Wedding Update Wednesday!

Since no one's started this yet for today (being it's pretty early in the day), and I'm excited about what I did for the week -- I'll start!  :)

1. Ordered my wedding bands!! yayyyyy!  They come in on Friday -- I'm sooo exciteddddd
2. Sent bridesmaids store info and gave them the deadline of Thanksgiving to order their dresses
3. Looked at veils to decide on the fabric I wanted to use (irridescent tulle)... I have one from my aunt that I'm going to see what the different lengths will kind of look like (hers is yellowed, so I'm not going to use hers)... and then order it online, hopefully today.
4. Ordered the dog tuxedo for my ring bearer  :)
5. Picked out the style of bridesmaids jewelry that I want... now I have to find it in the right color or make it myself... I'm giving it to them as their gift.
6.  Started working on invite pocket envelopes again (I kind of forgot about it for awhile, but now I'm hoping to finish that up within the next 3 weeks... it's taking foreverrrr)
7. Finished designing my STDs, now I just have to order them.  I think I'm going to join the bandwagon and go for the free 100 on vistaprint... but I need like 120... so I guess I have to order another 100 after.... since they only seem to offer specific increments to order...

I'm surprised how much I've gotten done this week... I guess after I finished one thing I just had full steam for the rest of it.  :)

    Awesome checks bito!

    FI and I booked our honeymoon to Bermuda!!!  Woohoo!  After researching for months, Expedia has a sale going on for some hotels.  We decided to stay at the Newstead Belmont Hills Resort, which is #1 on tripadvisor for Bermuda.  Jetblue revealed their flight schedules this week through Sept, so we were able to book the flights as well.  So excited!

    - Finalized the design of our save the dates. They're being printed now and should arrive later this week. Here's the front:



    - Went bridesmaid dress shopping with two of my girls and my future mother-in-law. We all fell in love with one dress and the other girls love the look of it too. We're going with this Eden dress in amethyst.

    Chelsea your STDs are super cute! There is a seller on Etsy that makes jewelry on that idea. She takes a metal cut out of your state and puts a heart cut out over the city where you live.

    Decided to send out STD's at the end of this month. (We just realized we planned our wedding on High School Graduation Weekend :(  6.23.12 just sounded so cute!) 

    Also planning a Wedding Party Trip to Niagara Falls for a night to just get silly with our friends as a big THANKS for putting up with us.

    That's pretty much it...
    oh and trying to pick a reception entrance song ! see my post...LOL




    First comes Love (2.23.2006)
    Then comes Marriage (6.23.2012)
    Then comes Baby #1 (5.10.2013)
    And Baby #2 (EDD 6.15.2014)
    In the baby carriage!

    I actually feel like I'm making progress now that the wedding is 200 days away!

    -I finally picked a photographer! I'm so excited since I've been killing myself with indecision since May! I love the guy we picked and am so confident that he'll do his best to give us amazing photos.
    -I went to a local printing press to quote how much it would be for letterpress invites. I'm hoping that since this place was basically hobbiests who rented warehouse space that their prices won't be as astronomically high as letterpress usually is. *fingers crossed*
    -I set the date for our tasting at our venue. I'm so looking forward to the deliciousness!
    -Mike and I have started looking at wedding rings!

    I think that's it, but it seemed like a lot more in my head.

    I missed Wednesday but Dave and I looked at wedding bands too! And tried on suits! The biggest thing though is our whole family has started a "biggest loser" contest between now and the wedding. We are all putting in $30 and whoever loses the highest percentage of starting weight wins! I am hoping everyone will do it in a healthy way as it is 6 months away- no crash dieting! I don't have too much to lose, but I need some motivation just to get on track and in shape- I think this will be it!

    Have you ever been to the site fatbet.net? It's actually set up for the very contest you're running. I did it with my sister before and it's really fun to see the little graph of everyone's weight and there's a message board for cheering on (and trash talking) your competittors.

    I'm a little late but I did a few things!

    -had our engagement photoshoot! It went pretty well and I can't wait to see the pics. We also decided we're going to have her be the photographer for the wedding as well.

    -bought a TON of wedding decor. I absolutely love late-season sales. I bought so many fall decorations from Michael's, AC Moore, and Wegman's for dirt cheap.

    -met with our DJ to sign the contract papers and get our big packet of song requests and whatnot to fill out.

    that's about it I guess! We're closing on our house next week so wedding stuff has been put on the back burner for a bit while we pack and get ready to move.
