I don't see it so much as 'stealing' ifdeas because frankly ALL ideas are 'stolen' in some way because weddings ahve been going on for years and there's only so much that you can do yhats original. We all (magazines, wedding guides and weddign planners includd) use ideas of others and them adapt them somehow. Someone may not use crystals. Maybe they will sue colored rhinestones, small pebbles or fabric trim, whatever. It immediately makes it your own.

Everyone is here, myself included becase the people on this board have great idea sthat aren't just for Long Island but can be used anywhere, so if you're going to post something, please be helpful not negative. Thanks

BTW, can I ask what the letters cost about per each? Thanks for posting they came from AC moore. I have seen the WE DO and was trying to figure out where to buy the letters.

Well said!
I got my letters at Michaels for a few bucks a piece ($2-$4) or so, the paint was like $2 a bottle or so. Really cheap to do. Now I just have to get off my B U T T and do them

so the letters were 2.49 each and the crystals were 2.24 per pack.. I used 7mm ones for the corners and the outside of the 'o' and 5mm for the rest of the letter. each pack bring 100 crystals i don't remember how many i used but i know i bought too many

They look great!!!!

wow those came out great

They look store-bought! But, I'm not sure I understand what you'll use them for?

I'm using them either to decorate the cake table or the card box table.
