don't feel guilty at all! your circumstances were entirely different with having to cancel what you had planned so much for!

besides, you've at least done your review ...

bookmarks were printed on card stock (designed using stock art) and then laminated (using work's equipment) cut out, hole-punched, ribbon-tied ... voila! not sure why i didn't make them more personalized ... a bookmark is the kind of thing people wouldn't actually mind if it had your monogram or wedding date, kwim? silly of me! and fyi, the bookmarks were one of the things i actually saw my guests using.

remembered another OOT bag item ... deck of playing cards (box personalized with label ... sorry for the terrible pic ... they say "love was in the cards" on them):

Thanks for posting your thread!!! I actually bought the chocolate brown floral invitations from Wedding Paper Divas. I wished that I was able to use the flower in the rest of my reception stationary but it's too pricey!!! Good Job on the DIY project!!!

Just thought of something....the bookmarks could be a great idea for Thank You "cards". Hmmmm...too bad mine are sent out already!! lol
Oh well, maybe someone else could use that idea!!
Would it be weird if we did them up as Christmas presents?? (ie, picture of us from the wedding, and then a love quote or something??)

sorry Coug!!
