@@vanessav53.  I can't wait to put mine together.  Right after the RSVP date I am gong to start to order stuff for them.  Where did you get the cards?  I looked into customizing the cards but it was like $4.50 a deck - i thought that was a bit much.

@@GingerJ228 I got from oriental trading. They were $7/dozen ( so cheap) link is attached. They also have cards you can get personalized on oriental trading and prices weren't awful. I just felt like I"ll spend effort to personalize other things and the cards are just somethign fun so since these were cute and price was good I just got them.

I also made postcards from vistaprint so people can send us their favorite memories from the wedding ( we will use in scrapbook after we get home) I used amazon for all the medicine type stuff because it was the cheapest if you type in tylenol bulk, or pepto bulk you can buy a box of 96 or however many and it works out. Minimus biz.com is also a good site but I did find amazon to be just a bit cheaper.

Thanks.  I'm going to take a look at Oriental Trading.

@GingerJ228  What section of target did you find the spanish for dummies books? Is it in the fronts ection or somewhere else in teh store? I watn to look for them....

@@vanessav53.  I believe they were in the front where the sale stuff is.  Are you going to add them into your OOT bags.  I think thats super cute

@@vanessav53 What are you doing for favors? 

[vanessav53]

@@GingerJ228 yes I am going to either add the spanish for dummies book or if I can't find them at target I will just create a pamphlet or something and make it like a mini book on my own.

 

We aren't doing favors. I just really wanted to make the OOT bags nice and we are spending alot of money on the extras for the welcome reception and wedding( photoboth, cigar roller, calypso band at the beach bbq,etc.) I think the guests would enjoy that much more.

@@GingerJ228 so exciting! 94 days!!! I got my invitations last week. I had a small envelope snafu so had to order something to put them in. They will be arriving this week and then I'll go to post office on Friday to weigh them and buy postage,etc.

 

I still feel like I have so much to do. My aunt went to target this afternoon but couldn't find the spanish for dummies books I'm going to keep looking. So many of hte girls on this site found them there so I'm going to be persisitent and hope it turns up one day!

[GingerJ228]

I am just starting to feel like I have a lot of stuff to do for the wedding.  If I one across the books I'll let you know which store I find them in since you are pretty close to me.

@GingerJ228- thanks so much!
 
My FI and I are going this weekend to get his suit and our wedding bands. That is a big thing I want to scratch off the list. Obviously sending out the invites are a big deal and laying out hte flow for our ceremony. I know I have time for my vows but I don't even know where to begin writing them! I know it will all come together and I'm so so excited but literally have been zoned out of work and need to really keep my job since I need to pay for the wedding! HA HA
