    Just a reminder that if you joined the recipe and/or notecard swap, that you need to put them in the mail by Monday, September 26!  You have one week!!

    http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/notecard-and-recipe-swap-now-open-must-sign-up-by-august-31st

    I like polls so I added one!

    Steps to follow...

    1. In about a week, after we get everyone to join, your swap partners will be assigned.  An email reminder should be sent to your email you listed on swap-bot.

    ETA: Swap partners were assigned on Sept 2nd.  You should have gotten an email. If you didn't, you can log in to your swap-bot account and follow the steps below to see the partners you send to.

    2. Log back into swap-bot and under this swap, click on "See the partners you send to."  It should give you the names of your partners with their addresses.

    Recipe and/or Notecard Swap needs to be mailed by September 26th (Next Monday!) :  wedding GrabberRaster 0344.jpg

    3. Send your note cards and/or recipes.  Deadline to send is Monday, September 26th.

    4. Log back into your account and update that they were sent.

    5. When you receive your note cards from your partners, log back in and rate your partners.

    That's it!

    If you have any question about the specifics of the recipe or the notecard swap, you can find all the details on swap-bot.

    I have an issue.  I received two of my three notecard swaps which is great! Yay!  But one of them doesn't match up name-wise with any of the names in my swap-bot ratings area.  So yeah, I'm not sure how I can rate this person until elimating the last person but even then, I'm not 100% certain it's the remaining person on the rating's list.

    @beekiss: I think under swap-bot you should be able to message your partners.  Could you message your two remaining partners to see which one sent their already?

    @luvalways86: Hi.  I'm sorry but I'm afraid you can't participate in this swap.  We already assigned our swap partners.  I'm sorry.  If we have another one swap, be sure to sign up!

    Shoot! I sent out my notecards, but just did my recipe cards tonight. They're ready to be mailed tomorrow--if I can figure out how to log back in to the swap (not just swapbot)...

    @luvalways86:PM me and I'll send you 3 recipes if you send me 3. I somehow thought I had 3 partners, not 2, so I'm ready to send them ASAP. :) They aren't the most beautiful recipe cards, but they are my three current favorite recipes.

    Nope, I'm a procrastinator, too. Mine are getting sent out first thing tomorrow morning.

    It's completely fine to wait til the deadline to send. That's why we have the deadline.  I wanted to give members enough time to buy notecard and/or to make recipe cards.

    For those of you waiting, you have to do a little more waiting.  There are some members who are out of the country so it may take longer to get your swaps or to send them. Just be a little more patient.

    If you want, you could send a message to your partner asking them if they sent out their swap yet.  Some need another reminder.

    Oh, if anyone misses the deadline to send, just be sure to  send a message to your partner telling them it's late.  I would rather get a late swap then not getting one at all.  Don't be one of the flakers.  Weddingbee doesn't like flakers and neither will your partner. ;)

    On Tuesday after the deadline has passed, I should be able to see who has sent their swaps and who hasn't.  I will directly send emails to the members whose swaps have not be sent. If I don't get a response from them,  I will find them on weddingbee. 

    Anyway, I hope I don't have to do that.

    Oh, for those of you who sent out your swaps already, don't forget to go back into swap-bot and click on the 'Click here when you have sent your items'.

    Thanks!
