Kim & Joe's April 2010 Wedding

[rebecca_boo]

Aww you guys are such a cute couple! I love the dress and the engagement ring is sooo unique my mom had one like that and I always thought it looked very cool. Good luck with the planning.

Hey just a quick post today. I am about to begin working on my Invitations and wanted to post a "Before" picture!
<<edited, see end for pics>>

So, all of the stuff (after tax) came out to be: Supplies $105, High-quality printer and ink $105, estimated stamps $35.

The large envelope/card will be the reception/dessert party invitation. I will probably use the "happily ever after" stamp on the front of it.

the small envelope/card will be the response card, and I'll probably use the tinkerbell rubber stamp on the front of that

I am going to cut the other card stock in half and make one sheet the ceremony invitation, and the other sheet accomodation/traveling information.
The ceremony invitation will have the see-through layer laying on top, and the gold ribbon with a bow at the top.

Well... you'll see what I mean later...

 

[Tenacious K]

Wow I already finished making my response cards! Here are pics of the front (Tinkerbell) and the inside!
<<edited, see end for pics>>

The response card says
"We look forward to celebrating with you!"
Names:
__ Oh Boy! You Bet! I'll see ya real soon!
__Gosh! I won't be able to make it. Give Mickey my best!

A response by February 15th would sure be swell!

03/15, when I wrote this post in November, I thought I was allergic to my pet, but I was actually suffering from really bad reoccuring viral pink eye.. for the past four months haven't been able to wear contacts.

WOW you've been busy!

Ok... the headpiece i dont know if i'm feeling it. It could just be the way it was photographed but in all honesty i could take it or leave it.... but totally up to you.

The response cards are ADORABLE!
and i might have to hire you to make my invitations, they came out so great!

And that stinks with the allergies.... right around this time of year when the windows close because its too cold out and the heat gets turned on i have the same things happening to me. I've been vacumning up puppy hair everyday to keep the allergies to the minimum! So i feel for ya and i hope you feel better soon!

Thanks girl. I went to the doc today and he told me I have viral pink eye infection!! i was so happy! i guess i continued to reinfect myself over and over the past month. Now i have pink eye though..

 

[Boardwalk_bride]

I'm gonna go against everyone else and say I like the headpiece. I think it will look a lot different once your hair is done, but I think your hair would need volume to make it look smaller, if you know what I mean. Just my opinion anyway!

I really love your invitations and response cards. I am always so jealous of all the creative brides on here

Hi Kim!! I just found your PJ and am all caught up now. I'm also an April 2010 bride. (the 19th to be exact) First, your dress is beautiful and such a deal you got on it! Second, your ring is beautiful. So unique, I love it. Third, I think the headpiece is nice. I agree with Karen and think once you get some volume and curls in your hair, the headpiece will look a little smaller and not overwhelm your head! I like that it's different! Also, your invitations came out wonderful. I love that they are home made. (ours are too) Sorry you have developed allergies. My entire life I never had allergies then about 4 years ago poof... here they are. it's awful when the weather is changing. Well, i'm so glad i found your PJ and wasn't too far behind! Can't wait to read more of your plans

My Dog

What did I ever decide to do with my beautiful sweet hound dog during my trip? Well my friend was so gracious enough to watch her at her own apartment during my trip, and I'm saving some $ by paying her rather than an expensive boarding place. Plus, i'm sure Ellie mae will be SO much more happy.

 

[Boardwalk_bride]

Everything looks amazing. I LOVE your dress! Is that the headband you will be wearing as well? It is coming up so quick, you must be so excited!

And congrats on doing your own alterations. That is something I would never be able to do

 

[Boston Disney Bride]

Everything looks great!! I love your dress!

How long before wedding did you make the initial contact and request for Brevard to do the wedding license? I just mailed in the initial thing just with our names on it, then supposedly they mail something back that we have to have notorized and then they mail the certificate...so when did you make initial contact?

Thanks, woot! I will be wearing that headband. That is my fourth headpiece and I finally found something I liked. It was just from the Icing store.

Everything looks great!! I love your dress!

Well lets see.. I sent in the very first form on February 1st. I got something back from them about 10 days later (about February 11). I resent that form with all the signitures and notary about February 15th. and then they called me later that week because I had did something incorrectly, but it was okay. Then I got the marriage license back that next week (About feb 22nd) so the whole thing was about a 4 week process.
