  •    Thanks guys! Planning is going well. My mom and I are doing pretty much everything ourselves, which is fine by me cause I'm a bit of a control freak! 

       I bought alot of things for decor a few days ago. We are having a travel theme and I got some things to use at the reception. I have a luggage case from Michaels's that we'll use to put the luggage tags/ escort cards in (also from Michaels). 

       We are having a bubble send off and I got all the bubbles and the tags (Avery from Office Depot) and started messing around with the tags and how I want them to look. That was frustrating because I had originally used tags I got from Hobby Lobby and couldn't for the life of me figure out how to get them aligned right! I used Avery labels for our Save the Dates and really liked the product.

       Speaking of Save the Dates, I finally got the rest of them in the mail yesterday. I felt so behind with this! I wanted them sent out no later then 5 months out because 95% of our guests are out of town but it was such a struggle to get everyone's address!

       My mom and I are going to the church tonight to see how we can get the pew flowers to look. I have satin ribbon and will use 3 roses at every other pew. My church is very new and modern with no decor what-so-ever! It looks like a movie theater so we have to improvise! I think we might have to buy fabric to use for the aisle runner. My colors are navy and blush pink and I can't find a navy aisle runner that isn't over a $100 to buy/rent!

    I will be ordering my invitations in the next week or so. I have a coupon from DB for 30% that expires on the 30th and I need to get on it! I'm really excited to see them in person! I'm going to print the addresses with a really nice font from Dafont.com. I'm super excited about this!!! I did a trial and they look really nice!

    Anywho, here are my fur babies! They will be in the ceremony as our Flower Girl and Ring Bearer! :D

  • Welcome!  Beautiful children you have there!
    S'mores. Just S'mores please.
  • Aww love the pup pic. We have a lot in common - date twins and I'm not a fan of mushrooms and turn signal avoiders.
  • Your pups are adorable - welcome!

  • Welcome! Your babies are super cute. What's your plan for them while y'all are partying it up at the reception?
  • Thanks y'all! 

    @lplions My parents live down the street from the church so they will just go back to the house.

    @smippet17 I only wish I had a better picture of them!

  • awwwwwwww your doggies are so cute!!! :) sounds like you have a lot done, too! I kind of feel like planning this wedding feels a bit like whack a mole, once I take care of one thing, like 3 or 4 more pop up! lol

    @ashleynhobby good deal - is there enough time for someone else (not your parents, and not you or your FH) to take them home? Is the church okay with you having your furbabies there? I hope so, they're super cute.
  • I love your furbabies!!! Good luck with planning! We are having our fur baby at the wedding as well to get some pictures with us prior to the ceremony - :).

  • @lplions My sisters boyfriend is their "escort" during the ceremony and he will be dropping them off at my parents house. He loves both the dogs as much as we do and he is happy to be apart of everything. My parents house is literally down the street from our church and he will drop them off on the way to the reception venue. We are the first couple to have them at the church and the coordinators are having as much fun with it as we are!

    @schellzinator Thank you! I love them too! Planning is going well and good luck to you! I'm hoping to get as many pictures as I can with them!
