Hi Latina!
I ordered from www.leedsworld.ca but off a rep in our city (Winnipeg), my fi has a company he uses for personalized business stuff (mugs, calendars, etc). Not sure if you can order right off their website but it you see something you like, phone or email and maybe they can find someone in your city.
Hope this helps!

I don't think it is tacky...send it with a note saying we are so excited to share our wedding adventure with you...or something like that. People will know you have enough stuff to transport. We have about 3 guests who are out of province & country so I will bring theirs with us.
Another reason for sending it early is we want to include some info on the hotel & possible excursions...good stuff that people might want to read before they get there, especially our guests who have never been to Mexico before.
I would ship it with more than a week to spare...you know how the post office can be, especially around the holidays!
Hope this helps & Happy Planning!!

We did starfish wine bottle stoppers. Its not so unique, but a lot of people have had great success and response from them.

Just a thought....good luck

We are also doing a cD and are getting married in Mexico! You seem very ahead of the game considering your wedding is before mine and I am not quite there yet! Ahhh! Anyway do you have some recommended site for mexican songs or mariachi songs?

 

Let me know!

I created the label with our photo, placed it in a blue cd pocket and put that inside a ecru metalic petals that matches everythign else on the table (placecards, table numbers & menus) with our logo and tied iwth a blue ribbon.

what do you mean by "a ecru metalic petals".....Are you using a hard case for your Cd idea?
