Aliya - we’re thinking about doing the same thing for the guys. My dad has one from Williams-Sonoma that he loves. I’m not sure what the price is, but they’re really good quality. Hope that helps!

Samantha- one word of advice on mules- I would be really careful they don’t make flip flop noises as your bridesmaids walk- I’ve run into that problem before. Have you tried Piperlime.com yet? It is run by the GAP compaines but it has lots of brands of shoes and has been a great resource for me.

Ps. I’m in Charlotte too!

I don’t have any suggestion other than this: Samantha from Charlotte should let her bridesmaids wear whatever they want on their feet, and not find a specific shoe for all of them. They aren’t robots, they’re her bridesmaids. For heaven’s sake…

That said, I’ve found most of my dressy shoe choices for my wedding at DSW thus far. Maybe she and her bridesmaids could check there? (The reason I have 3 pairs is because I wasn’t sure of the color that would match at first, so I bought two different cute mules to try with it. One worked better than the other, but now I’ve decided I’d be more comfy in a strappy heel on the day of my wedding instead. Mules are fine if I’m only wearing them for a couple of hours at the most. But for long-term wear, my feet personally prefer a strap around the ankle to help keep ‘em on my feet.)

Just my two cents…

Aliya: We purchased our brand (a big D) in Wall, South Dakota. I am not sure if they have a website (or if you are near Wall Drug–highly doubt it!) but it’s worth a try. They were around $10 each… and very fun!!

its v - At first I was going to make them jewelry but decided that they might not wear it again, so have instead bought each one a wrislet & will also make a small scrapbook for each girl. (i will write about this probably after the wedding)

if you’re interested in wrislets too, check out. http://www.jonasbag.etsy.com

I am buying my fiance an iPod for his wedding gift and need help thinking of a unique engraving for the back.

its v-
I bought each of my bridesmaids a “little miss” shirt that most closely matches their personaility (i.e. little miss giggles, little miss sunshine, little miss trouble, little miss bad, and little miss fun). I also bought them each a cute clutch purse.

Thanks Amy and Amie! I was worried about the flipflop noise too but all the girls were really asking that they not have a strap, so oh well - maybe the Quartet will be really loud (haha). BTW, we’re getting married at Daniel Stowe (www.dsbg.com) on 7/14/07 - only a few weeks away now! What about you?

well K - you are not going to like this (don’t get jealous girls) - my maid of honor is the head of wholesale at Paper Source - I asked her about the die cut birds - she said she didn’t know (and she KNOWS these things), but maybe the best way would be to get some bluebell paper and bust it out DIY style…125, won’t take you TOO long…maybe go to Michaels, get a woodcut bird you like, have your fiance outline them on paper and start cutting? You could have it done in 2 nights with the TV on.
