....its not butter
lol
No I can't believe that the wedding is this close. Less than 150 days now!
Here is the run down of whats been going on:
Change of plan for the guys instead of buying jackets/pants they are renting them..and FI's will be free!
navy jackets with kaki pants.
Girls dresses changed from a coral color to desert blue (blue gray color)
I have money and measurements for 2 of 7 BMs dresses and 1 of 6 GMs
NEW THEME: Peacock!
I think of dark colors when I think peacock but I have found Bright summery colors for peacock.
New colors: Navy, Desert Blue, Bright Blue, Purple (more plum color), bright green, brown, silver--not really in that order either.
My favorite color is blue and FI's fav color is green. It might seem like a lot but they all tie into one little feather.
--Peacock feathers are not $$$$ to order online ==cheap centerpieces
I found the perfect bouquet for me, bridemaids, FI, GMs. cake topper
BM hair piece and it uses cheap flowers (thats a plus)
We finally registared--this happend how I have no clue we almost killed each other in the process. It was a long horrible day! I did find the perfect fine everyday china for us its kinda awesome looks like pottery.-
-interesting side note: at Belk's something happend to the scanner and FI ended up registaring for 61 5-pc BBQ sets; 87 George Forman Grills; 79 accent couch pillows among other random odd number of things.
Now our STDs are being addressed and should be in the mail by Friday!
Thomas and I are busy working on our invites.
I have typed up the RSVP wording and he is going to lay the format out for the other inset cards. I have $$$$ taste but we do not have the $$$$ budget to match so we improvise. The invites I want are going to cost over $1000 to buy them fully completed. FI is a designer by trade so I'm putting him to use.
-He is going to design the insert cards and the invite itself. We are going to buy the cardstock paper. He works with a printer in town and they are going to cut the cardstock paper used for insert cards to the right size for a reasonable charge (its insanly cheap). Then he will set up the printer for each card size and we will print them out. To get the pocket fold like I want we are going to fork up the money and buy the backing layer for our invite and the pocket fold along with the envelopes-inner and outter-- for it from mygatsby.com This isn't expensive either since they are not printing anything for us just sending us blank paper.
-As for the RSVP envelope--we are searching for either cream/ivory colored envelopes. If we can't find ones we like we will simply buy them from mygatsby to match the backing layer. I think FI wants to have the printer in town print our return address on it since it can be troublesome he says.
-I"m happy I get my invites I want and FI is happy that it is going to cost less than 1/4 the orginal estimate when we INCLUE postage!!
wow that was alot..but thats my update.
I feel like I'm getting married and its for real now!!!
So how is everyone else's planning going?
