Here is a closer look at the Welcome book I added to the OOT bags.

     Below are 2 of the pages that I added to the welcome book so that our guests were in the know about our events for the weekend.  If you plan on making an itinerary, making welcome books are so fun and easy.  For you Aruba brides, if you'd like the pages just ask me and I'll email them to you!  I added maps of Aruba (geographical, hotel, & restaurant maps), Aruba info, a thank you note, photoshare site info, guest room phone list, & Papiamento/English translation, so thats 13 pages total.

  I bought plastic photo albums from the Dollar Store and printed the pages on linen paper and cut the page in 4s.  I informed the guests to turn the Welcome Book into a photo book after vacay, so that's a 2 for 1 deal!

Here is some Aruba info I added...Weather, transportation, phone calls, just the island basics!

     How do you plan on informing your guests of your wedding events?
 
     Not I'm I only thinking, planning, & dreaming weddings, I'm also reading weddings!  The hubby got me a Sony E Reader, a prize he won from work (one of his many perks) and I love it!  It's so compact and easy to bring with me everywhere, I can stuff it in my purse and it even fits in my work lab coat pocket!  Anywho, I've been in a reading rut lately, I hadn't found anything I was remotely interested in reading, then I came across a Bride Quartet series by Nora Roberts

I figured that I can start with the first book, Vision in White, and see how it goes from there.  Well I'm a romantic, so this book was all me!  The love story and the wedding planning are all things I could relate too.  After reading the first in the series, I quickly purchased and uploaded the next 2 books into my E Reader, Bed of Roses & Savor the Moment. 
     I don't know if having the E Reader makes me read faster or if it's because I love the books, but I read the first 2 books in 2 weeks! That's a record for me, especially during last minute wedding planning.  I was trying to hold out and not read the last book until we travel, but I couldn't help it!  This series is so good and I can't wait for the 4th, Happy Ever After, to come out in November!
