Alittle under 4 months. Are you freaking out like I am? :eek:

Freaking out does not even begin to describe what I am feeling! Last I checked my to do list was 3 times as long as yours :scared1: I haven't even ordered invitations yet. :headache: :scared: I always thought that since I started planning 2 years in advance I would not be going though thiw boy was I WRONG!

Girl that's ok. Everytime I cross something off my checklist I add 2 more things on. It's horrible. I too started alittle over a year and a half planning things but am still running behind.

Speaking of invites... I finished mine! They came out cute and everyone thinks I had them professionally made. I totally made them all myself. Pics to come tonight.
 

Here's pics of the invites and menu cards as promised!

Now I just have to stamp 'em and send 'em out! Yay! I love them! Only cost me about $50 for 27 of 'em. :banana:

I also bought a 120" cathedral white veil w/ a cut edge for $19.99 on eBay! I had a finger tip length originally but I wanted a certain photo that I can only really get with a cathedral length.

I did my aisle runner!! Yay! I'll post pics when it's dry. :thumbsup2

It came out purdy except DF and I smduged one part of it but it's not too bad. :rolleyes:
 
Oh my gosh you are on a roll! Your invites turned out so awesome!! I can't wait to see that aisle runner popcorn::. I'm going to do one too but just can't find exactly where I want to buy it :confused3. Your ceremony script is really beautiful. I can't believe how fast September is coming!!
 
I bought dress #2 on eBay for $149.99 on eBay but it's in white not ivory! I like it better than the last one. Here's pics:

I love it!

BTW, DFMIL purchased Mickey Mouse MP3 players at $11.99/ea. off eBay and we're going to pre-load it with the WDW Album for favors! I really hope everyone likes them!!

I dyed my crinny. I was suppose to be red but it came out pinkish. I used Rit scarlet, I'll have to try Rit wine tomorrow and see if I get a deeper red color.

I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE that wedding dress. Glad you got it for a good price on ebay :thumbsup2 your menu cards and invitations are so great!
 
OMG! That dress is stunning! It looks like it cost $1499.00, not $149! I love the centerpieces too! I can't believe we're less than 100 days out now! :yay:
 
Hi all. Not much of an update but it's something! I've been looking at jewelry and I think I may get this:

Up close.

My something blue! That's the color of the pendant! :)

earrings.jpg

With matching earrings in the same blue color as above... all for $50 on Etsy. You like?

Now, I'm looking into unique program ideas. I don't want a booklet style or the typical fan, no offense. I found these for inspiration:
idea1.jpg

Instead of that black and white design, I'm thinking Mickey and Minnie scrap booking paper with a ribbon.

idea2.jpg

"The step" look. I've never seen that before!

idea3.jpg

A fan program. The actual program on one side and a word search on the other side with a mini pencil attached to the stick. How fun! Instead of a word search, what about WDW Facts and trivia?

I'm stuck. What do you think? :confused3
