RSVP's

Ever since we sent out the invitations, the response cards have been coming back like crazy! I always manage to be at my parent's house when the mailman comes because I am so excited each day to see everyone's responses. And I LOVE when people take the time to write little messages about how excited they are or how beautiful the invitations are, even though the response cards ended up being hard to write on. It makes me feel like a little kid at Christmas!... until the days I open the mailbox and there are none, talk about disappointment!

At any rate, I am extremely excited and it makes me happy to know other people are excited too! I just hope I don't need to make too many phone calls regarding attendance and meals come August 3rd when responses are due.

The next time I receive a wedding invitation, I will send that baby back in immediately so I don't torture them. 

What do you do when receiving a wedding invitation?

a. respond immediately

b. wait it out a bit (my meal is an important decision!)

c. nothing, they call me eventually.

The correct answer is A, but I can understand if you answer B. Answer C is unacceptable, just saying :P

One Month!

One more month until the big day! Also known as the busiest month of my entire life, but I couldn't be happier that the day is finally almost here!

Heart Banner

I would like to start this post with an apology. I am sorry it has been FOREVER since my last post! I have been extremely busy with the wedding a month away and moving in a week. But I'll make you a deal... I will try really hard to start posting more often, even through the chaos of the next month or so -IF- you all start showing the love. According to my pageviews, people actually do read this! A girl could use a few comments once in a while!

I will get back on track starting with this heart banner. My mom made it for my bridal shower to add a little something extra, and I love the way it turned out! You see, my mom isn't really the craftiest person in the world, but she really got into it for the shower (she made the invitations herself) and I was so proud of her crafting abilities! Go Mom!!

Didn't she do a great job?! Looks like I got my crafting genes from someone after all!

Invitations Have Been Sent!!

I was able to get all the invitations put together and addresses this weekend, which means they were put in the mail yesterday! This is the last BIG thing I needed to do, so it's a big check off the to-do list! Several people have already received them, which makes me very happy! I guess I'm just a nerd like that :P

Two Months!!

SERIOUSLY, where did JUNE go?! Can't believe the wedding is only two months away! It's actually starting to feel real! Time to get my butt in gear. So much to do...

so little time!

Invitations Have Arrived!!

I have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of my wedding invitations for quite some time now! They are finally in my hands and I can't wait to put them all together and get them in the mail. As if a bridal shower and seeing all my favorite people this weekend wasn't enough, I can now add "address invitations" to my lengthy list of ways to avoid studying for finals! :)

Here is the packages the invites came in. I swear Jordanne Marie Photographers thinks of everything when it comes to making packages functional but fun. It makes me want a reason to mail all kinds of cute packages to people.

Aren't they pretty?! I can't wait to put them all together and get these babies in the mail!

The First of Three Bridal Showers

I would like to start by apologizing for my lack of posts as of late. I ended up getting sick last week, and school has decided to take every ounce of free time I have. Only two more weeks until freedom and full force wedding planning begins! And it's a good thing because we have so many thank you's to write and invitations to address!

Anyways, back to the topic for today... I had my first Bridal Shower on Saturday and it was fabulous! The shower was put on by my mom and sister, and they couldn't have done a better job. It was located at Crumb's Gourmet Cookie Cafe, the food was amazing, and so was the company :) They did a great job decorating and making everything look cute. Unfortunately, the camera wasn't cooperating and the flash didn't go off for most of the pictures, so the quality may not be the best, but I still have to post some because I loved it so much.

Two fabulous bridesmaids!

This is the prize table. Didn't they do a great job making everything match?!

Food!

About to start opening the gifts!

We got so many wonderful gifts and I am so excited to move into our new house to put some of those things to good use! We will be have to throw a house warming party so we can use our serving platters, wine glasses, and a signature drink with our new beverage dispenser!

Thank you to all that were able to attend, and for those that weren't able to, you were missed! I had such a blast and I can't wait for our next one this Saturday!
