Thanks everyone.. Beetee my camera is not working right now. But here is the thread where I got the idea http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/thread/54124/my-passport-welcome-books and I am using photo albums very similair to hers. I hope this helps. =)

forgot one... I will add to this post if you guys want as I add pages

I started my welcome book for OOT bags. I'm so exicited! I was inspired by RACH220. I purchased similiar $1 photo books at walmart. I plan to take out the front cover and put passport paradise. Below are jpg of my pages..I am still adding more pages like about the guests and a few others..I created them all in photoshop. The pages are not in order =( sorry enjoy and thanks so much for ALL your ideas.

Do mind me asking what size labels did you use for the jewerly bags? do you mind posting your template? thanks

thank you so HELPFUL!!!!!

yeah it would be cute activity to do on the plane too.

Here is what I created..this will be one page in our welcome book.I still need to edit some but here is the rough copy. So the site did the crossword and then I put into photoshop

     I have a read few threads on brides making their own crosswords and word searches etc. I am teacher and I use this site for my students. But it came in very handy for my welcome booklets. I am made a crossword with questions about us and I making crypotogram with scrambled jamaican words and a secret message. After using the site made the game, I put it into photoshop. Enjoy it is a free site   http://www.discoveryeducation.com/free-puzzlemaker/?CFID=941010&CFTOKEN=44091613Â

is anyone else puting jamaican lang translation in OOT bags for this guests? Or have done this if so please share below is what i have so far The dominant language in Jamaica is English. But almost all the Jamaicans are bi-lingual. Jamaican slang is an amalgamation of English and African languages. The Jamaican slang which is the native language is called "patois" and is spoken all over Jamaica by almost all the Jamaicans. Patois also includes the influences of the language of the original Arawak people. The Jamaican slang is a delightful language pleasing to the ear. But it is very confusing. Jamaican slang-patois comes from the word "Patwa". It also has other names like Afro-Jamaican, Jamaican or Creole. "Ungrammatical English" is the most recent name that Jamaican slang has gained. Jamaica from the ancient times has been the melting pot of different cultures from all over the world. People from different countries have landed on the Jamaican soil and have settled down and have become Jamaicans over the ages. Thus Jamaica has a rich cultural heritage that is reflected in the native Jamaican language-Patois. Also colonization has left its mark on the native language of Jamaica and Jamaican slang contains English ingredients. Jamaican Slang is often referred to as "Bad" or "Broken English" and is the local language of Jamaica. The Jamaican slang is known as "English-lexicon" and came into being when the African slaves began using a base form of English as means of communication. It has become what came to be known as Jamaican slang which is considered an inferior form of English. Though the Language retains the characteristics of the languages that have made it up, it also has its own features. The old-fashioned expressions and turn of phrase is called "Bungo talk". The local patois is a very flexible language and is widely used by the Jamaicans. Though English forms the official language of Jamaica the Jamaican slang still retains its African flavor.
