Anjanette & Jason Disneyland Hotel PJ (May 8, 2010) -- We're back! 5/15

[Chilly]

The coach!

 

[shippedtosea]

Hey! can't wait to see the invites. I can't believe your getting the coach! thats SO exciting! I'm jealous!

 

[ghoulish delight]

Thank you all for your continued excitement and support! Helps little ol' stressed Anj keep her head on straight!

I failed to mention that we decided on a new topper! Sadly, it's not Nightmare themed but it's all good. It's a cute Mickey and Minnie one my parents bought for us as a "back up", lol. We figured we might as well go ahead and use it.

Last trip DF and I made to the park, we had to buy these adorable wedding pins that just came out... not sure if they already have 'em at WDW or not? But I love them!

I tried to get a few pics of the invitation so you guys could check it out. It didn't turn out too well though. Too much white for my camera to handle or something. Here's what I did get:

The font was 'lapis' and the inner lined envelope was supposed to be 'pool'. Ugh. That's my biggest disappointment with them. It looks like aquamarine or something? :sigh Nothing I can change about it now. It'll just have to work. I need to keep reminding myself that 99% of the invites will be tossed away shortly after the wedding anyway. I think I'm starting to stress now simply because of it getting closer.

Now, for the last photo of the day! I had bought these precious Disney wedding coloring books for my FGs a couple months ago as one of the little wedding gifts for them. Today, DF and I went to the Disney Store and saw the perfect thing to give them! They're too cute for words, so here's the sweet loots I scored all together.

I know I apologize a lot, but I feel guilty for not being around recently. I've missed out on wishing some of you girls a happy wedding day, and/or giving the support I'd have liked to.

It's just been one thing after another. I discovered my cat had developed an abscess about a week ago. We had to take him to a 24 hour vet and they did surgery on him to remove it. Apparently he got bitten by something?? He's an effing indoor cat, for crying out loud! It makes no sense... but yeah. Then it was Jason's birthday. Being that I'm still unemployed, I was sad not to be able to spoil him this year. I'm trying to tie up all loose ends with the wedding that I can, but it's hard without my personal fundage to help. Just yesterday, DF found out one of his best friends he lost touch with some years ago and had been searching for actually passed away in 2004 from a brain tumor he didn't know he had. OH! And I was informed a few days ago that now my OTHER sister-in-law is preggers too! So I've currently got 3 pregnant BMs. Lol! At least one is giving birth a month before the wedding, but yikes.

So pretty much, prayers and/or happy beams are greatly appreciated right now! My stress level is affecting me physically a bit. I've been clenching my jaw in my sleep kind of stress. Haha, so sad!

Oh well... once I get a job, it will be all good! Almost 3 months to go now, so yay! At least I have our big day to look forward to, regardless of all else.

Hoping you're all taking care! xoxo

Sometimes life happens and message boards and other things come second...Just glad to see that you're back.
The right job will find you...and I know that is so not what you want to hear....but it will all work out...it always does...strange how that happens.
Hang in there and it will all work out!

Thank you for understanding and being so sweet! I am in dire need of some friendly kindness, so thanks muchly! I know everything happens for a reason, I just gotta keep hanging in there.

 

[Boardwalk_bride]

I am so glad you are back, but I'm really sorry to hear that you have so much stress. I am also unemployed, and even though I am still in school, all I am doing is writing a paper, so I feel like I need a job. And I definitely understand what you mean by stress affecting you physically....it definitely does do that!

Just remember to always be grateful that you have something AMAZING coming up in a few months...that is how I cope and it always makes me feel better

 

[LLLBelle]

I'm glad to see you back on! Everything has a funny way of working. All the little things you will obsess about won't end up mattering in the end and you will more than not even miss them. A job will come, just keep your head up

And if you need any help with anything, please let me know. I have plenty of time on my hands with the wedding done. Although I am working on an etsy store, but it could take a bit of time to get it up.

The FG gifts are adorable and the invites came out nice, and yes most people do throw them out. Unless you're the brides mother who insist on extras to preserve them

Ugh, the stress stinks I tells ya! At least you're a student, so that's a good reason to be unemployed. It's really hard to work AND take classes so just keep at it. And thanks for the advice! I do need to keep my sights set on that positive little factor. I think everything will fall into place RIGHT before the wedding. I just have this feeling about it!

You and I will be working again and complaining about having to work again in no time, I'm sure of it! Lol

Laurie! You're such a sweetheart! I'm trying to tell myself to keep that tidbit of advice of yours in mind! I think that's why I didn't freak on the invitations. I really wanted to go with something more like you had designed for me. But I think it would have been a headache for me if it printed funky or something. I'm an uber perfectionist, so if it had gotten messed up it would have been a bad idea forme to do them myself. Lol

So excited to hear about your etsy store, by the way! Can't wait to see what you come up with! Oh, and I'm still anxiously awaiting your TR from your wedding/Disneymoon!

 

[Chilly]

I saw those pins at WDW, they are really nice.

That's the topper I had.

 

[Petals & Pixie Dust]

Welcome muchly!

 

[MainStMandy]

Yay you are back!! I love the pins and your invitations came out great!!!

 

[figmentfan814]

So sorry to hear about all the little things in life that brought you down lately. That must have been really hard for Jason finding out about his friend. I hope your kitty is doing much better now too.

