More to do...

These are similar to what my next DIY project will be like. I already have the wooden signs and I've been looking on dafont but there are so many neat fonts that I can't decide which one to use!


One major difference is that I want ours to say Mrs. and Mr. rather than Bride and Groom. ;)

The knot is telling me I still have 99 things left to do... and considering we only have 73 days left -- that seems a little overwhelming.

These are some things that need to be dealt with... like now:

Our hotel: I booked two suites to get ready in (one for me and my bridesmaids & one for Sean and his groomsmen). But I didn't realize that booking them for Friday into Saturday meant that check-out time on Saturday is noon. Which means we'll have to check out right in the middle of getting ready! What's the point of that?! So apparently, we have to pay to have both rooms for two nights. Crazy and ridiculous but it's the only way since late check-out is not an option.

Videographer: I'm still really torn whether or not to have one. We don't need it... and right now it's not something that I even necessarily want.

Our honeymoon: We have our flights/car rental/and our hotel vouchers... but we have to actually go through and choose the places we'll be staying. That's something we need to do pretty soon...

Transportation: A few months ago when I tried to book the shuttle to carry guests and us from the hotel to the venue the company told me it was too early and to call back. Weird? Yah... well now it's almost here and I have to call back...

Invitations: They definitely need to be addressed... I just keep saying it and not doing anything about it! This weekend (maybe the beginning of next week)... for sure. It's my immediate goal. I swear.

Tomorrow (in the daylight) I'm going to take pictures of my shower scrapbook! I tried taking them tonight but the lighting is not that great and the iPhone is lacking a flash, so...

Goodnight!

Invitation Preparation

In preparation of looking through and hopefully choosing our invitations next weekend - I've been googling. A lot.

I'm sort of "Knotted" out. As in The Knot... isn't really impressing me lately. Maybe it's because I've been staring at the site for a year and half now (and not much has seemed to change). I don't know.

I visit Martha Stewart's wedding site frequently and it's where the beautiful stationery to the left was found. I love it.

But I found the most useful information on Emily Post Weddings.

I loved reading through everything. I actually read it for hours today. There's so much to think about: invitation wording, how to address the invitation to your guests... if they're not married but live together; if they're single but bringing a guest; if they're together but live separately. I mean it shouldn't be this complicated!

One idea that I really liked and plan on starting tomorrow is to write each guest's correct name with their proper title and address on separate index cards. I think this will be better than a spreadsheet. I found that when I was trying to organize addresses for our save the dates, the spreadsheet was really hard to read. There were so many names, and even though the font was a normal size sometimes I would confuse the lines and have to start again. So to have index cards for each person/couple is going to be my next task. Maybe it'll truly be successful. ;)
