Melissa (Mel&B)'s Planning Thread!

Mel&B · May 9, 2009

I actually just got back from my wedding, but I ran out of time to post this thread before I left. I found BDW after selecting my wedding site (Playa Fiesta in Puerto Vallarta), but I know it would have made my life a million time easier if I would have found BDW earlier in the process. This site gave me so many wonderful ideas about how to make my wedding special. I am so grateful to everyone for sharing their ideas, templates, support, etc. I'd like to return the favor and post my planning thread. Here it goes!

More of the invitation

Pre-wedding mailing. I sent out a brochure, directions to Playa Fiesta, luggage tags, and photoshare website instruction cards. Everything was printed on Vista Print.

Hair Flower and Earrings by Mikiye Creations (Etsy designer)

OOT Bags- Mexican Market Bags, ordered from directfrommexico.com. I love them!

OOT Bag Contents- bottle opener, first aid kit, sunscreen, sudoku for dummies. We also created "rescue me" kits that included advil, immodium, a nail file, sunscreen, pepto, and purrell wipes.

Koozies for OOT Bag. We also attached a tag that said "to have, to hold, to keep your beer cold."

Our OOT Bags also included beach towels and a "Meet the Guests" Book.

Shot glasses and salt shakers. We gave these out as a favor at our Welcome Dinner.

More to come!
