Val - your pictures are stunning! You can tell you & Dan had a great time during your photo shoot, and easily see how in love you two are! The welcome bags came out great! What a cute idea!!

[IndyBride]

Val, they came out so lovely! I'm having trouble picking out a favorite.

Wow! Val, those are so cute! Love the new handles.

I love the handles and the "hidden" mickey- they look great!

Love the bags Val!! They are super cute!

Those are adorable! I love them!

Thanks everyone!! It was fun to do them and I felt like I accomplished a lot! So that's always good!

Kinda just jumping in b/c i'm new but thats so cute!! What all did you put in them? or planning on putting in them?

We are planning on putting a few snacks like chip and dales pretzels and water bottles, also peronalized mini-champagne, a first aid kit, bath salts witha tea lite, pens, possibly a note pad if I find one I like. The bags are decent sized so they should fit all that!

Val, your pictures are beautiful! I love love love them! You are absolutely stunning!! And you and Dan look adorable together!! Omg, you must be so so so happy with them!

Thanks you!

Aww I love those bags!!! You all did such a great job! I especially love the one with the polka dot handles. I love polka dots!!

Those were my Mom's favorites too! It's pretty hard to find non-wired ribbon these days!

Now I'm just twiddling my thumbs waiting for the BEO. I'm a little scared to see it all!

Hi Val! I have been getting all caught up on your PJ. Your pictures turned out gorgeous! And you did such a great job on the welcome bags! They look great!

That is the same picture I want to use for my bags also.

Would you mind letting me know a few things about your bags.

What size are they, where did you get them and how much were they?

How did you put the new handles on? What a great idea. I found some bags at Walmart but did not like the handle - I thought they were too short. Maybe I could add my own handles and make them longer.

Would you be able to send me the graphic? I have enlarged mine and it got blurry. I love that you added blue to the background. Our colors are red so maybe I'll try that. Also, what type of transfer paper did you use?

Thanks so much,
Linda

We ordered them a bit ago but I believe they were ordered from cheaptotes.com and I believe they were the 12 inch bags. They are not square so I can't remember exactly. If I remember correctly they were less than $1.50 each.

To put the handles on all we did was cut the old handles off above the stitching for the handles so there is still a little bit of them in there. We used avery iron on sheets for ink jet printers. Just be careful, very careful- I found the stuff from Michaels easier to use than what we found at the office supply store. The ink flaked off easily. Then using fabric-tac glue (that's the brand from Michaels) I glued the ribbons onto the bag covering the spot of leftover old handle. Don't forget to iron the bag before putting the graphic on it. My Mom actually made the graphic (I did not have the patience for it!) so I'll have her respond to you. She might even remember the exact size of the totes!! Good luck!!

Oh- one more thing!! I used non-wired ribbon because it's easier to work with and I thought the wire might come loose and poke someone!!

Hi Val! I have been getting all caught up on your PJ. Your pictures turned out gorgeous! And you did such a great job on the welcome bags! They look great!

Thank you! My PJ is becoming a beast isn't it?? I finsihed someone's the other day- it was 50 pages! I felt like I deserved a medal!

 

[lpizzuro123]

Thanks for the info on your bags. I have gone on their website before I'll hve to check it out. I really like the idea of you adding your own handles.

I tried making a Word document using the door graphic and adding our names and the date and then placing this on top of a red box - instead of a blue box like you have.

It didn't come out bad, but the graphic got alittle blurry and I did not get a full color red near where the door and the color meets.

I would really appreciate it if you could find out from your mom if she could send me the graphic you guys used.

I'll send you a PM with my email address.

Thanks,
Linda

I did want to tell you that on the computer the graphic did look a little mappy but once it got printed and ironed on it did not look mappy at all. I'll call my mom today and ask her to check out my pj so she can respond to you.

 

[lpizzuro123]

When I print it out it is definately blurry. Thanks so much for asking your mom to do this. I am so excited to see how yours looks that I am sure I will love how ours comes out also.

I hope you were able to work with the file my Mom sent over. It took her a while to find it!

Great bags, Val, love the ribbons you picked! The pictures you put in your signature are just wonderful

Thanks! I was kinda amazed at how much deliberation went into the ribbons.

Thank you! Sometime I worry my PJ is too boring for others to read!! My mom and I were just reading about your engagement this afternoon. Great story and congratulations!!

 

[IndyBride]

I just ordered my memory book. I started it yesterday and got a bit obsessed so I finished it yesterday too! I can't wait to see it.

 

[kingLouiethe1]

What's a memory book? Is that a guestbook? Are you doing a photobook?

 

[XmasPixie]

I finally got all caught up on your PJ. Everything looks wonderful. I just love your dress - great job on the welcome bags. And your engagement pics came out great - you have some gorgeous pictures in there as well as some really fun ones!

 

[lpizzuro123]

Thank you mom for looking for the graphic for me. I have not received the email of the picture yet. Let me know if you need me to confirm my home email address. I don't think I had given you my work email address.

I'll send you a PM.

Thanks again,
Linda
