So hubby and I picked a honeymoon. Disney Cruise that sails Jan 7 to Key West, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel.



So excited

Congratulations! And your cruise leaves the day after our wedding.

 

[iluvasoldier]

Thanks. it'll be 4 days after ours. Just enough time to enjoy the wedding and it's night and then go home and try to put away whatever gifts we get.

Yesterday I sent out home-made versions on my invitation to the families my MIL swares wont come (I'd already ordered invitations when she added to the guest list).

I also had two or my girl's order their bridesmaid dresses.

My invitation proof was e-mailed to me and verified along with my response post cards verified so now I've got to wait 2-3 weeks for them to make it to me then I can get those in the mail.

My invitations and response cards are in I LOVE them

Warning, the pictures are big but I wanted to show off the details.

They are from Handykane. She is found on Etsy and has a site of her own.

Here's the link:
http://www.handykaneweddings.com/

All her invites are by theme so I'm sure pretty much everything you could think of is on her site.

Congratulations on your original marriage and to your upcoming one! Seems like waiting the year gives you and df a real chance to enjoy every moment. I love your dress, I'm wearing the same one . I love your newsletter can't wait to see the first one. I may be stealing pieces of it for my second one! Good luck with all the planning.

I love all of your plans so far!!

Your newsletter looks great! Did you just edit Vanessa's newsletters? That's what I'm going to attempt but I'm not sure how you edit a PDF...

Congrats!!

Congrats!!

I first sat down with a piece of computer paper and drew out a template and put little headings of what info I wanted to do and where I wanted to put pictures. Then I (being versed in a graphics program) downloaded InDesign's 30 day trial and created mine.

I'm not sure how to edit a PDF but if you download InDesign it has tutorial's to help you out. If I owned the program I'd offer to make them for you but alas my trial has ended.

There was a Microsoft word template that is probably an easier thing to edit or an easier form to follow. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll do my best to help out

Well, today I am heading to the post office to send out invitations. I'm so excited

Yay! You must be very excited.

 

[iluvasoldier]

I went Wednesday and mailed ALL my invitations. I'm already getting text messages from local guest saying they've received theirs excited.

I'm getting a lil nervous because I had an unplanned surgery which has cut into the budget. Also my dog got sick and we spent $500 trying to figure out what was wrong, so yea there is like $1,000 out of our budget which was already REALLY stretched.

I have only gotten 1 RSVP back (from the list that said they wouldn't come or was my grooms last minute add). Yea, out of 15 only 1 has replied and it's been a month or so. I'm frustrated because if they weren't gonna come I feel like they would have already replied back no. I'm really nervous they'll end up coming.

The more I look at money the more I feel that I'm going to really cut back on a few different things that we really wanted. But I'm trying to just wait for more RSVPs to come in and see what numbers are looking like before I freak too much.

 

[virtuous girl]

Congrats on getting your invites sent out!

I'm so sorry about your surgery and your dog. Hope you're both doing better.

Try not to stress about the budget until the RSVPs come back- easier said than done but who knows what the numbers will be.

Hang in there!!
