Re: Tuesday Checks!

  • I bought the hula hoops for our tent chandeliers. I am SO excited to get these made! They wont be getting made for a couple weeks probably since Carter requested that I wait so he can play with the hula hoops for a while.

  • I actually have some!  I had a couple glasses of wine last night and accomplished more then I ever would have, I've decided that when I want to be productive I just need a couple glasses of wine and to blast some good music :).  I made a draft of our invitation, candy table sign and wish tree sign; I made the bridesmaids and mothers bouquets (they just need the ribbon) and I started on my bouquet.  My mom also picked up the last of the candy jars last night and I think I found some ladles online.

    The best I found on etsy was around $1000 just for the invits and the fans I wanted were going to be around $900. The print shop at work came back at $130 for EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!! I cant believe it!! That is HUGE!!! We wuold need to assemble everything ourselves, but that is not a big deal at all though!! What a great email to get!! :):):)

  • Set up the tasting and had FI call and confirm the food selection.  In the process he thought he was doing a favor and setting up the time for the tasting and the Sunday meeting to confirm everything.  I had already set it so he bucked up and called them back and said whatever time I originally said.  I usually wouldn't be so picky but we have a very tight schedule for the weekend.

  • I bought FI's ring last night! I know it's not his Valentine's day present exactly, but I put it in with his gift. If, for some reason, he doesn't  like it, I can exchange it. Also, I want him to get it today so if it doesn't fit, we can have it sized.

    Once he opens his gift tonight, I'll post a pick of it.

  • -MY DRESS CAME IN!!!
    I finally called and she picked up and was like "I can't believe you are calling, it literally just came in I am looking at it right now". Crazy! Now I have to wait til whenever we head up north again..probably another 3 weeks at least :(

    -Bought our flower petals for the tables

    -Began looking over ceremony stuff. I think it will actually be easier to put together than originally anticipated.

    -Blocked off more rooms at the hotel

    -Moved around an appointment so I can book our pie tasting on the same day.

  • Chelsea....good deal.  Definitely worth saving the money and spending a little time to put them together yourself or get an assembly line going with your mom and some girls.

    My aunt said she was mailing out my shower invitations today.  She wanted to have them postmarked on Valentine's Day (cheesy, but whatever, I'm happy they are out).  This is also huge because my other cousin (on my dad's side) whose shower is on the same day as mine hasn't sent out her invitations yet.  Or if she has she hasn't sent us one knowing we can't come, but we sent her one anyway.
  • -Some bubbles have been bought for our send off!

    -We bought another box of invitations.

    -We also bought another box of program fans.

    -Last night mom and I took inventory of what we had and what we needed!

    There is still lots of little things to do before June 22, 2012!!

  • - Got in the first order of our invites last night.  I was realy excited until FI pointed out that there is a white strip on the left edge of all of them.  I sent in my complaint to Mixbook just now.  hopefully we can do something about it.  This was just the test order.  I wanted to make sure they turned out before ordering all of them.  I need to order 70 more invites & all the RSVP & enclosure cards.  Hope there will not be a problem with those too 
    - uncheck- I did not pick up my wedding band last night.   I might this weekend.  i'm very anxious to get it!!

  • Mailed in the deposit for our officiant.  Phew!  That check was starting to stress me out and I'm so glad we can forget about it for awhile now.
  • I love being able to write checks and then be done with it Julie!  I was so excited a few weeks ago when we sent the last of our vendor checks in, except for catering, it was such a relief to be done with it and not have to worry about it.
  • -check!  we did go pick up my wedding band tonight.  here is a pic.  Please ignore my wrinkly old lady fingers.    I know it's small but it's exactly what I wanted!  The same thickness as the band on my E-ring with diamonds most of the way around.
    Anniversary
  • We bought our wedding bands for a valentines day gift to eachother, I will post pictures when it comes in :)
    Also, not really a check but almost everything has been bought off my registry all of the sudden!! My shower is coming up and I guess there were good sales, I am so excited!
