I think it's all great...I love that your FH helped with the mat. I actually purchased ours today at Michael's (first time there...love that place!) and loved the fact that my fi was involved. The butterflies on the bathroom baskets are adorable...great job!

Very nice. Did you make the butterflies? They are cute.

ETA: Where did you buy the cameras from?

You both did an amazing job!! What a great way for your FH to help out and stay involved to. I'll have to rope mine into some of our projects!

Re: Hi ladies... I wanted to share some of the items...

Thanks so much!! I feel so good now

The cry packs are very easy to make and I followed the instructions from Marth Stewart's site. I'm not a big fan of her, but she and her staff do have some great ideas. I printed the names and date out, then folded them up and FSIL folded and inserted the tissue.... took about 2 1/2 hours total to make 50

The butterflies were bought from an ebay seller, but I believe they originally come from Oriental Trading.

FH cut the mat for the casual pic and the photo cube. He also cut the piece of wood to fit into the top and bottom of the photo cube as it originally started life as a plant holder. I stained it and put the material and padding on the top (following examples from other LIW brides). (I was warned by so many people that envelopes get stolen, so it's sealed up real good and you need a screw driver top open it, so I doubt we'll have any problems.)

Oh yea, the cameras were purchased from frrweddingcameras.com for about $2.99 each. Crossing my fingers that they work well
