I think I got the idea from here. You choose a picture, get it made into a puzzle....at the reception have a sign that tells people to sign the back of the puzzle pieces, go back home, put it together, frame it and hang it somewhere in your home. I figured this was the best idea as I dont think I would go through a physical guest book and read it very often. But a picture? and it's of us and full of secret messages on the back?? Icing on the cake!!!

AHHH Im doing a picture puzzle guestbook. LOL I was just on there ordering the puzzle since they have a sale lol

MoodyC Yessss!! Use whatever resources you can. I would've rather had someone cut for me lol But i'm glad it's over with. and I actually think we got a package from someone already. I got a slip from the Post Office and it was addressed to "Mr. & Mrs. Toussaint"

Now for the printing and cutting. One step at a time. I promise tho...you will be tired of them LOL

AHHHH!!!!!!!!!! I absolutely love it!!!!!!!! Good job!! RSVP.doc Final Draft Passport.ppt

Make sure you demand that they all dye their hair the colors of your wedding while you're at it!!! LOL I think that's why my bridesmaids are so damn lax b/c I'm afraid of being called a bridezilla lol

Let me know if you can open the template. If not send me a pm with your email and I can email it tonight when I get in!

Wow, You sure got an advantage on the wedding planning. But I must admit the time goes by fast. I started planning June 2012 and these last few months seem to go flying. Trying not to have a breakdown but I'm also very excited and wish time would speed up a little more. LOL

Deep, I know what you mean about the bridezilla thing. I instantly got pissed after we got engaged and my FMIL makes a joke to my mom "so is Jali going to be a bridezilla you think?" Like knowing what you want for your wedding does NOT make a bridezilla. Now that being said, if you tell your bridesmaids they need to tan like on an episode of bridezilla, then you're a bridezilla lol. So I appreciate the fact that this thread has gone live so I can stress you girls out and not the family/friends who are just waiting for another opportunity to make the joke about being a bridezilla. I think i'll get that printed on the t-shirt I'll wear to the airport. LOL

Denise very nice!!!!! If i did it again, i would've done photo magnets for everyone, i made a few for family but my stubborn ass had to haveeee boarding pass and passports lol.

So to amswer your question Rayn.... Yes i will have to carry the colored napkins, the extra runners and sashes. My resort offers one color for table cloths/runners and white napkins and chair sashes. More than one color, they charge a ridiculous price So i just ordered : 25 silver/grey napkins 25 lavender napkins 25 silver/grey chair sashes 4 silver/grey table runners Total with shipping $63 from tableclothsfactory.com Ill let you know how the quality is. So i figured i will use the resorts white tablecloths with the lavender runner on one table then the silver/grey runner on another table And the chairs at each table will have white chair covers with either a lavender chair sash or grey chair sash. If the chair has the lavender chair sash, then the napkin placed at that setting with grey and vice versa. Now...i need to find picture frames for the table names

I really didn't mind using the assorted colors for the tumblers. I honestly didn't want to make multiple trips to deals/dollar tree. lol how about doing a mass order and splitting up the colors. needed?

omg! omg lol I didn't even let my fi see. them lol for that reason

. i was like "jalimel" how could she possibly know that??.lol I've been stressing over table linens today. my resort only provides white napkins and they don't. bring much color to the table. so I decided (I think) alternating chair sashes, runners and napkins in gray/silver and lavender

Well I gave people 5 months. I sent the invites out in June and I have an RSVP date of November 15, 2013. A couple of people have actually sent their RSVP card back already! I'm planning for 50.

I would hope not to use it but it's a nice backup if it comes down to it!

I have a question, was just talking to one of my coworkers and apparently there's these things called wedding loans? Anyone ever look into that?

Yep all inclusive is the only way i can travel lol. I cant count how much id spend on food and drins for 7 nights lol

Im going to think about it, we're def getting an upgraded room, i dont care too much for first class esp at the ridiculous rates they charge you. But we're not splurging too much on the wedding, mil is paying for the full dj package with the fire show and my parents are taking care of the photographer so im thinking the basic air/hotel package for the basic room is about $1600 for the 7 nights, we could spend a little more ti get a better room altho all of the rooms are great lol. Supposedly fi's grandfather is payong for our honeymoon to st. Vincent, since the fiance is from there and we'll head over to the grenadines but we'll see. We're also looking at possibly just buying a condo/coop since it comes out about the same as rent here in nyc smh

Seriously though!!! I already warned my fiance. But im sure my dad will enable me lol. Esp since we always go to this resort! Hmmph!!! Lol

I guess if worst comes to worstwe could pay for a room for that day. Once in DR the prices for rooms drop tremendouslyl lol. Theyre going to have to fill up the bottles, i coud see myself turning into bridezilla lol. If not, ill just make friends with a bartender and give him a nice tip

If you girls dont mind, how much are you spending on flight and rooms for you and your fi? I kinda wanna splurge

That butler service!! Lol my resort offers a presidential suite also with a butler we wanted the suite more beacuse its a 3bdrm and the night before the wedding fi can just move into one instead of switching rooms with someone and the private pool is nice but im happy with the room category under tat one with club premium service. I plan on taking my favor bottles to them and ask them to fill upwith the resorts mamajuana and maybe even help me with the giving out of welcome bags

Deepool, Im on my ipad so im unable to email you the templtes until tomorrow since im at my fi house and not my own but i havent forgotten!!!!!
