Moon Palace 2012 Brides

Thats a good point! for some reason bath and body works didn't come to mind when i was trying to figure out a scent! I went to hallmark and tried all their yankee stuff but I felt like all their beach stuff smelled like bathroom. Ill def have to look on BBW though thanks!

I actually have been doing some "pinning" and have 1000% decided on MIB! I know exactly what i am looking for now..like I said I am not very visual haha so i had to hunt some ideas down and I am so glad I did because they are going to turn out beautiful! I know you posted the actual invitation a while back (which is what inspired me to go with MIB ) What thread is it in? and did you end up posting the end result too? I've missed a lot!

 

Thanks merrylee!

Well remember a couple of post back (wow there's been so many lol:-) where I was a little sad because (although necessary to order) I had just ordered our memorial picture charms for my bouquet?  Well it's here.  Humbled and blessed to be able to still be present on this earth, my heart is heavy but I am so glad that I choose the vendor as she was so sweet to work with and we have a beautiful necklace which will also be a bouquet charm (it's removable) for our wedding day.

 

Here is it:

Its pretty awesome you can make inspiration boards for different things like wedding  home or food..endless possibilities! I only have one board made and ofcourse its a wedding board but this is where I got my ideas for my MIB that I am going to start on now...woooo! and yeah facebook has been in the backburner for a few weeks now haha. I think it's an invite only thing but if you give me your email address I can send you an invite I think you will enjoy it

We did a boarding pass STD, but didn't want to spend a lot since we knew we wanted nicer Psssport invitations.

 

This is how they came:

 

 

 

I had ordered business cards from Vistaprint with our wedding website information on it so I needed to figure out a way to attach them to the boarding pass because we realized they would get lost in the envelope so I used a palm tree hole punch and some raffi to do that!

 

 

 

And the final STD:

 

That is too exciting!! I love wedding festivities

You got it Chelsea ;-)  Thanks a bunch

The door hangers for US was a must!   I look at it as yet another photo op ;-) while we are getting ready!  The DND signs for our guest was just extra as I have some paper to get rid of lol.  As you figure all hotels come with DND signs and since I already have the tools (paper, & work printer) it's not costing me a thing. 

 

As far as cutting the whole, I will use my Xacto knife to slit it on one side (to be ready for any door) and then I have a 2' round hole punch.  If you are really great with the Xacto you can simply cut around the inside circle but make sure you have a work/cutting pad to do this.  Hope this helps. 

Thanks beatyea and trust me I'm not creative at all..  Most of my inspiration and templates came from this site.  I'm not the person that can initially create something but once I see it, I can carry it out.  Let me know if you need any templates or help with something.

I love it so pretty!! I am having the same dilema..I have to have my hair down but all the wind horror stories Ive heard are freaking me out!

I ordered it and I am so excited to check off dress, lol.

You guys are inspiring mr on the DIY's but I hate not knowing how many I need and making or getting too many/too little so I am making a list and will wait a little bit.

 

For the girls having trouble getting a coordinator I sent a detailed letter with about 10 questions with different parts mostly about the locations and they quickly passed me off lol. Make it specific like what chapel is close to such and such terrace or how much would it be if I skipped cocktail hour and did reception instead or ask what bars are close to which terraces ..they don't know that in Miami.

 

I found my hair inspiration today with a diamon headband that matches my maggie belt. I just love it and since everyone complains about the wind I don't want to do a veil and I really wanted it down but i don't want it bad for pics so this is my compromise :

 

I love all the support and love on this website and especially with the moon palace girls..it's beautiful
