Hello hello! Long time no see. Things have been stalled a bit because of the new job and a lack of time. I love the DISboards and you guys but when I get home the last thing I want to do is get on the computer...after making dinner, and taking care of Sadie, it's late and I am pooped. Plus most of the planning that could be done had been done, and now that we have hit the 4 month mark (WOW!!) it's time to kick it in to gear again. Here's what we have left that I can think of right now:
- Pick out BM Shoes (we are thinking silver)
- Get Brian's tux fitted
- Make programs (ahhh)- still working on this
- Pick out and buy rehearsal dinner invitations
- Finish making table names (they are really cute so far)
- Make CD of our ceremony music (we have to loop and edit a lot of songs, hopefully this isn't too hard- anyone have any suggestions of the best way to do this?)
- Finalize wedding list
- Finalize decorations (decide on whether or not to get characters, have a $700 gobo -probably not)
- Decide on whether or not to add more green into the color mix (do you guys think this will be too much?)
- Make appointments for BMs to have hair and makeup done
- Mom needs to get her dress
- set up dinner reservations for honeymoon
- Create an itenerary for Brian and myself
- MARRIAGE LICENSE
That's pretty much all I can think of at this time...oh! and make "Welcome/Thank You" Bags. Ok, that's about it. I am sure there is more that I am missing. Let me know if you think of anything.
We purchased our ring pillow as I mentioned in my last post and it came in. It looks great! Better than I expected. Here it is:
I have been looking for hair styles for my bridesmaids and here is what I am really loving (wish I could do it to my hair but I know that I prefer my hair down and so does Brian):
We also received our wedding signature from Shadowryter here on the DISboards. It will go on the wedding fan programs, and I am almost done with getting the formatting perfect. It hasn't been easy trying to get everything on the fan. Thank you shadowryter! What an amazing job!
Lastly, here is a pic of one of the table names: The Little Mermaid. I made this with my cricut create (I think that's the one, it's the little one). I bought shimmery white cardstock for the backing, which is hard to see in this picture, and blue, burgundy, and green cardstock for the rest of the card since it matches the theme. All of them basically follow the same scheme and so they look similar but with different names. I'll try to remember to snap a few shots of the rest of the ones I have made so far and post them.
Glad to be back and hopefully I am here more often. xoxo to you all and I hope you are doing absolutely wonderful.
