April 2013 Weddings

4 Big Checks today :)

Figured out my bridal shower is Feb 2nd and my SIL-to-be  and also a BM is flying in from San Fran to Florida- YAH!

Booked our Rehearsal Dinner!

Booked final cake tasting and actually just negotiated a FREE, yes FREE wedding cake with our caterer.  I was going way overboard with desserts. I took one item away and voila, free wedding cake.  They are renowned in this city for having amazing cakes so this was a huge help and no stress!

And....  Our invitations came in today!  When I opened the box, I cried.  They are more beautiful than the proofs via email!!  I am excited to use ETSY and support a local biz! But seeing our names, just made it real today! I didn't even cry when I tried on wedding gowns LOL

  • Oh - and I also ordered funky colored paper straws, fun paper bags for the candy bar treats and won another bid for a killer vintage suitcase that I am using as a prop off of ebay.

    So excited to get things done!!

    Who did you use on etsy?  I have been trying to do our invites myself with no luck.  Closing in on a month before I wanted to mail them, I think I better get on ordering them and give up trying to do it myself.  There are too many choices on etsy!

     

  • I am in St. Petersburg!  We are getting married on Sunset Beach which is a tiny beach between Treasure Island and St. Pete Beach.  :)

  • I used MossyDog. She was wonderfully priced and quick response and turn around time.

    This is a link to something we sorta went with.  We are doing a Vintage Nautical themed wedding - Old world travel esque.

    We used Navy Ink for the invitations backed on an antique gold backing and she used the vintage map of the actual beach we are getting married on from years past when the towns were named differently, etc.  It's perfect.  She also put a tiny compass on the bottom which ties into our theme.  So the link isn't ours but imagine that with the extras.

    That's AWESOME!!  I'm moving to St. Pete after the wedding and honeymoon!  I LOVE it there and I can't wait to live there :-)
  • Oh wow!!

    I can honestly say - I LOVE this city.  Well at least the area around downtown.

    Word of advice - try and live as close to downtown as possible is that is feasible.  There are some really unique neighborhoods in the area.  Our downtown is just absolutely incredible, vibrant, fun, ALWAYS a million things to do!  

    Small world - how cool :)

    I would LOVE to live closer to downtown St. Pete.  We are looking at houses between downtown and NE St. Pete near the Gandy.  FI lives near the Gandy right now and his commute to the base was cut in half compared to when he lived in Brandon.  I have no idea where I'm going to work when I get down there but I'm going to grad school at USF in a year(hopefully) so it would probably still be nice to live near 275 and the Gandy.  We shall see :-)
  • That is perfect! That whole area is super convenient to getting downtown :)

    The base is right over the bridge so a really quick commute. USF has a big campus downtown so check out that one as well. Not sure of their programs however.

    Great and fun changes coming your way - very exciting!! Congrats :)

  • Thanks!  I already know what program I want to apply to so I don't think I'll get much of a choice on campuses ;-)  I want to start talking to a realtor!!  heheehe :-)
