They def aren't necessary....I had most of mine left over and I saw many just laying around places during the reception.

We're going to Tokyo, but waiting until the Fall, since we're invited to 6 (yes 6!) other weddings this year! I applaud you for thinking about Australia. The travel time is just too long for me. Toyko is about... >>>
We're doing Hawaii! We also looked into Belize...definitely recommend checking out Belize!
I got my Jim Hjelm dresses for $187 at bridal reflections. However, I got a discount for getting my dress there and for ordering during a trunk show.
Congrats and welcome! If you need recommendations on vendors just let us know!
Congrats on the check!
We went to Costa Rica this summer. We stayed at the Riu Palace. It was an amazing vacation. We saw & did so much! It's definitely somewhere I'd recommend
Favors, bridesmaid's gifts, welcome bags, escort cards, table numbers, bride's jewelry, programs, rehearsal dinner...?

Posted by rcotter90SO LUCKY!!! Congrats on the check, I am green with envy ;) All thanks to you! :)
My venue gives them to us blank then we have to write in the names. I don't particularly care for them (they're like off-white with green writing) so I think the easiest thing for us will be to just buy the... >>>

Congratulations and happy planning.
Minted.com printed the addresses for us.
My venue does them but... since we are having a cocktail reception, we are not doing assigned seating. You can order them with invitations if you want but it's really a preference if you want them handwritten... >>>
We used Minted and will also be using them for our invitations!
We went to Costa Rica in 2013 - it was an amazing trip. Did not top Alaska but for the adventurous side of us, it was perfect! So much to do and see. We are thinking of doing a 3-week honeymoon to Australia,... >>>
Thanks everyone :) It's a relief to know they are not required! I LOVE making my to pay for list SHORTER!

Good Morning Brides-To-Be!Have you guys booked your honeymoon? I am a January Bride, so the places I can visit are limited (as a lot of places are in winter, as we are!)But I am debating between Australia and... >>>
I used Vistaprint, used a Groupon and the quality was great!
We used simply to impress and loved the way they came out. At the time they had 40% off and free shipping.. Not sure what they have going on right now.
Magnet street has 40% off + an extra $10 off, that's the best deal I've ever seen from them until 2/2
I used magnetstreet.com I don't know if they currently have a sale but they frequently do. I got my magnets for 30% off on there.
so pretty!!
Ladies PLEASE pay attention to these boxes/cages--i've seen on the news people (guests/random ppl) picking up the whole box in the middle of the reception and walking out with it! SCARY!im not a huge fan,... >>>
I used wedding paper divas and they came out great! :) The editors are great with communicating with you to make sure you're getting exactly what you want.

Definitely not necessary, we wont be having them either.

I'm at the exact same point! I hit 4 months and I just woke up from night THREE of wedding nightmares. They're so silly and insignificant but I wake up completely anxious. Guess I gotta get more things done to... >>>
I'm going to a wedding tomorrow and the bride said that I can borrow certain things from her wedding when the wedding is over. I may snag her card box (I believe it's a wood chest).
Great suggestions!!! Thank you girls so much!!
They definitely aren't necessary. We are in the same boat (only a MOH and BMan, FH's parents and my Dad). I don't feel it necessary to spend extra money on something like that, especially with a small wedding... >>>
I used Kim Castro from Bedford and Mane in Bellmore! She is amazing, and super reasonably priced for hair. And she has amazing makeup prices! I used Sandra Baldini for makeup and she was amazing!!! (I was... >>>

We're going to have them but they're not necessary
It was a want for us and we did a playful one (especially since husband's nephew was our ring bearer)
I met someone via this site who did my envelopes (digital Caligraphy) was so affordable and so easy to work with.
Posted by kjohnston9/4/2016-Watermill-kjohnston-KaraThanks!Another date twin :)
They're a want. No one will notice if you don't have them. Use that money towards something else :)
I don't think they're a must-have. Nobody will notice they're not there.
Posted by LibrarianJoyce724I used my printer to print directly on them. Didn't have a problem at all and they came out really nice! What type of printer did you use? Was it a laser one? Trying to figure out... >>>
Try Ciro's in Hauppauge.. right off the LIE.. not sure on pricing, but I went to a bridal shower there and the food was delish and they have a private room.

Jillian Kristine for hair and Liz Froio for makeup.
They're very pretty!

Mine too! We have the same date!
Oh yea. I can't wait for my samples to come in.
I used clear labels.
Beautiful! It looks like it fits great!
Gorgeous!
Very pretty
Can anyone share their quotes for hair and makeup? I'm just beginning to look and don't even know where to start or normal price ranges. Thanks in advance
Beautiful! Love the hydrangeas!
I've seen them at Michaels and Joann's. Even Target. I'd try looking online since it's off season, and hopefully you can find a good deal for them now.
Would any of you lovely ladies be able to share quotes from dusti? Thanks in advance :)

How are you guys addressing your STD's? Are you guys hand-writing your envelopes or are you using clear labels for each guest?
i printed right onto labels and put them on the envelopes- they get thrown out anyway
I registered at Macy's- It was the best decision I made. The one in manhasset is very organized, and I got a HUGE gift card at the end, because you get 5% of every purchase put onto a gift card. I also just... >>>

Thank you!! Would you mind emailing me quotes??
I loved Dusti. Went for my hair trial last weekend - booked her on the spot. Check out Angela's hair design too - girls rave about her!
The FH and I registered at Bed Bath & Beyond and Amazon.com for things we could get at the other.
I've seen them in AC moore, joann fabrics, michaels etc around Halloween. Or you can buy a carvable pumpkin and spray paint? My concern is whether or not those fake pumpkins will hold water and not seep... >>>
So exciting!
We are not doing programs!
oh that is a great suggestion! I'll see if my FH wants to do that. Thanks!

Went to see my high centerpiece mockup today. I love it so much! Ronnie with Bella Flowers in Huntington did such an amazing job! I can't keep looking at them!
I used Jessica Leigh Paperie. I dropped off my envelopes and she did they. But IMO it was pricey for just envelopes!
I didn't do wedding yet, but for our save the dates I used LCIpaper.com. They were fantastic! Envelopes were printed on perfectly, they called me with questions and suggestions. I recommended, I may use them... >>>
