Maybe I'll start taking orders I did a little search on Etsy and something similar is about $30, but you could probably advertise yours to fit into colour themes cuz you can change the colour of the heart or whatever text. Maybe a new side-project for when you come back from your upcoming nuptuals? Your date is coming up!! Excited for you!!

Are you doing a HM ? Cute ideas!!! One thing I worried about when picking the bridal party was the feeling that I was forcing them into coming for the DW. They assured me afterwards that they were coming regardless and I shouldn't have worried. LOL I don't think we'll get a chance to do a HM until our 1 year anniversary. It might becoming a babymoon at that point, we'll see how timing is How about yourselves? Will you extend your vacation time in St.Lucia or island hop?

It came very similar to the design and fit exactly to my measurements which was great. The only tip I would have is to constantly communicate with them and request pictures before shipping. I didn't request picture and my plain lace dress ended up with some silver bursts of sequins on it. I complained back to the Babyonline and they were wonderful about it and said that they would give me a refund for how much it costs to have a tailor remove all the sequins by hand. I haven't done it yet, but I would still reorder from Babyonline again because they were very responsive. I don't have any Weddingdress88 experience I can compare to. Custom Dress.pdf

So I found a few but I decided to just have someone design something for me on Etsy ($10-12) and just upload it to vistaprint since I have a groupon for them. Good luck!! You gotta show us when you're done. We're not a fan of pictures either but wanted to incorporate our dog (he's so much more photogenic than the two of us LOL)

Awww nobody replied to this... I really hope you're happy with whatever decision you've made. All the best to you and your family.

I'm hoping to do Costa Rica for our honeymoon... it won't be until our 1 year anniversary though. At that point, it may become a babymoon.... who knows

Oooo less than 20 posts away...I'm so excited! This site is soo addictive

And each of there significant others of course. I plan on making my own Barefoot Sandals... but I'm not doing them for everyone (at this point anyways) 19 sets is a lot -- good luck! I have lots of DIY projects planned.... I love doing crafts in normal life so I am excited to get to make them for myself (&guest) rather then to sells to strangers HAHAH Invites, my own barefoot sandals, my will you be my MOH / Best Man gifts (we weren't doing a wedding party at all - but now we are only have a best man and maid of honor), all my other gifts for my guest, and umm probably a lot of other things --- oh this is my list of DIY projects on my To Do List I had my first booking a couple of weeks ago.. So exciting.. I hope everyone jumps on board soon I'm not familiar with your location.. is that in Mexico? If I see any luggage tags I think you might like I'll let you know!!! Small is great as well, it just means that everyone gets to bond. That's what we're hoping for since we're from such different families. The barefoot sandals were soo easy, but it can get interesting as an OOT item because you never know what size a person's foot is. What kind of Will you be my MOH/Best Man gifts were you thinking? Hurray for your first booking! Congrats!!!!!! You're so organized, you're going to have such a great DW. Yay! Thank you for keeping an eye out for me, I really appreciate that. Yes, we're getting married in Mexico, the area is a stretch just outside of the Cancun area. We were there for a bridal walk through in April and were sold on the location. It's a very small resort so there's no way people can get lost and they'll run into each other all the time.

I only need 35 max and most places start at 60+ and also getting shipping to Canada is never fun! We found double-wall tumblers at Dollerama. They were clear with a straw for $2 each. Lots of other Canadian brides were suggesting them on another forum. Just need to put waterproof stickers on them and put some colourful paper on the inside to make them look pretty now.

I liked a lot of them.

If you're in Toronto, I came across a great bead outlet for your beading needs. I came here for my DIY Barefoot Sandals for OOT bags. I didn't know it was possible, but I spent over an hour buying beads of all things! lol http://www.johnbeadoutlet.com/ John Bead Outlet 20 Bertrand Avenue, Toronto, ON, Canada, M1L 2P4.

Thank you for sharing! Going to need this!

How many do you have booked already? Darnit, hopefully I find something nice. I'll keep you posted. I finally finished my first set of barefoot sandals. Only 18 more sets to go! LOL 22 is a great number! You'll know approx how many people are coming at all times. I saw the great DIYs you did already and they're so cute! Any more DIYs coming up? We have 36 booked right now and one of my bridesmaids haven't even booked yet since she doesn't know if she's flying from Toronto or New Jersey. I have my fingers crossed that she'll book soon though, I feel bad when prices go up on people even though it can't be helped. hehe Thanks for chatting, I think it's keeping my mind off of the craziness that I'm sure will be coming up.

I really love their site. I bought a lot of my beach dresses and even my bridesmaids dresses from there. Free shipping for you! I see a few clearance bags there that are cute but not $1.50.

Awww booo I missed out as well.

Akkk I can't believe it is OCTOBER already hahaha -- but I not feel behind or stressed.. I think I know everything will come together and I don't have to panic (YET) LOL How many people are going to your wedding??? I have actually never been to St. Lucia either I AM SO EXCITED - sometimes I think I am more excited to go there then for the wedding - hahahah I got them a while ago... I did have to get one more and actually found it on ebay recently ---- Target had them in the section where they have all the stuff for $1 - $3 ... They were $3 there ... and of course I had to pay $5 for the one I got on ebay LOL Those are the cutest tags ever! I'll def have to check out Target near me to see if they have any cute tags in my area. At least you got the last matching tag! Do you already know how many guests you have going? By the time everyone's booked, we'll be at about 40 people. I'm hoping it doesn't go too far beyond that because I'll be afraid to not have enough favours and OOT contents for extra bags.

Ooo when did u get the mustache tags? I've been shopping around but have yet to see those ones.

Lol I'm kinda nervous because I'm so indecisive but things are just starting to come together. How about your plans? I love that you picked St.Lucia! I've always wanted to go.

http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/content/type/61/id/222371/width/350/height/700[/img]3 Yay finally finished my first DIY barefoot sandals! Do they look ok? A bit longer on top to double wrap around my ankle.

Any anxious January 2014 brides out there? Hiiii :eek: our wedding date is coming up quick
