It's been pretty quiet around here lately....just a few updates.
I got my "guest book". I ordered an engravable frame from idoengravables.com. I love it! It's really high quality and I love the idea that we'll have something we can hang on the wall, rather than put away in a box somewhere. It came in a box that will be really easy for me to ship to Orlando.
Andrew and I went to Men's Warehouse Tux today, he picked a really nice tux with a shirt and tie that match the ivory in my dress perfectly. The groomsmen will have a frost blue vest and tie. I was really happy with his choices and that's one more thing off the list!
A while back I bought some white favor boxes that shipped flat. They arrived and were just plain cheap looking junk. I put one together and it was a nightmare, tearing and looking all crooked. I finally found a place that sells favor boxes that are pre-made,
www.weddingfavorstolove.com. They arrived and they are perfect! I'm really happy that I decided to buy them and only .49 each!
We made our final payment for the vacation part of our wedding yesterday. Ouch.
I just got my updated BEO with the cake and floral...$13,994. I had to end my chaivali chair dream and go with chair covers and sashes, but I had expected that. But it's really the only thing I cut. I'm having a hard time swallowing the $400 to sprinkle petals down the aisle at the WP though; at that price they should carpet it all the way to Franck's!
I took my invites to the post office and asked them what the postage should be. I read somewhere that it might be more with the pocketfolds. I'm glad I checked, it is .62 and I only put .44 cent stamps on them. So I had to order another round of personalized stamps from Zazzle.com.
I got news that my brother who lives in Colorado is coming to the wedding! I haven't seen my nieces in nearly 3 years, so that really made my day!
We made our rehearsal dinner reservations at Ohana and made regular dining reservations for the first 9 days of our trip. We finally got reservations at LeCellier for dinner!
I send Randy Chapman a check nearly 3 weeks ago and he hasn't gotten it yet. That really bothers me and I may need to cancel the check and send another. My first check took a while to get to him too, but not this long!!!
I guess it's been just a whole lot of little things. I still need to take my dress in and have a bustle added, write out the vows and make a cd for the ceremony and get my ipod ready for the reception, but I think the major things are done!
I love your colors, your gown, your invites (I wish I could do my own!! Was it terribly difficult? Do you think it's more costly to do your own?), your floral and cake! It's all so so lovely!
