Weddingbee boards

Hiya everyone!!

Is anyone down to do a Christmas Card/Holiday exchange?  I would LOVE to start an exchange!! If anyone is interested they can pm me their names and addresses and we can pass it on from there, or I could designate one person.. .Or we could do a gift exchange (limiting the price to like 5-10 per person? We can also make it something small that fits in the new USPS flat rate box that ships for like 4.95 and up .. so let's say 5.00 for a gift (if we choose that option, and then we can do the 4.95 shipping option)....  We can do it Secret Santa style.

OMG am I the only one thinking this far in advance?!

shameless bump!! it looks like myself and only one person will be exchanging!

I would love to do it!  Sort of sad that I'm more involved in weddingbee now that I'm married lol!

cool!! i think a card exchange is fine and we can go down on the price of the gifts as well... perhaps we should have two lists one as a gift exchange and the other as a card exchange?  let me know what you think. i have already started a spreadsheet with the first person that signs up!

i so totally see most of you ladies as my close friends, y'all are so funny and you get my obsession with weddings!!

@laylabelle: feel better!!!

so far we have 4-5 brides in and everyone is okay with the card exchange so perhaps we can start it off there first?  do you want to only send cards to one person or everyone on the list?

I would LOVE to, but unfortunately as an international bride, no one is going to be able to afford $5 shipping to me. rather, it doesn't exist. :(

e-gift certificates maybe?

I would definitely participate in a card exchange. :)

@daydreamwanderer: yep that would be cool too!! i think it seems that a majority are okay with the card exchange, so i'm definitely okay with anything (including the online gift certificate as well)... perhaps we should do a card exchange starting out since this is our first go at this? i don't want to exclude anyone because of money (after all i'm the mocha frugalista, and that just doesn't sit well to me for anyone to be excluded!!) lol!!! so are card exchanges okay with everyone?  if you haven't already sent me your info please do so and i will randomly select everyone and i guess i'll have to select my person as well, or maybe i will have m select who everyone goes with so i won't know either...

okay cards are definitely the route that we are going.  can those of you that have sent me their info please send me email addresses as well so that i can notify of the person you'll be exchanging cards with?

thx

okay we have totally decided to do a gift card exchange.  i am going to cut the card exchange list off a week before thanksgiving just so we can get everything out and i can do the list, etc.  if you are interested in the exchange and you haven't pm'd me, please go ahead and do so...

yay!! i'm so excited about this!!! next will be a birthday exchange depending on the success of the christmas card exchange.

hcritton: PM'd ya right back!!

@hcritton: gotcha added!! woohoo!!!

okay so far we have... and we've decided on a card exchange.  does anyone else want to participate?

what? KMSkull isn't in on this?? girl is obsessed with WB, I thought she'd be all over the real life interaction... ;)

lol!!! nope not yet!

okay i have another question, do you just want to send a card to one person on the list or everyone on the list? lemme know

i think we could do it for all as long as it doesn't get out of hand (like if there is 50 ppl... that is too many. 10 or 20 would be fine) :)

sounds good pmerr!! i am really excited, some of the ladies have really great ideas about the types of cards they are sending.

@pmerr: we are just doing christmas cards!  okay so if we keep it under 20 folks a card per person, over 20 one per person it seems is winning so far...

@querida: sounds good!!! we are now at 11 ladies exchanging...

bump for my besties!!

I'm in!

@daydreamwanderer- ha ha ha ha ha! I was at work when this happened! I haven't been super active on WB for a few days. With my parents being in town and the drama of the topic I started, I've been lying low hoping no one hated me!

I'm in for a card exchange!!

KM had a busy weekend w/ her parents... :)

She'll be in for sure though!

*Edit: KM posted 1 minute before me haha. I'm not just repeating everything she wrote... I was just updating the girls wondering what happened to her! lol  

haha KM u posted right before me!! I KNEW you'd be in!

@RB: dear you have to pm me!!! lol!!!!

here are the ladies that we have so far! if you're on the fence we've decided that it will be a card exchange, not a gift.  we will send a card to each person on the list as long as there aren't more than 20, if there are more than 20, we'll send a card to one person, although we could send cards to five people each or something like that if we're more than 20 (wheels turning in brain) lol we have a month to decide.

yeah, please don't make me send cards to more than 20 people! international postage adds up quickly... :)

plus, 20 cards would take forEVER to make and write!

@kms - don't leave us ! I thought your topic was a good reminder, and people jsut read the wrong part of it too strongly :/
