BTW, those of you that are having AHR's, when are you sending out your invites?

Brandy,

Where did you get these sandals? They are so cute. Are you wearing them for the wedding?

I'm getting married April 16 at ROR.

Nevermind- I found the link. I need to start getting the little things as I only have 3.5 months left!

Hello Gals,

I haven't been on here in quite a while so I guess it's time to start reading this thread now and get to work on a few things. I'm an April 16th RIU Ocho Rios bride. Can't wait to filter through all of these posts. I've got to get my invitations printed and mailed out in January for both the wedding and the AHR on April 30th.

So happy about that cause I wanted to get my brochure, luggage tags, can't wait to see you small magnets and calender magnets out to my guest before the end of January. A few more off that HUGE list of to do's!

I have my grandmother and a gilfriend in Tampa Florida that are coming but with shoes I would rather try them on. If I don't find anything local I will just have to chance it!

Door hangers!! Awesome!! How did you design those?

I used the rack cards, left enough room for the circle to be cut out and put my logo on the bottom and in the middle wrote " No Molestar Por Favor, Please do not disturb" "Unless you have a yummy beverage in hand!" on one side and on the other side our logo at the bottom and in the middle I wrote " Come find us! We are out and about enjoying paradise!" I just used a white background and added color to the front with the letters and the logo, on the back I kept it in grayscale to save some money! I will post pics of everything when I get it in 14 days or so.

lisa, this may be a silly question, but how do you plan to cut the circles out of the rack cards to make them door hangers. I too ordered rack cards (just found out my whole order shipped today--even though I placed two separate orders a couple days apart--soo excited!) with the intention of doing door hangers but have no idea how to make it look good. BTW, wish I read your post before I ordered, I loved what you wrote on the back side, wish I did back side

Our AHR is towards the end of July, just under 3 months after our wedding in Mexico. My plan is to get with my photographer before our trip down to Mexico and let her know exactly what I want to do with our invitations for our AHR, so she can work on it once she gets back from Mexico (she is staying two nights - we are staying 7). This way, I can get the invites out shortly after we return home at the beginning of May.

For our invitations to the AHR, I am copying a friend who got married this past March, in Mexico. What they did was take a picture that their photographer took, and make it as their invitation. On the front side, it was the glossy photo and on the back side it was a lightened version, with the wording for the invitation. I absolutely love the idea!

Welcome back to the thread! I was thinking that you were new because I do not remember seeing your name before. 3 1/2 months - now it's busy time!!
