I finished my bridesmaid hair flowers, picked out vest colors for the tuxes, hung out with my nephew who is in town from Oklahoma. He is 8. Laundry folding.....lots of it! ;( Tomorrow night I am meeting with our required church wedding coordinator who already has given me a hard time about not being baptized.

WR: I finally bought my shoes and aisle runner, got the personalized tote bags and flip flops for the BM, sent the checks to the florist and wedding coordinator, bought the thank you cards for the shower (next Sunday), ordered the truffles for the reception.

WR- Picked out the tuxes this weekend, added a couple more things to the registry, cut the insert cards for the invitations, FI looked at wedding rings for him this week, got my shower invitation for my bridal shower FI's mom is throwing in July!
NWR- more spring cleaning even though spring is almost over, bowling on the xbox w/ FI.

Sounds like everyone was very productive!

WR: Worked on our programs, worked on another set of programs

Got started on our RSVP cards, need to print them out and then invites are all done!

NWR: Waiting to hear back about the house we put an offer in on, worked and worked some more!

WR: Finished the invites...again...I thought I had them done but decided I wasn't happy with the fonts, so I switched them up and did some test prints and am very happy with them now. I also finished designing the programs and did a test print on those as well. I tried to do a mock-up of the pocketfolds/create a template to use (I'm trying to diy instead of order) and it was a complete failure, so I'll have to keep working on those. I received the groomsmen's shirts on Saturday and the color was way off, so I searched again, found one I think is closer to what we had originally bought from Kohl's. I've had a hard time finding the right shade in a shirt that can also be ordered in a big and tall size. I love the shirts we originally found, but the largest option was just a little too snug for him. So, I reordered and am planning on returning the other shirts back to Penny's after work. It's hard to find what you're looking for when no one carry's a good selection of Big & Tall in the stores (other than white, blue, and black)--it makes finding the right shade difficult! I also bought my shoes on Friday--not what I had intended but I love them!
NWR: Not much. Did a lot of house cleaning and laundry on Sunday; my fi smoked a pork shoulder for about 10 hours so we couldn't venture too far from home. It was well worth it though!

Finally asked my friend to do our engagement pictures (cheap and he does it for a hobby so I know we will get good pics).

NWR: went out with some friends to an outdoor "concert". Local band plays outdoor every year. Lots of beer, lots of people. I meet up with some old friends I haven't seen in like 2 years as well as met new people. All in all a great weekend. Other than the hangover yesterday from the keg beer lol.
