Eeek (shriek of excitement)! Dresses and some other checks...

eagles347 · December 2010

My dress is in! My dress is in! I'm so excited! I have to wait until this weekend to get to Atlanta though so I will be at the shop bright and early on Saturday! I am really excited about this check...pics to come.

The bridesmaids dresses are in as well and 5/8 of them have been paid in full and picked up. They all need alterations as most are way too big.

7/8 of my bridesmaids have shoes and fortunately buying the shoes before the dress came in didn't hurt us and the color is fine! Whew!

I purchased our cake topper one evening when I went to Michael's to meet up with admallard. I also ended up buying a broom that was on clearance so I may DIY that.

The rehearsal dinner invitations and response cards are designed now I just have to buy paper and print. I was going to use VP, but I designed some when I had insomnia one night and I want to use them.

More to come soon, I hope!

YAY!!! CONGRATS!!!!

With the rehearsal invites, why don't you just have VP to print them? {Just a thought.}

I actually thought about that, but I need custom sizes and I couldn't find exactly what I needed on VP. You know I'm always DTM as my line sister says (doing to much) so they have an invitation, two enclosures, a response card, a belly band, and a personalized envelope. *hangs head in shame* One pack of cardstock will do it though since we aren't inviting everyone on our guest list to the dinner so it will end up being a semi-affordable task. I don't plan to spend over $35 on them including supplies and printing.

yay for all of your checks!! I am sure you are super excited to pick your dress up. One question, did you ever find any shoes you liked?

Noooo! My screen is open now with all these tabs set up to find shoes. I think I may just get them to dye a pair that they have at the shop. I saw a few that are actually cute. I think if I do that, I will want green instead of navy. People will expect navy so I'm thinking this color...
