Okay ladies, I love all of the LIW Girls, but I thought it was time that we have a thread dedicated to African American Brides, so that we could discuss wedding and non-wedding related issues that are significant and or relate to women of color. So to start the thread off, could everyone introduce themselves? I am Landra...

Re: Official African American Brides Thread

thanks.. ..

Has any one sent out their invitations yet?

I'm trying to decide between paying for Calligraphy or just printing labels myself...

Printing directly on.

You can always use inkspun.com. They are super cheap.

Re: Official African American Brides Thread

I am actually doing my invitations this week - I am printing them out on clear labels - I wanted to use calligraphy; however IMO it wasn't worth the money -

Re: Official African American Brides Thread

I printed myself also.

Re: Official African American Brides Thread

I'm printing directly on the envelopes myself. My cousin bought some fonts for her wedding a year or so back so I'll use that program. It takes a little extra time but it's cheap and looks good.

well princessjen, i'mma teacher and as we are at the end of the road here i have a lot of free time in school..

i'm in school right now matter of fact.. i got the monogram done, but the actual aisle runner we're not gonna do till over the summer.. i wondered what i'd do with it afterwrds too but someone mentioned putting it in shadow boxes.. i might do that..

i need to look at std cards.. i guess..

I was going through a Martha Stewart bridal magazine and saw a number of invitations with the monogram. I guess I'll have to get cracking on mine.
