Congrats Julie! Welcome and Happy planning. This is a great site. As for as an "Early Bird RSVP" suggestion, I saw a Bride on another site had done a raffle prize. She sent raffle tickets that had a date to RSVP by. The drawing was set to take place during the cocktail hour. I think that is a great incentive to get people to RSVP early...who doesn't love winning a prize?!

Very cute!

Essence your postcards were so cute. I love the font on the back.

Such beautiful and romantic invites...

Ahh great ideas...saving this thread.

Congrats! Happy planning.

Aww thanks girls for the kind words...I actually gave my third one today...3 out of 3 have cried. They were so touched. So happy they feel as special as they are to me. Can't wait to give the rest out .

You took the words right from my mouth! lol

nice job.

Wow! This site is amazing...Just when I think that there aren't any more DIY projects to add to my list, you fantastic ladies share more great ideas. Swong this is such a cute and personal idea. I heart it! Thanks so much for sharing. I am going to have to credit so many BDW ladies when my guests start complimenting me on the cool ideas..

What a fantastic idea Eunice. Looks like you had a beautiful wedding...congrats. Love your site.

Nikki...I love this! Your OOT Bags look so good...the sayings are too cute and I love how you packaged the items. I'm adding this to my "steal" list. haha Thx so much for sharing...

Ahh quite true... Nov. 1 You Are an Idealist You are a natural born leader, even if those leadership talents haven't been developed yet. You have the power and self confidence to succeed in life, and your power grows daily. Besides power, you also have a great deal of creativity that enables you to innovate instead of fail. You are a visionary, seeing the big picture instead of all of the trivial little details. Your strength: Your supreme genius Your weakness: Your inappropriate sensitivity Your power color: Gold Your power symbol: Star Your power month: January This was interesting and fun! I took it a step further and researched my fiance's as well: You Are a Winner You tend to find yourself lucky - both in business and in life. And while being wealthy is nice, you enjoy sharing your abundance with others. You put your luck to good use: you are very ambitious and goal oriented. Often times, you get over excited and take on more than you can manage. Your strength: Your ability to make your own luck Your weakness: Thinking you can do it all Your power color: Bronze (looks good with gold hehe) Your power symbol: Half Moon (stars and moon go) Your power month: August Hopefully we can combine our strengths and have an awesome life together...

Great! Thanks Ann!

I'm hoping to send them out in September which will be a year in advance.

This is such a fantastic idea. I can incorporate into my own wedding by using items like these to show my Haitian culture to our guests! Thx.

Hi Ladies, I have often had trouble searching the BDW forums. Even when I click certain search criteria such as ordering the results by ‘relevance’ or ‘recency’. I can tell that I am not alone from viewing previous comments from other BDW posts. So I bring to you a helpful tool: If you use (love) Google search as much as I do, you can use it to pull results specifically from this site alone. How? All you do is type in the Google search box what you are looking for and then you add “site: bestdestinationwedding.com to the end. For example, say I would like to perform a search on all things GOLD that you ladies have posted. I would simply type: gold site:bestdestinationwedding.com Any post that has the word “gold†in it will show up in the results. I usually click IMAGES, to help me find more specific things. Another example of a recent search I did is: message in bottle box site:bestdestinationwedding.com I then clicked IMAGES. I was able to find a post about the “suitcase mailer box†another BDW Bride had done that I previously forgot to save (subscribe). Hope this helps! ~ Edna

Hi Mandi! Congrats and welcome!

Love this wedding...so glamourous and romantic...

Great tip with the duffel bag...I plan on making one more trip to the DW location before the wedding. My WC said I could leave some stuff with her. So I will probably bring stuff down on that trip as well as using the duffel bag idea...

Gorgeous couple.
