Lisa  - Very nice job with your Vista Print booty!  I should really get working on my newsletter I guess!!!

 

I have been very busy with wedding stuff over the past few days.  Tuesday night we booked our flights to Mexico.  Wednesday I booked the flight for our photographer.  Friday I scheduled my first dress fitting appointment, along with the appointment for the three girls in the wedding.  I also booked the hair & make-up appointments at the spa for our "getting ready" the day of the wedding.  I also picked up the paperwork we need to fill out to get our marriage certificate for the legal part of the wedding (we are actually getting married here first, then doing a "renewal of the vows" in Mexico so we don't have to worry about the legal pieces in Mexico).  Today I purchased a bunch of goodies for the OOT bags.  The majority of the pieces I have left for the OOT bags is the stuff I have to make...

Here are a couple of pictures for things in the OOT bags.  The first is the first aid kit, which includes just the pieces that came in it (bandaids, etc).  The second is the label that I'll be putting on the bag with the rest of the items.  Basically the "Oh Sh!t Kits."

Tris - LOVE the shoes!! Great find!

Which is better shutterfly or snapfish???

[Ellabaja1983]

I had originally set up a shutterfly account, but then when I went to snapfish, it seemed like that would be easier to navigate for all people who may want to upload pictures (including those who aren't too strong with a computer).  For my photoshare cards, I used my snapfish account.  Most of my people would have been able to use either, but I thought I'd use the site that made it the easiest.

Tris - those shoes are fabulous and you can't beat that price! I love your BM dresses too - very pretty!

Yes, my cousin just told me to use snapfish also..so i'm including that on my photoshare card.  Thanks!

I was looking for more of a turquoise colour but my bridesmaids dresses are more teal than turquoise so it's not a big deal, just different shades of the same colour. Best part. $20. Bonus, BOGO. So I got a pair of sexy black heels for $10.

 

... the one problem. Are I feared, they're a little too tall. I'm about an inch taller than FI. He really doesn't care but we're going to see if we can get some height added to his shoes (since they're completely flat, nothing on them) or maybe some insoles. If all else fails, I'll slouch a little when we're standing at the alter. Haha.

 

 

And while I'm posting pics, these are my bridesmaids dresses (they look much better on and this one needs to be taken in... it's too big)

Tris, so glad you lucked out and found such amazing shoes. They are gorgeous, and so are your BM dresses!

 

We went to a bridal show yesterday, it wasn't much help with all the little things we still need, but I did manage to find a rhinestone comb for my hair. So that's one thing off the list. Also finished off mother's corsages and started work on my veil.

Tris- I LOVE those shoes!! Great find!

 

Ellabaja- Great job on knocking things off your list! How did you make your stickers and smileys?? I have seen similar on the forum, but is there a special program or person that makes them for you? I would love to do the same thing.

 

BTW-- finally Junior Member status! Yippie!

Today my focus has been on luggage tags...  for those of you doing luggage tags, where did you get yours?  I'm finding the clear plastic luggage tags on both Amazon.com and ebay.com...but most of them are over 100 tags, and I certainly don't need that many.  I did find one seller on ebay that had 25 of them for $16, but I wanted to see if I could find them somewhere else, cheaper.  I can get 100 of them on amazon for $10...I just don't want that many.
