Steph and Rashad SBP 10-08-09- Mr. and Mrs Jackson!!!!

[Wish on a Star]

At first I questioned whether or not I actually needed invitations at all. I know that a lot of Escape brides find that they dont need them. My family and I keep in very close contact and they are the ones who planned the Disney trip in the first place- I just hijacked it with a wedding. lol

But My DFi doesnt talk to his family much, and I havent even met them, so I was worried that they didnt really believe that this wedding was happening and I wanted to make sure people could arrange to have off work or for transportation and travel time and expenses.

I couldnt find any company that sold less than 50 invitations and I found a lot of really expensive ones. So I figured I could use some creativity and make my own. Well I think it was the printer, but they looked kind of sloppy and unprofessional- so I was looking for an alternative.

My sister uses www.vistaprint.com for address labels and other things for work, and when I looked they were very reasonable (starting at 10 invitations for 7.99) . I liked the fact that they were pretty much a blank template and I could add and adjust a lot to make it unique.

Here is how they turned out- sort of there is some detailing that wouldnt copy from the internet. There is a pattern on the invitations that you cant see in these pictures. Hopefully when they come, I will be able to take a photo.

Here is the front:

I was just reading through your PJ - I got engaged the same day as you and my wedding is one day before yours at SBP! Your invites look great - I order from Vista Print all the time and they do a wonderful job!

With my sister and I both being engaged, my parents talked a lot about a photoshoot of the family. So we finally got the pics back. There are some of my family (parents, sister, sisters fiance, me, my fiance and maternal grandparents) I think we are going to end up using one as our engagement announcement photo.

Hey I just found your PJ. I LOVE your dress It looks great. It reminds me of the dress Anne Hathaway wore in Bride Wars. Also echoing that the family picture is really cute. It's nice that your grandparents, parents, and you and your sis were all in it.

Lastly, I see that you have Amy as your coordinator. I did too. She is awesome, you are in good hands

I just read through your pj. You guys are adorable! I thought the pics were awesome. We are also have Jack Day for our DFTW. I am torn because My fiance and I are not religious but my whole family is so while we want to do his civil ceremony I think we might end up doing the religious one for the families sake.

 

[Wish on a Star]

Our Ceremony is at 12, so I was looking all over for something special to do that night. I couldnt walk around like it was just any Thursday. Rashad suggested a special dinner. My dad just booked California Grill so we can watch the fireworks, I am really excited about it and he said it was something called the "Sweetheart Dinner". I am not sure what that is, but I'm excited regardless!

I also decided that I wanted a pretty white dress to wear to that dinner. I am also planning on wearing this to my home reception and maybe even wearing it to the Magic Kingdom and taking a picture in front of the castle!

Here is the dress!
