So beautiful and one of a kind!

Great job! Very organized, detailed, and pretty

I love the mad lib idea! Would be so fun to read on the plane ride home

So pretty! I was worried about having a 5pm wedding on March 1st and it being too dark for pictures...but if they turn out anything like this then I definitely wont be disappointed!

Let me clarify: the 5-6 hours did not including making the actual invitation from the template, this was just cutting, perforating, folding, stamping, stuffing, tying, etc. . Making the invitation on my computer didn't take too long, especially if you are good with Word and are able to make it the way you want (which wasn't the case for me!). P.S. Does anyone know why my picture on here will be up for awhile then all of a sudden show up in error?!

Thank you so much! It took me about 5-6 hours to make 100 invites, but got it done in one night! I had four people helping (my mom and BMs) and think I would have gotten really tired of doing it myself haha. I am obsessed with Pinterest too! I can't imagine planning a wedding without it or this website! It is so nice to be able to share ideas with each other . You are so not behind! My wedding is March 1st and I am mostly ahead of the game because I have had a lapse in employment and start again October 1st, which left me with a lot of down time. I figured I might as well get as much done as I could before life picks up again (and all the holidays right before the wedding!).

Great idea! Thanks for sharing:)

So sorry that your friend did that to you. How frustrating! I think I will be okay with my bridesmaids because I am only having 3, my sisters and best friend, but I could see one of the groomsmen backing out because he is kind of a flake and hasn't committed. I know it is a lot to ask people to spend the money to come to your wedding, but it is a vacation for them and if they know they can't afford it then just say that to begin with! I am completely okay with people saying "I will really try to make it" because then I honestly count them out and if they end up coming then great! I just hate when people so 100% yes then bail. Good luck with everything!

That is awesome! And perfect for your location!!

SO pretty!

Oh and I was lucky to have a family friend that is a travel agent so not sure I can help on a good way to find one :/

For me our travel agent was crucial in making the beginning stages less overwhelming. There is SO many resorts to choose from and it was great to have someone to help and narrow it down! Our travel agent also got better response from our wedding coordinator in the beginning, but it is no longer an issue. Lastly, I think it really takes the pressure off of you and your fiance and not using your valuable time to have the agent coordinate bookings and travel questions. Whenever someone asks me something I can say "I don't know for sure, it will be best if you contact our travel agent".

Great thread! Thanks for all the ideas! I usually don't splurge on makeup but since I am doing my own makeup for the wedding I wanted to get some good stuff:). Thinking about going into Nordstrom..probably MAC and have them do a trial to show me how to correctly apply and what is best for me for the big day!

Thanks for sharing!

Thank you! Thank you! He does have good taste but I will admit I did give him subtle hints throughout the last couple years;). He did a great job o combining different elements from what I showed him so it was still a big surprise!

This is what I was referring to when I said timeline..if that is what you are talking about . Thought it was very cute for the guests!

I love Forever by Ben Harper! We are playing it while BM walk down aisle but could be used for many different things. Some classics: Crazy Love by Van Morrison and Here Comes The Sun by the Beatles Shook Me All Night Long by ACDC and Party Anthem by LMFAO will get people dancing! Recently I really like I Wont Give Up by Jason Mraz

I agree that I no one should get bored because they are your family and friends and there to support you! But, if you want to look at some games to play here is a website that has a bunch! http://www.planace.com/disc-jockeys/weddings/resources/wedding-reception-games-and-fun. Also there is the shoe game, here is a website that explains it http://www.bridalguide.com/blogs/bridal-buzz/the-shoe-game.

Such a cute idea! Very creative.

Here is my ring! Love it even more because he picked it out:)

Oops I actually got the luggage tags from Michaels!

Just made these luggage tags for my BM, MOB, and MOG. Had the letters from previous projects and got the tags from Hobby Lobby. Don't love the name part but was making it work with what I had!
