Lacey & Keith's 10/24/11 Wishes Wedding! ***honeymoon, day 4...updated 6/18***

[pinkfairy1684]

Morning!

Glad to see an update from you! I think the card box idea is so so cute! Where did you get it? Very quirky idea!

I really love your dress and your BMs shoes! They will look lovely! Your reception dress is beautiful! Very sparkley! Hehe x

Am I getting this right... After your wedding you are going to epcot to do around the world! I think that is a fab idea! I really like your little tick sheet booklet... And the photo of you both on the back. Very sweet!

I'm off to the magical place in 4 more sleeps! Can't wait to get my teeth into some hands on planning! Hehe

Hear from you soon! Mwah

Good morning Faye! I got the cardbox from ebay. I hate "bidding" on stuff because I get so angry when I don't win (haha) so I used this seller's "buy it now" option. Much less stress!

Yes, after our wedding we are going to go drink around the world. I am getting everyone into EPCOT under false pretenses...nobody knows about the dessert party at the end of the night. I am so excited about this! It's kind of fun to be sneaky!

Ohhhh I am so jealous that you get to do an in-person planning session! Make sure you take TONS of pictures so we can all see! I am so excited for you!

Everything sounds fabulous and I LOVE those shoes for your BM's! I'm actually eyeing them up for myself.. if only DF were a few inches taller..

I feel your pain! With my 4 inch wedding heels on, I am taller than DF when he is barefoot...with shoes on, we are the same height.

I am feeling pretty good at the moment, because I just paid off the balances for our photographer and for our Disney honeymoon cruise!!!

 

[KristiLyn]

Such a good feeling! I was so relieved when we starting paying off things!

 

[pinkfairy1684]

Sundays seem to be my most productive days! I got up early, went to Weight Watchers (pleasantly surprised with what the scale read today! ), went grocery shopping, and then stopped at Michaels and Staples. I then spent the rest of the afternoon finishing up some old DIY projects and starting some new ones! I won't keep you all in suspense, so here goes...

I realized that I never posted my save-the-dates or invitations for our Disney Wedding. I have a friend who owns a printing company, and was able to help me get these Disney invitations at cost. I was thrilled (I hope she is thrilled when she gets the edible arrangement I sent to her...)

Save-the-Date

Invitation

We have started to get some of the responses back! Can I just tell you that I get SOOO excited to check the mail everyday!?!?! It's actually pretty ridiculous. Anyhoo, here are the guests that have said YES so far!!!

One of our groomsmen (who happens to be one of my bf's) is designing custom save-the-dates and invitations for our at-home reception. I will be sure to post pictures when he finishes...

Speaking of our at-home reception, I finally decided to make a cardbox instead of buying one from online. I am not completely thrilled with my crafting, but it sure beats spending $75 on the box I have had my eyes on...

The little dots are actually rhinestones, but it's hard to tell in the picture. All in all, this box cost me about $15. Not bad, if I do say so myself!

Instead of having a guestbook at the at-home reception, we are having our guests sign wine bottles. I am not sure if I mentioned, but our reception will take place in a wine bar, so this is perfect! The sign is there to explain to our guests what they should do with the markers, and the labels will be attached to four different bottles of wine (with our 1st, 5th, 10th, and 15th anniversary dates on them!).

I feel like this is the longest post in history, so I am actually going to break it up into two...see what I get for waiting so long???

Okie dokie, so let's get back to the Disney wedding!!! I have made tears of joy packets for each of the guests to use during the ceremony. DF was so cute and said that the packets are so pretty nobody will want to use them (don't you just love him? )

Speaking of DF, I got him these little beauties for the day of the ceremony. If I haven't mentioned it before, I am in LOVE with Etsy. LOVE LOVE LOVE!

Poor DF...he has been suckered into wearing not one, not two, but 3 different honeymoon shirts in the parks and/or on the cruise!! I made 2 sets of shirts from zazzle (haven't gotten them in yet) and ordered these from Disney...

Instead of having welcome bags (my planner actually talked me out of it!) I am going to put together folders with some cutesy little things inside. I loved the idea of door hangers, so today I made 24 of them!

