What photo did you end up going with for your save-the-date??? Post it pretty please!
Re: **jware1985**
So i decided to not use our engagement pictures on the Save the Dats's because i found these super cute postcards instead. and then we are going to put a engagement picture in with the invitations when we mail those out. But i can't pick just one! and niether can CJ so i think we are going to pick our top 3 and then alternate them in the invites
Here is what our Save the Date's look like....
I love it! It is sooo cute! Very nice choice
I also really like your idea of alternating engagement photos in the actual invites.
Can't wait to meet my baby boy!
Thanks i am so excited with how the postcards turned out and then i loved every single one of our engagement pictures i went to kodak.com and made them into a book. So i was pretty excited about that. I still wnat to blow a few up to like a 8x10 size or something to put up in the house, like aout room and the living room too
i jsut can't believe how close the big day is getting
These last few months are the best part of being engaged! Savor every moment, they go by way too fast!
I miss wedding world sooo much! Wedding planning was easily the most fun I ever had. I wish we were engaged for more than a year looking back, just to drag out the planning, lol.
What do you have left to do???
Can't wait to meet my baby boy!
I have to get CJ's ring. lol that is kind of important
then we need our marriage license and flowers, pick our song list, order the favors. but i already know which ones i want i just need to order them. figure out how we want our cake decorated, order our cake topper( again i know which one we wnat but i need to order it). finanlize our ceremony with the misister of what we wnat and don't want. block some rooms at the hotel for the out of town guest. get out guest book and card thing.
make sure the my FSIL gets her bridesmaid dress soonish incase they need to order it. and also my FMIL needs to get her dress in order i think... then do the tux stuff... man i feel like the list is never ending... i my have to delegate some of this to the wedding planner with work being so crazy and school i feel a little overwhelmed but so excited. I am loving this year of planning.... i am sure i will miss it when it is done.
that is so exciting your 1 year is just in a couple weeks
Have you been to the WAS (wedding accessory superstore)? They have a really great selection of MOB and MIL dresses and tuxes, as well as guest books/pens/card boxes that coordinate with flower girls and ring bearer accessories. They are located in the north valley, and I know your kinda NW (right?), so maybe you could venture over one of these weekends, or they also have a website. Oh! And they have weekly specials and coupons - which I really liked b/c I was definitely a budget bride.
I can totally relate to the whole school-stress thing, we got married the week of finals! That was sucky. Although, my math teacher did let me skip the final as a wedding gift, lol.
Yup our anny is just around the corner, and I am SO excited for our cake! I love love love cake, I could live off of it, and our wedding cake was delish!!! Is it weird that I am this excited for the cake?
Can't wait to meet my baby boy!
No, I love love love cake too! and my sister said that her wedding cake on her one year anny was just as delicious as the wedding day so I would be pretty excited about that too! my sister also recreated the meal they served at their wedding for her hubby on the anny to celebrate.
OK so i just called a hotel in surprise to see if i could get a group rate and she said they only had studio's available for that time (around our wedding) and the reg rate is $149 and the discount/group rate is $127! so i am going to call around and see what else i can find
thanks for the heads up on the store there. I told the bridesmaid/MOH that i wnated them to wear watermelon and for the dress to be long and the satin material since the ceremony is at 4 and that i wanted them to not get the same dress as my sister... the MOH. other then that they could pick what ever style dress they wanted so that they would be comfotable in what they were wearing so my FSIL is the only one left beside FMIL to get their dresses.
I just can't wiat to get married and i hope i can take a short leave of absence in school the month before the wedding so that i am not so super stressed out hahaha
Oh I really love when BMs have different dresses, it looks so beautiful in pictures! I wish we did that! Lol.
I'm not familiar with the Surprise area, but if there is a Holiday Inn in your area, they offer very reasonable group rates. I think ours were like $89. But then again it was in the "summer" season, so they might have been discounted. Have you found that your vendors charge more b/c of your fall date? That is one of the main reasons we chose the spring/summer date.
Where are you honeymooning? How long are you going?
Can't wait to meet my baby boy!
**butting in**
What kind of favors are you getting?
I have actually have been very lucky with my vedors... i think they charged a little more just because it is a Sat we are getting married but they have all be reasonably priced and good quality which makes me happy. i am a totaly budget bride and i am so far under budget so thats good and that makes my dad happy.
My parents are planning our honeymoon as a gift but i think they are sending us to Disneyland which i am so super excited about because both FI and I have not been there since we were like 5 or so. and we will go out to San diego and just toodle around there. and then for our one year we wnat to go on a bigger trip to maybe make some babies haha
Can't wait to meet my baby boy!
Yea, i thought that was so super nice of them. I can;t wait and i am pretty excited about California Adventures too! We both have never been there
lol we get all excited about amusement parks
i just can't beleive the wedding is a little more than 5 months away!!! i am so excited! hahaha
Can't wait to meet my baby boy!
Yes! Lol! Are you? I originally was not into the whole idea of BB, b/c we don't eat our food fast enough and things go bad. But we're splitting w/ Jillypoo and her FI, so I'm not worried about getting more than we can handle. And the idea of getting things we don't usually buy is kind of exciting. I've started cooking and baking A LOT more often b/c it relieves stress and clears my mind. So it'll be nice for a challenge to cook with new ingredients.
I wish you didn't live so far from me, it'd be so fun to double date!
Can't wait to meet my baby boy!
I know i am so super excited, i told my mom all about it and I told her i would bring some stuff to her tomorrow and then if she wants to go half and half with me on it we totaly could...
I really wnat to start baking a cookimg more then i currently do but i just seems like these last coupld weeks at work are so draning and busy. so i will def make a better effort this next week
i wish we llived closer to hahah hopefully you can make it to baking day even if your broguht your treats pre-made i really want to get to meet you face to face haha you know instead of in cyber land here. and i promise the AC will be on
Lol! I feel like I've made so many friends on here, and then I realize I've only actually met a few face to face. So I am definitely going to try my hardest to make it on baking day.
I emailed Yara about a picnic gtg (before the heat spikes). So we'll see what she thinks, I think it'd be a lot of fun! We could even pot luck! Can you believe how many nesties are on meet up now? There are over 50!
Can't wait to meet my baby boy!
That would be fun! i am not a huge heat fan so it would def have to be before the crazy heat hits! lol.
i know I think it is so awesome that there are so many. i hope we can all GTG at somepoinit that would be pretty fun
That would be crazy to have all 50+ nesties together. Lol!
I am seriously not getting any work done today, and I don't even care. TGIF!
