August 2012 Weddings

Some updates! Maybe a check?

Hi all! I'm wrapping up my last semester, so things are/have been a little crazy. Some updates that I've been meaning to mention:

-My invites finally came in a few weeks ago! I couldn't find my camera to take pictures, but I'll try to get them up soon. I want to add a small embellishment to them, so I need to go out and actually buy the embellishment before I can seal them up and send them off. I am a nut for small details, so I'm going to buy pretty stamps. FI could care less, haha. 

-My "maybe a check" is that I started buying the materials I will need for my wedding favors! I decided a while ago what I wanted: I'm going to make small marble magnets and put them in tins. They're super easy to make, and the cost of materials is within my budget. I bought the glass beads--they're the glass beads that are flat on one side. I think a bunch of people use them as vase fillers. I haven't bought the tins or the actual magnets yet, but I did a lot of internet research and found the best sites with the best prices. I'll be making about 3 per guest, and I have a bunch of people who are willing to help me assemble them.

-We have an appointment to meet with the venue wedding coordinator this weekend. We'll be giving them our food choices and linen choices, and we'll also hammer out all the finer details for the actual day. There were things I hadn't even considered. So I'm pretty excited about that!

-Fi picked up his suit. His wedding band has been in for a while, he just hasn't gone to pick it up, lol. My MOH and I are going to take her dress to get hemmed in a few weeks. 

-I'm waiting for my hair to grow just a little bit more so I can set up my hair trial. It's short in the back, but I usually keep it shorter (hence the growing), so it feels long to me now and it's driving me nuts. 

Oh, and my FMIL is in charge of my bridal shower. She wants to surprise me, so I don't know exactly when it is, but I do know that it'll be sometime around my graduation weekend because my mom will be in town (which will be at the end of this month). I gave her the guest list, and I know the plans are underway. 

I can't believe it's only 3 months away! It's going to be here before I know it!

EDIT: I also bought my flower girl's dress. Pics of that too when I find the camera. 

Re: Some updates! Maybe a check?

  • Haha awesome! I am adding tiny little cogs to them. We sort of have this subtle steampunk element going on. They sell them in bags at Michaels. When I went recently they were all out, so I'll have to check back. It's a super small detail: I just need to glue them on and then seal them up. When I find my camera, I will post pictures of the invites and the save the dates, too, so you can see the similarities. 

    I will be adding extra beading to my dress, though! I still need to set up some time with my friend that's doing it for me to go out and pick out the beads. I'll be pretty excited for that too!
  • Wow, you have gotten quite a bit done!! :)
