Pookie's Planning Thread *Pic Heavy*

[MoonPalacePookie]

Hello all,

First of all, I would like to thank you guys for your support and ideas, I'm so happy I found this website. I'm leaving on Friday, July 18 and my wedding is July 23, so here it goes:

 

We got engaged July 28, 2007 at the Aventura Spa Palace. Here is a picture of my e-ring and band (ignore whatever it is I'm doing with my fingers):

 

 

Here's my FI's ring, its black tungsten with silver stripes:

 

My dress and shoes:

 

 

FI's suit and shoes (that's a model in the pic, not FI):

Invitations (sad I know, it was before I found this place, I sent my invitations back in January, I couldn't wait):

 

Baby pinatas and Mexican candy as favors for kids (we have shot glasses etched with our names as favors for adults, I dont have a picture and they're all packed now):

 

For the sand ceremony:

I hot glued a shell to the top of the jar and put shells inside, we will use the sand from the beach to take Mexico home with us.

 

guest book and photo pages:

 

 

photo and sign for guest table:

My garters:

 

Custom napkins instead of placecards:

 

table number holders from IKEA:

 

table number pictures (us doing things we normally do):

 

first attempt at our table setting, it looks a bit better now, but no new pics:

 

centerpiece:

 

We're renting umbrellas for our tables as it will be hot at 6pm, renting sound system stuff to use with our laptop, our friend will DJ. I made little "tears of joy" packets using templates I found on here. I think that's about it. Thank you guys.

We got them from Group Caricatures. It was fun, we sent in the pictures of the boys and told them what we wanted each guy doing, they did an awesome job and it only took like 2 weeks.
