Count me in for Navy and Pink, too. They are a beautiful color combo.

 

[pixiegirl]

I love the pink and navy. The colors look so good together!!

 

[KitKat5]

Great colour combo!

Oh I'm so happy to see you posting again!!! We've missed you so much on here (well I know I have and I am sure a few of your other groupies have too, LOL).

I love the new color scheme and I have to agree with a previous poster that the pics you selected really do a great job of putting the colors together.

I hear ya about the battle of the bulge. I am extremely determined to loose some of the weight I've put on. During the holidays I had a pretty bad cold that I just had no desire to eat, I ended up loosing 5lbs (woo-hoo!). I think the walks around the block will be a good start. Also, I'm not too sure how many lil ones you have with you during the day, but a friend of mine got rid of her baby weight by putting the baby in the stroller and walking the mall in circles. At least you'll be indoors which would be good for the cold weather. Although I imagine it'll take a lot of strength not to go shopping.

We decided our colors are going to be navy, yellow,and silver. I chose the colors and said I was going to stick to them. So far so good. However, over the past couple of months, as I have tried to work with them I have become less and less enchanted with them. Blue and yellow (gold) were the colors of my High School and lets just say being gay in a small town creates a bit of trauma. I also blame my sister, because she mentioned it the first time she saw the colors and she PLANTED the seed. The truth is also I have a passion for pink. I know it is a cliche but I just have a fondness for it and do not shy away. So I have been asking myself why have I been shying away from the pink? Why am I so afraid of it? Anyone who has been invited to the wedding, I think, would be surprised actually at the lack of my favorite color. Today it happened. As I was browsing through an old Martha Stewart Weddings magazine (could I be an even bigger cliche...yes I can) I saw the color combination that I wanted. It is a great use of navy and pink and I am in love, love, love. Now the focus will be primarily the navy but I have no problem adding the pink into shirts, ties, flowers and smaller accents.

I just love the way they look together and I think I can butch it up some, but seriously we are two men getting married if I wanted butch I would be 100% straight So here for your opinion are a couple of pictures.

Let me know what you think.

LOVE the navy and pink! And BTW, the bottom picture of the guys in navy and khakis is one DF saw when I made him sit down with me to try and find something he'd want to wear for the wedding. That's the look he wants.

Less then four months to the wedding. We are a tad behind and just got the save the dates out (bad me). However, people have known for almost a year. I do have to get started on the invitations this week. To get the celebration started my sister has started a Disney World trivia contest for all those invited to the wedding. She has been sending out questions on Tuesday and Saturday through facebook. It is fun....but I am not doing so well. Apparently the winner will be getting a special prize. How much fun is this!

 

[Disney9.9.10]

Glad to see that things are going well again! I love the colour combo!! And it is great that you are going with something you want - it is your day after all! I am so jealous of your Disney trivia contest! I wish that I had that kind of enthusiasm for my wedding lol Good luck with the rest of the trivia, and let us know how the invitations turn out!

 

[smileycrissy]

That is such a cute idea with the Disney trivia. You've got a really great sister.

 

[KitKat5]

I love the Disney trivia idea! What a great way to get everyone excited for the wedding!!

Here is the first mockup of our wedding invitation. Only the design represents us and none of the names. I just love Shelley she is just so awesome to work with. If you look at the Rococo design closely you just might spot a hidden mickey.

 

[Princess Dahlia]

Good start to the invitations. I can't wait to see the final ones. I LOVE the pink!

 

[Pengwend]

Signing on waaay late, but we are getting married in May too! I love your navy and pink colour scheme. We are doing green and magenta, but I nearly switched to navy and pink a couple times in the beginning. Those invites look almost exactly like what we are going to be doing, too! We visited a couple places to look at invite suites, but I felt like I could make them for way le$$. I don't have the design of the actual invite panel and enclosures totally down yet, but I'm pretty close! We're ordering the supplies (paper, pocket folder things) from cardsandpockets(dot)com I think. I actually just ordered paper swatches yesterday!

On another note, I didn't realise how close we are to The Day until I saw your wedding ticker! I can't believe we have less than 5 months... I'm going to have to go into crafting hyperdrive! I am planning to make (read sew up messenger bags) for each room and separate backpacks for each child...

The invitations are cute. I love that it has a side pocket for you to slip all the info/response cards to keep everything neat.

Thanks. It is just a start but I like the direction they are headed. I am glad you like the neat and tidy look of the invitations...because that is the only thing that is neat and tidy in my life.

 

[Groom Mickey]

It is official the Save the Dates are OUT. Just got off the phone with my father and apparently his brother (my uncle) got his invitation today and plans on attending the wedding. I guess there is no turning back now.

 

[smileycrissy]

Yay for sending out the STD's!!!

 

[smileycrissy]

BTW, did you still use the same STD's you had shown earlier in your PJ?

Yes. We did use the same ones posted. Made a slight change in the paper. Was going to use a shimmer paper but used ivory stock due to ink coverage. Shelley from Impressions did a great job with them and they are so cute and fun.

 

[DisneyAngel05]
