Oh Daisy!

It's less that I need to up date and more that I need to actually get wedding stuff done! Last night when I got home from school and the gym I feel right to sleep and still had to wake up and write lesson plans. My goal is to get to the craft store sometime this week so that I can pick up the paper and get some signs made! Hang in there with me, only 46 days left!!!

I was shopping with Kaitlin at Target yesterday and saw these awesome inventions that will work perfectly for your dresses! I've seen them a lot on infomercials but have never found it in me to buy them. When we found them at Target I thought that they couldn't be more perfect! They come in a pack of 6 so I thought I would just buy a pack and put one with each of your gifts :) I wanted to let you know though so you can plan for it and not have to buy a razerback bra. If you already have one that you were planning to wear let me know!

9 short weeks to go! By the grace of God everything got completed off the list from last month. This month I have a very short list because I intend on getting ALL of my second work sample finished this month. I think by creating a short wedding list and long school list I will be able to just focus on wedding stuff in the last month (and enjoy my Kinders!)

The entire list this month is paper products that I need to create (an excuse to use my loved cricut!)
Reserved for family- chairs x4
Reserved for family- tables x2
Mr. and Mrs. for sweetheart table
Out of town bag signs and directions
Kids activities (coloring books and crayons)
Photo share cards
Heritage table
Favor table
Rehearsal Dinner Invites

Invites are in the mail!!!!!! Look for yours in your mailbox soon! I will post pictures of the final product when I get home from school tomorrow. I left school at 4:30 today, stopped by the post office, and then drove straight down to Salem for an information session for the Salem-Keizer school district. I am leaving soon to drive back to Forest Grove and then go to bed!


Here they all are ready to go:


This is what the complete package looks like. I can't even begin to count the hours that went into making each individual piece. Especially the beautiful addresses on the envelopes by Ashley!!!

This is a small victory that I was really excited about. I really didn't want to do pocket fold invites because of how overwhelmingly popular they are right now (and expensive!) but I also didn't want the other inserts to be just loosely flying around. Somehow I stumbled upon placing them together like this one day. They resemble the pocket folds but use the RSVP envelope to keep them together. I had to post a picture because I know that by the time they get to everyone they will no longer be this neatly lined up. At least it was a victory for me even though nobody else will get to celebrate with me (or want to because it would seem kinda silly if you weren't in my brain!)

Invites have been the most ongoing process during this entire wedding planning and they are finally ready to go!!!!! This week is going to be spent getting them all put together and hopefully in the mail by Thursday. This is everything that needed to be compiled: The invites, the envelopes, the RSVP cards, the RSVP envelopes, the reception cards, two different kinds of stamps and my computer to watch ABC sitcoms during the entire process. I love that things are really coming together!!!


Don't these look AMAZING?!?!?!?! Ashley is the best BF in the world for spending soo many hours doing these for us. I think they look incredible and can not wait for everyone to see them! We struck up a deal a few months ago that I would scrapbook for her if she did our invites and I KNOW that we are getting the best end of the deal :)
