Me too - those and Starburst - and Jolly Ranchers
We are candy soulmates, it would never work out between us, we'd get way too fat.

So, you're saying that you're both TARTS!
Well if you just took your dang meds
this whole thing would blow over!
Ok Wally! That did it..you now owe me a computer monitor and keyboard..mine has coffee spewed all over it!
King Louie is my hero
you on the other hand are a dawg!
I just found that...
Wally just how much are you going to milk that graphic???
YAWN
I compromised and did it 50/50. Printed, but I hand addressed. It was what I wanted to do.
In hindsight we should have taken the money and run, but it was a nice day even with all the stress. Flowers weren't quite right, my zipper broke on my dress, Mike's grandpa had a heart attack on the morning of the rehearsal while we were all having breakfast together, wedding kicked off 20 min late thanks to a late groomsman, my sister left the ring back in the dressing room and another groomsman had to book it while the mother's were being escorted down the isle, etc. It's laughable now, but I didn't see the humor in our comedy of errors at the time.
We've talked about having a small renewal of vows ceremony at WDW on our 10th anniversary. This time, the guest list is in OUR control.
Did you look at cardsandpockets for the first one? I really liked them, very fast on my samples but decided I don't have the energy to make all the invites. Where are your second ones from? I really like the castle invites. I don't know how familiar you are with the brides on the wedding boards but Caryn (Caryndisneydiva) ordered her's through impressions and hated them. Party City has Disney invites as well that look good. You might want to check them out, I haven't actually seen them just pics.
I have 2 cents today...would you like it?
I adore the first set. Something about the tiered pockets sends me. The other two are nice as well...but being the slave driver I am (you said they were a lot of work) I pick Door#1!
I know the first ones are a lot of work, but they look so nice, and different. It's not the same invitation that people have gotten before and you would get to put your time and love into each one. That's special. I had my invites printed up but I learned calligraphy and hand addressed each one, with inner envelopes. It took me over a month to get them all finished, (181 invites), but I had so much positive feedback about how beautiful they were, that it made the hard work worth it.
I'm on the other end of the spectrum here. EASY MEANS GOOD!
As easy as possible.
And we've gotten nothing but comments on how nice they are.
My take on it is, there will be loads of other things to stress over. Why make this one more.
You have NO IDEA how much better this makes me feel. Thanks!
I just wanted to point out what a tame bunch we are without you-know-who
around!
When we have our renewal, we'll be in complete charge of EVERY detail, and we will tailor the event to be a party that WE can enjoy, not a big showy mess that our parents' friends will enjoy. It's kind of sad that after 7 years, the memories of that day that stick in my mind the most are getting sewn into my dress by my mom's best friend, and eating meatballs (first food that day aside from the ONE bite of wedding cake) out of a jar with my bare hands when we finally settled in at the B&B around 10pm that night (wedding was at 2). Just take the good with the crazy and try to enjoy it all.
I am with you on this! The great thing about having a gay wedding is that my mother (who loves my husband btw, she even cooks for him! That says a lot when you're Mexican) while accepting and loving, isn't jumping to invite everyone she knows. This is our party and we're gonna do it our way, and I'm not inviting anyone I don't want there.