And what good would our honeymoon suite be without our own little door hanger?

Well ladies and gents, I am EXHAUSTED (from crafting AND posting). Now to open a bottle of wine and enjoy the last few hours of the weekend with DF!

 

[Mindyjoy]

I love all your DIY stuff! So creative and it all looks great! I love the door hangers, so cute!

 

[KristiLyn]

Wow you had a very busy day!! Everything looks wonderful!! When you get the zazzle shirts in can you post a pic? I'd love to see!

 

[Sccrmnky2005]

Love all your finished projects!! I love seeing other's wonderful DIY projects!! Can't wait to see more

 

[Princess SarahK]

LACEY!!!! I am obsessed with your invitations!! They look awesome! If DF wasnt so against fru-fru I would have to call your friend and pay her big bucks to make me some of those! They are GORGEOUS!!! I love them! Everything else youve done is awesome too! I love your tears of joy packs, adorable! Everything looks amazing! YAAAYY FOR YOU!

I may have passed the answer to this already but how many people are you expecting? Its going to be gorgeous!

I made my DH the socks for him to wear to the ceremony..they are so cute.

 

[Nichole33]

Great projects!! I wish I could get that motivated to get some stuff done!!

 

[DoomBuggy0922]

Those are great! I LOVE the door hangers... how did you make them, if you don't mind me asking???

 

[pinkfairy1684]

Thanks for all of those kind words, ladies! It made me smile!

I love all your DIY stuff! So creative and it all looks great! I love the door hangers, so cute!

Thank you!

Wow you had a very busy day!! Everything looks wonderful!! When you get the zazzle shirts in can you post a pic? I'd love to see!

Yes! I will absolutely post pictures! I was disappointed when I came home from work and they weren't here...oh well...at least I have something to look forward to!

Love all your finished projects!! I love seeing other's wonderful DIY projects!! Can't wait to see more

Thanks so much! You know, I didn't really get into all of this DIY stuff until I joined the boards. But seeing all of the other wonderful stuff from other brides, I caught the bug!!! I wonder how much free time I would have if it weren't for my obsession with the disboards...

LACEY!!!! I am obsessed with your invitations!! They look awesome! If DF wasnt so against fru-fru I would have to call your friend and pay her big bucks to make me some of those! They are GORGEOUS!!!

Thank you Sarah! You are so sweet! You are so nice to take your DF's feelings into consideration when you chose your invites...I didn't! haha He once told me that the proposal was the one thing the guy gets to do...and after that everything related to the wedding is up to the bride. I am kind of glad he feels that way!

We are expecting about 40 guests!

I made my DH the socks for him to wear to the ceremony..they are so cute.

Awww you did a really great job making the socks for your DH! Did he keep them on all day???

Great projects!! I wish I could get that motivated to get some stuff done!!

I don't know what came over me yesterday?!?! I literally spent the entire day upstairs in our office doing projects and crafts. It looks like a bomb exploded in here...

Those are great! I LOVE the door hangers... how did you make them, if you don't mind me asking???

Thank you so much! I made the doorhangers using MS Word. I printed them on some pretty thick cardstock, then cut them out with my paper cutter. I was going to use a punch for the centers, but I actually bought the wrong one at Michaels. I was too lazy to go back, so I did them all by hand! Ouch! If you would like me to email you the template I used, send me a PM with your email address!

 

[pinkfairy1684]

So I had a pretty amusing conversation with my mother today while I was driving home from work. It went something like this:
Mom: Have people started to RSVP for the wedding?
Me: Yup. I have gotten 7 or 8 back so far.
Mom: Oh that's nice!
Me: Did you mail yours yet?
Mom: Oh!? I didn't know I had to! You know that we are coming!
Me: Mom, I spent a lot of money on those invitations and postage. PLEASE humor me and send back the response card.

I don't get it!!!!! Hahahaha

 

[Disney9.9.10]

I love your invites! They are gorgeous

I had a bunch of the groomsmen (my brother and DF's brother) say the same thing! And I said the same thing as you and added "plus I need to know what your menu choice is!!"
