretty good price for (retail) wax sticks so I was going to get them but I found these cute little paper cutter things with a sand dollar for $3.99 in the clearance section and had a coupon and knew I would get another when I checked out so I left the wax and got my clearence item (b/c I didnt want it to be gone and couldn't use the coupon anyway) so I'll go back today after work and use my 40% coupon to get the wax, then every coupon I get after that, I'll use on wax. That's only like $2 and some change for each pack. Over all, I think I will need 3 packs. I'm going to do them on the inner envelope only. I'm super psyched! Â Aaawww Aruba! That sounds so nice!! I know your wedding will be awesome!! Â Thanks for the advice on the wax seals. I'm going to go ahead and do them b/c I really, really want them so I'll just do inner envelopes and see what happens. WOW, I totally over looked my script readings and playlist. I really need to work on that. AM NOT LOOKING FORWARD to that task. Â I've never used the lashes so I can't give good advice bu my BFF uses them because she cheers for an NFL team and all the girls are required to have them and she seems to really enjoy them and say they are great. She says having a good tech who can give good application is key. Â Thanks so much chong for the compliment. Your too sweet! Â Pre-travel brochures :-( I'm not looking forward to that either. Seems like such a big project and I'm sure I'll leave something out but I'm getting them printed at vista also so at least I'll save some money. Â I agree! Thanks for the tips Running Bride! In the words of "YrishCathe", "SO hard to be a bride!!!" LOL Â

Thanks so much TRose for posting this!! I just went and ordered some blue ones just now!! I'm so psyched to get these! Â

Were 2 months away ladies!! Â Here's a cute article that I thought I'd share about what the Bellagio is doing for 10.10.10 brides: http://www.luxist.com/2010/08/11/bellagio-offers-10-10-10-wedding-package/ Â Have a great day!

Sorry to hear about your cleaning lady Wendy!! Wish I could come help ya! That sounds like a bummer! Â Congrats on your 2 month countdown!! Â

Great!! Thanks!! That gives me confidence!! I am going to do them, the real ones. I am also buying my wax from MIchaels but the stamp I've had for years. Since my parents are paying for the wedding, the seal will be their last name initial/my current last name initial. I'll do them on the inside envelope and hope for the best! Â

WOW!! These look amazing!! I especially like the colored tops!!

Most people put them in the OOT bags or the welcome bags! They go well with all the other contents with the DIY survival kits. Â

Thanks for sharing!! I am so excited to do mine!! It's my next DIY!!

These are fabulous!! Thanks for posting the labels!! However, I can't see the pics because it's saying its no longer on photobucket. Can you please post pics into the thread!! I'd love to see your handywork!! Congrats on your first DIY!