The gifts for your flowergirls are absolutely perfect, so cute! Just went and bought that pin on eBay, lol. I have a pin frame that has ones from our wedding with a wedding picture in it, so I needed it to add to that frame I had 2 pregnant bridesmaids at my wedding too, but one didn't realize she was pregnant yet

 

[shippedtosea]

Hey lady! I like the new cake topper! its sweet! Sorry your original idea didn't work. I LOVE those pins I saw them on ebay but lost the auction! haha

I'm sorry the invites are a little disappointing. I think they are really pretty.

I really want the FG presents! haha. I freaked out when I saw the Ariel and Eric one! I want it now! they are great

I'm sorry you have been having so many problems. Its such a bad time to have so much of a headache. I have been stressing a lot lately as well..I need to relax and I think you should too!!

yay 3 months! so close!!!

 

[spacerangerqueen]

Aw I'm sorry you are so stressed Anjanette! As long as you stay positive I think you are right that things will work out right before the wedding. Those feelings don't lie
I bought those pins the weekend they came out! <---- nerd
LOL I love that they have come out with a lot of new wedding stuff recently, Have you seen the Mr. & Mrs. coffee mugs? They look a lot like the pins.

Don't apologize for not being around. There are many more important things in the world than message boards. Though we are very happy to have you around when you have the time!

 

[Pirate's Princess]

Sorry Anj about all the drama!! I hope your cat is ok! I know it can be frustrating that the invites weren't exactly what you want, but most people care about the invites. It's so hard not to obsess over them, but I really think we're the only ones who care. I think they look nice! And the pins are really cute. Happy birthday to Jason!

I love the pins! And yay for our topper then! It is darn pretty cute.

Yay you are back!! I love the pins and your invitations came out great!!!

I'm happy to say that everything is much better now! And thanks much! That pin is just too cute isn't it?? I don't blame you for wanting to add it to your wedding frame. Glad to hear I'm not alone on the pregger BMs! If you made it through your wedding just fine, then I'm sure I have no cause for worry. Hehe.

Thanks hon! The topper and invites have grown on me. I'm not sure if it's because my wedding is getting so close that I've become lazy, or simply don't want to waste any more money. But either way, it's all good! Oh!! And if you're still wanting those FG presents, I found them on the Disney shopping website - here.

Haha, that's awesome you picked up those pins when they came out! Jason and I intended to, but got lazy about it once we saw they weren't limited... And OMG! I saw the coffee mugs once and haven't seen them since! I want them so bad! My parents bought us the photo frame that matches all that stuff too though.

Sorry Anj about all the drama!! I hope your cat is ok! I know it can be frustrating that the invites weren't exactly what you want, but most people care about the invites.

It's all good! Things have to get worse so they can get better, and thankfully they're better now. I do think you're right about the invites. We obsess over them as the bride, but seriously, no one besides us will even remember them. Hehe.

Hi ladies! Stopping by so that I might share some of the more interesting wedding updates as of late.

Firstly though, I'm happy to say that my kitty is healthy and things seem to be calming down around here! DF and I are hashing out all the smaller wedding details one by one. So, it's all at least more relaxed around here. Thank God. Now then, onto the good stuff!

I got my BMs jewelry as their gift here recently. I know it's the cliche gift for BMs, but it's needed and I always thought it was nice. I ordered my girls some custom colored necklace/earring sets from a wonderful lady on Etsy. I figured since I have Swarvoski crystals in all of my jewelry, it'd be nice if they did too. But I wanted them to have colored jewelry to match their dresses. The seller that made them for me, did just that! And she even includes a personalized card that the jewelry comes on.

Here's how my MoH's turned out:

And one of my BM's:

I have to share my bridal shower invites with you guys, because I love them so much! My MOH (who knows I love Alice in Wonderland) kept the theme for the shower AND these invites a secret from me until I got mine in the mail.

Got my garter, finally! Also got my "something blue" taken care of too! They're boyshorts, not granny panties, I swear. Lol!

We also bought some do-it-yourself program kits from Michaels. I have them all designed in Word already, we're just waiting for DF's tax return so we can buy ourselves a printer. They're kind of a fan type of layout. I love them. Here's the sample they included:

Other than all this, our invites go out this week! Yay! And we're anxiously awaiting March 2nd for our tasting. My MOH and I got our candy table pretty well taken care of. Seeing as there's virtually no teal candy, we're doing all purples, blues and white. Jason and I bought some wooden letters to spell "Love is Sweet" out on the table. We're painting them in our colors. Hopefully that will make up for the lack of teal candies. Hehe.

That's about all for now! Much love to you girls!

 

[Boardwalk_bride]

The jewelery for your BM's/MOH is so nice! I am sure they will love it! The shower invites are so nice...lucky you!

 

[Petals & Pixie Dust]

Love the jewelry and the invite. Love it when all the little bits come together!

 

[shippedtosea]

yay! I'm glad your back. I actually went right out and bought the Ariel and Eric one right after you posted that! DF was like....you need these...why?
I really like the BM jewelry, I think its the appropriate gift to give. I am doing the same...got to love etsy. The Bridal shower invite is awesome! I love it. I think the something blue is really cute! and I like the garter (I really should start looking as well) I am doing fan programs as well. can't wait to see how yours turns out
