I love your custom tags you did for the place cards. I have been looking everywhere for custom place cards in that shape like that. Do you mind sharing how or where you got those from??

Love your planning ideas!

No problem! I saw some cute drink umbrella's used for place cards on another bride's planning site awhile back (can't remember who??). Anyway, I bought the umbrella's at a local liquor store and forgot about them until the weekend before we left actually! So I just quickly mocked one up to see what size would work and then using Adobe Illustrator (you can use Word) I made a layout/grid with everyone's names & the flower graphic and printed them out on pink cardstock.. then just cut them, punched a hole and tied to the umbrella. Our wedding coordinator decided to put them in the wine glass which was perfect!

Do you remember who you bought the sand ceremony frame from on Etsy?

You did an amazing job on everything!! I like the idea of the post cards instead of a guestbook. My FI and I love to travel so this is a great one for us to use.

 

Where did you buy your maracas and the fan? How much were they?

Were the invites hard to put together? I'm not crafty :{ How much was the total in the end? We're figuring out whether we should tackle this on our own or not.
