I'm going to be staying down in Detroit for a couple of days with work, so I won't be around again until this weekend. I just wanted to share a couple of pictures before I leave.

Here are my rings. I really wanted something unique and I think we achived it. For the bands I like the filigree style, but also wanted yellow gold. It was nearly impossible to find a joint band, so we ended up having the jeweler make these thin bands to go inbetween; I really love it so I guess that's the most important thing. The filigree bands look like they have small flowers carved in them.

We still have to take them to get engraved. I think we're just going to do our names and the date. I know some people come up with really clever things, but I'm drawing a blank.

Welcome back I'm sure I will be freaking out the closer I get to my wedding too It's hard to believe that you only have like 1 week left. I just keep reminding myself that no matter what it will all work out okay in the end or at least I hope so

Wow! that's a ring and a half. Very nice!

I was really surprised after we finished with the size. We had to order the filigree bands, so I wasn't sure how much they would add to the setting. I'm normally not one for bigger jewelry.... who knew

Hi are you going to post pictures of your bridesmaides dresses?
I would love to see them!!

It's super nice! and very blingy which is always a good thing

I have to look at home to see if I have one saved. I don't know if you read about my nightmare, but the dress I originally picked out got discontinued the day before my girls went to order. I ended up picking one out without seeing it in person, but I think I saved a picture off the web site. I'll check tonight and will get it posted.

Over the last couple of days, I have been able to get a few more wedding things accomplished. I did get our DFTW knife set engraved (still have to take pics) and I also printed off a bunch of things like the Crossword puzzle which I made online. I’m at work and don’t have a photo of that uploaded yet, but I will add that on tonight. I really enjoyed using the web site and it was so easy to make; I’m going to add it in the folders in the Welcome Bags. http://www.puzzle-maker.com/

Here are the water bottles; we think we have to use the smaller ones for weight. The gift bag style for the regular guests are already getting too heavy and when I put regular size bottles in them I think they might rip.

The label again except I ended up using a different photo; I switched it for one of our engagement pictures from Randy:

I also got Kris’ gifts this weekend. I ended up getting him some cufflinks and a shirt. Ironically he is a guy that will wear cufflinks with suits on a regular basis, so I figured they were a good investment. I got him University of Michigan ones because that’s where we met. I found them online for over $100 and then I went to Ann Arbor where the main campus is located I got them for only $55!

I also had to buy myself something while I was at the school. I already have the Mickey garter set, but I just had to have the U of M one.

The other gift I got Kris is a joke gift. I actually got the idea from the other Vanessa on the board. Kris loves video games and when she bought this for Rich I immediately thought of Kris, so I had to order one too!

What a great idea to use the small water bottles! I used full size and our welcome boxes were busting at the seams!!

I LOVE this t-shirt. DH and I have seen several new grooms wearing them at WDW and we always laugh. We own every game system known to man so I had planned on buying DH one as his joke wedding gift, but never got around to it.

You've done so much Vanessa! I can't believe it's almost time for all the Spring brides to take their walk. Good luck with the rest of your planning, your wedding is going to be fantastic!!

 

[DaPookie]

Oh my gosh! Your little bottles are soooo cute! Did you get them in bulk somewhere?

And I love that t-shirt! it's perfect for my DF too!!!

We decided on the small bottles when I loaded up a sample bag and the bottom almost fell out

It was definitely perfect for Kris because he lovs to play games all the time! I'm really excited for the wedding to finally get here.

I actually bought the bottles from Sam's Club, so I'm hoping the Sam's in Florida will have them too. It was around $5 for a pack of 40.

I heard they have the shirts at Target too, but I ordered mine from www.cafepress.com.

WOOT! Thanks for the tips!!

What size labels did you use to wrap around those?

You are so creative, I can't get over it. I love the crossword idea and the little water bottles are not only cute but a really good idea. The labels are great and I love the school garter!

What size labels did you use to wrap around those?

I don't remember off hand, I'll have to check my file in Photoshop. I just took the regular label off the bottle and measured it then copied that size. I was able to get 3 per regular sheet of paper.

Also, I ordered the Xerox waterproof paper from Staples to use on the labels. They used to carry it in-store, but now you have to order it online. I think it was $13 for a pack of 25 sheets.

Good to know, I didn't know they have waterproof paper. I'll definately have to order that for our water bottles.

Thanks! I will eventually get the crossword posted. I was working on my wedding planning scrapbook (trying to get it done for my shower Feb. 9) and I totally forgot about posting the crossword.

Love the latest projects! Your water bottles are adorable. And T-shirt is so cute.
