Making a list, checking it twice....

Boy what a busy week!! For so long it felt like there was nothing that could be done planning wise, but boy does it hit you when it comes! This has been a very productive week and I am very happy to say the items just keep getting crossed off the list, which makes me sleep better at night! I think last night I actually scared James (oops), I was just a little stressed... :-) Luckily today we were able to complete some items and get others very close to finished.

Today we...designed table names, designed rehearsal dinner invitations, worked on the programs (almost done, just minor details left!!) and worked on the seating chart (this is ever changing, and I'm sure will until the week of...haha)

Here is a sneak peak of the rehearsal dinner invites...
You will have to wait to see the table names until the big day...those are James' pride and joy and are top secret. :-)

The bridesmaids also received their invitations today for the luncheon. I am pretty excited about having tea with everyone; Now I just have to find a nice hat to match my dress! :-)

I plan on Friday to go to my final dress fitting and to begin my search for the perfect tea hat. I still have to finish flower purchases, buy scoops for the candy bar, work on itineraries, and a few other things but it is all coming together.

Until tomorrow, good night wedding world....

Wedding Cake Sample and more...

Today we received our sample wedding cake for tasting; the boys absolutely loved it! Whew! We were worried because our cake lady really wanted us to use fondant but we are not fans of fondant at all. Luckily her version of fondant is made with white chocolate so it is not as chewy as regular fondant. James is impressed with the strawberry filling we chose, and Christian just loves it all! :-) (Boys are so easy! LOL)

This week we have been crossing off as much as we can from the to do list that never ends!
*Mom so sweetly finished up the candy purchases for the candy bar.
*I found the cutest "take out" containers ever (on sale!!)for the guests to scoop their candy favors into.
*We picked out frames to use for the table names, which James is ecstatic about (hint, hint...it's all about sports!) so we will work on the design for the frame names this coming week.
*Invites for the Bridesmaids luncheon are all sent out.
*Rehearsal is set
*Found earrings for the big day! (this has been a challenge!)

We are still working on finding someone to help with our hair ordeal, but hopefully we can work that out this week as well as finish the programs, the day of itineraries and detailed directions for our out-of-towners, among many other things.

As for today, it's a great day. Off to the pool to work on our family wedding pre-tan. :-)

35 days to go!!!!!

Bridesmaid's Dresses

All I can say is I pray no one needs alterations!!! After 3 changes in the shipping date the dresses have yet to be shipped.... with only 37 days until go time I am a little worried, but I have faith...LOL Everything will be just fine. (I will just keep telling myself that!)

I also haven't had my final dress fitting and my hair appointment was a mess!! So... Lots to do and only 37 days to do it in. Wish me luck! :-)
