CHECKS for 01/20/12

I am going to be off work soon so i thought i would start this thread for today as i won't be around when everyone else is.

I got my crinoline in the mail yesterday, it is way bigger than i expected in the waist so i am going to add velcro, i am worried it will fall down if i don't, that the ties will come undone lol, i can't wait to try it under my dress. The receptionist at the dress shop told me i would never find one as cheap as theirs (60 to rent). I not only found it 10$ cheaper (shipping was so expensive) but it has lining inside & outside so that the netting wont rub against my legs like theirs did.

I ordered my silk flowers for cheap cheap, i am so nervous about making my bouquets but yet excited, i can't wait till they get here. I am going to pick up the rest of the stuff to make them on saturday.

I ordered my first ever boy shorts to go under my dress, because my thighs touch i get chaffing if i get too hot & i know with how heavy & how many layers my dress has that i will be very hot. I hope they will cover enough of the area to prevent chaffing. There was quite the sale, i got 3 pairs with shipping for 21$, they were 1/2 price with an aditional 20% off.

We only have to get our rings then we have nothing left to buy until we buy the pop & supplies for our reception. I hope to be able to start paying down vendors.

    Here are some stock photos because I haven't taken any with them on--and probably shouldn't since I'm not married yet!

  • Checks in progress:
    I am in the process of deciding which slik flowers I want from wedideas.com. I was going to go with fresh flowers, but its not in my budget and everyone vetoed my DIY plan. My grandma offered to pay for the silk flowers, so I guess I am going with them.

    Last night my mom and I printed all of my invitations and reply envelopes, we were designing the response cards when the weather got bed and I had to leave. I think we will finish over the weekend.
    I didn't have a chance to take a picture of the final product, but here is one of my rough drafts:

  • My shower and bachelorette party have officially been set for May 19th. YAY!!! My BM emailed me this morning asking for an invite list for both.
  • Picked out groomsmen gifts from an Etsy seller who had a sense of humor similar to ours. FI decided to go with Tie Bars instead of cufflinks since they're more practical.

    Yesterday, FI and I opened a joint bank account, which we've been wanting to do for a while now. We'll put money into savings for the wedding and future household expenses, and we'll use the chequing account for date nights and some shared groceries (we don't live together yet). I was happy that I finally got to check it off my list, but FI was reeeeally happy! He kept saying, "It feels so real now! We're really getting married!" It was cute. Maybe it means more to him because he's in accounting...  :)

    I also sent our guest list to my parents for a final "ok" and got a thumbs up this morning.

    Check- My brother was fitted for his tux yesterday and I left a deposit on that. He moves in two weeks about 15 -20 hours away from me so I'm glad to have it done.


    AW: FI's mom texted me this morning letting me know she and FI's dad would be paying for our Rehearsal dinner and she offered to pay for FI's suit.

    AND a date has been picked for my bridal shower!
