Any past brides who rented out the other restaurants besides Aunt Ruby's for your reception, how was your experience overall? I know we have to have a back up place just in case we have less than the 40 required at AR's so I'm just wondering how the others are. How did you decorate etc. Thanks!

Congrats Jules and myself as other future Suites brides can not wait to hear all about you wedding and experience at the Suites!!

Definitely a great sample! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks ladies! Jszy10, could you email me the Oh Sh*t one? My email address is [email protected]

Mochamek83, I couldn't open the templates you posted bc I don't have publisher. Can you repost in word or ppt?

Skpt 1 thanks for posting for options. Gives me choices to work with lol.

Hi ladies:

Does anyone have a template for the white cardstock that I've seen a few of you ladies place over the ziplock bags for the wedding survival kit? If so can you please post it? Thanks!

Great job! Love the starfish meaning. Our theme is also starfish so that was definitely something neat to know!

Nice job on eveything Rosie! Where did you order your pashminas from?

photoshare cards - printed them on cardstock purchased from staples. then spent an evening cutting them with my friskars trimmer - ugh, i tried to cut them with the big ccutter at work and they turned out all crooked since the cutter's guides have all rubbed off.

 

 

luggage tags - i didn't want to fuss with personalizing everyone's info and figure they wouldn't use it again, so i did up some business cards on vistaprint and put "Can You Read This? Then you're too close to my bag" on the front, with the resort's address. Then put a label on the back with the person's name on it. i used the laminator at work with heat seal luggage tags i bought from staples.

 

 

engagement photos album for parents - both our parents are not good with computers and hate clicking on a screen. so after reading http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/wiki/how-to-make-a-wedding-photo-book i started to follow photobook girl's blog. i've always been into scrapbooking so a photobook is like scrapbooking of the digital-kind. on her blog she posted an area for "free" photobooks http://www.photobookgirl.com/blog/free-photo-books-online-gotta-love-it/. i went with MyPublisher's offer $20 gift card to new customers and purchased 2 softcover 5x7 books and just paid for shipping. Super easy program to use and shipping was really fast too. I think they came out great. I am thinking I might do my own BD shoot album on my own.

 

 

 

Pashmina Tags - I haven't received them, but have prepared the template already. I hate waiting for online items to arrive, lol. Not very patient. I did the tags in Illustrator, and attached the PDF, but also attached a powerpoint version in case anyone needs a starting point to work from.

Were you able to inquire with Nicole re Flower Studio?

Can you provide a template for the survival kit, the white card stock?

Thanks!!

I can definitely use these to make my fans! Thanks!!

How much tulle should I buy for the chuppah?

I would also love to see some examples!!!

 

I'm thinking of sticking with white tulle and just add colored tulle to the posts of the chuppah...
 

 

We've decided to save ourselves some money and get some nice gift bags from the Christmas Treet Shop! Good luck with the sales!

My kind of practical bags. I think we too are going to use brown papers bags and just put cardstock on the front. Every penny saved counts!

Very nice!

Very nice!

Thanks for sharing!

Congrats!! Can you post the template for your pens, if you still have it? I like the idea. 

Thanks!!

I like these! Thanks for sharing.

Same thing that I was wondering Daisy. Can anyone give us feedback?

Very nice Autumn!

I'd be interested in the blue & green too...depending on how many you have. Is the material "iron on transfer" acceptable?
