Elissae's RPRM Planning Thread for April 2, 2013 - PIC HEAVY!

[AllieH]

Elissae - I'm officially stalking your thread for photos of your wedding! I saw a peek in the dress thread, and had to hunt down your planning thread. So thrilled for your marriage, and can't wait to hear how it all went!

Thank you Amberya17!  Our OOT bags were a HUGE HIT!  Everyone loved them!  It was so cool to see everyone walking around with their drink tumblers, carrying their anchor bags to the pool & beach., using their koozies for bottle beers, applying my personalized chapsticks...our friends were so stoked!

 

I had a friend who just traveled to Boston for a wedding and she texted me that I needed to give a lesson in Gift Bags!  A great compliment!

Hi AllieH -  Hope you are well!!!  xoxo  You are such a sweetie!

 

I am just starting to get a grip and get caught up on BDW.  Newlywed life is AWESOME!!! Mexico was incredible.  I wish we could do it all over again.  People are still talking about it!!!  I just ordered our wedding TY's and now just have to pick 100 photos out of 840 for our wedding photo book.  Also, I am going to start putting my review together.....busy busy busy!  Although I would not change a thing!

I am so excited to share our Thank You cards we ordered and customized on Etsy.  They are actually 4 x 6 postcards.

 

We ordered them through Serendipity Beyond Design.  Here is their link on etsy :

As well as their website:

Ginger was delightful to work with.

We did not want to write our personal note of thanks on the left side of the postcard (over our picture) & we did not want to move the picture to the right side...we like how this lines up as it is.  So we will write our note of thanks to the right of the picture (where an address would normally go).  We opted to order matching kraft brown envelopes to mail these in rather than sending as a true postcard.  We want people to be able to frame it if they choose. 

 

We love how they came out!!!  Cannot wait to receive them so we can write our thank you's!  I feel so bad.  I know the etiquette for Thank You's is a year, but I want to have them done by July 2nd which will make it 3 months!

 

PS:  I am in the process of starting my wedding review...be sure to stop back & see!

 

Thanks for reading!

I agree, I love the postcard idea-- and that you're sending them in envelopes so they travel safe and can be framed.

I love the post cards, they came out very nice. You both look so happy. I used serendipity for our invites, Ginger does great work.

[elissae]

Thank you so much for the feedback, ladies!  xoxo
