D's at a Giant's game right now, so I have plenty of posting time! Since I didn't have to meet up with D after work, I did a little bit of wedding shopping

I love my Gap boy shorts underwear!! They are my favorites. I too got a blue pair to wear on the wedding day but never even thought of ironing on letters. Genius! I will have to write that down on my list to go to Joann's to pick that up this weekend. Your favor boxes are cute and I think you've done a great job on them.

Thanks! The iron on letters were insanely easy to do. It took less time to cut out the letters, set up the ironing board, warm up the iron, and iron on the letters than it took to upload all these pictures into Photobucket!

Love the underwear and the iron-on letters are a great touch! Wish I had thought of that. My undies were my something blue too. :)

The favor boxes look great just as they are, but if they're not staying closed the clear circle sticker might be a good idea, especially since that won't take very long to stick on. But besides that, they look FABULOUS! Nothing else needed! And I don't think they look plain at all, quite the opposite.

You know, I had a really hard time throwing out boxes too. I think it's because you never know when a good box will come in handy. I tried to save a bunch because I know we're moving "soon" but finally chucked them. It was a rather freeing feeling...:)

Blue undies seem to the the "something blue" of choice among us WC'rs! Thanks for the reassurance on the favor boxes. I keep thinking I need to personalize them more, but I dread the effort to think and execute a plan. But I'm not going to add anything more except clear circle seals.

D likes to hold on to paper products, while I have a love affair with our paper recycling bin. I understand the need for a good box, but I don't think D understands that saving 10 boxes for a potential move YEARS in the future is not the greatest idea. :)

Love your fiesta themed invites! Tres cute and in my pink/green colors! The undies are really cute too and boyshorts are so comfy. I think I am going to do the same for myself come wedding day. I'll have to keep those letters in mind. That sounds like a great idea! Maybe you can do the same to D's boxers! hee hee Teh spacing is perfect! I don't notice a thing. Cool gotta love receiving gifts! Where did u get the material for the belly band on the favor boxes?

I really like the invitations too. The largest strawberry is actually a cut-out that you mount with a piece of foam tape (included), so it's even cuter in person. The cherry blossom paper is leftover from our invitations. I'm trying to incorporate the leftover cherry blossom paper as much as possible because I can't forsee any other projects after the wedding that I would use it for.

That sounds like a good idea. yeah I love foam tape. It makes things look 3d.

Thanks! I'm sure the letters will stretch out anyways once I get my butt into the undies. We're in the home stretch now! How are your plans coming along?
