A "LOL" Moment
So, as you all are well aware of, I received our wedding invitations in the mail yesterday.  This is when I realized that in addition to handwriting every guest’s name and address, I will have to handwrite our return address on the back flap since they were not pre-printed.  That’s just too much cursive for me, so I decided to order a self inking stamp from Bear Rubber Stamps on Etsy: ...

Invitations!
Our invitations are being delivered today!  So very excited for these!  I can’t wait to see them.  We ordered them from a woman in California, so all proofing was done via e-mail.  Which makes me a tad bit nervous, but I picked her because the projects she showcases on her blog are out of this world amazing! Plus, she had damask invitations before they were everywhere, I guess I’m just...

Nightmare!
I had the worst wedding-related nightmare last night!  It seemed so real which made it worse, but in my dream I had forgotten to make a hair appointment!  Not only for me, but for everyone!  I was frantically calling every salon in Blacksburg asking if they had time to squeeze in 12 people…of course no one did…and then I woke up.  I wonder how my hair looked when I walked down the...

And I'm back...
Sorry for the lack of posts (to all 2 readers out there).  There hasn’t been much happening lately in the wedding planning world.  Just looking at options for some of the ‘big things’ we’ve yet to book. Anyway, Eric is supposed to buy stamps tonight so we can send out the save the dates tomorrow!  Keep an eye on your mailbox!  I can’t wait to smile at you from your...

DJ: Booked!
I’m moving along quite nicely here!  I got a lovely “Do Not Play - Under ANY Circumstances” list from Lindsay and Andy, Eric’s cousin & her husband.  Their wedding was awesome so I’ll take any advice I can get!

Wedding Day Transportation
Who knew this would be one of the most difficult things to coordinate? Since we have a large number of people, we’ll likely have to settle for a shuttle bus to take wedding party peeps from The Inn to the chapel, then around for pictures post-ceremony, and back to The Inn for cocktail hour/reception.  That is fine, though.  We don’t need to be riding in style. But then we’ll...

I’ve been following this girl’s blog and she’s so creative!  She takes otherwise plain things and spruces them up with ribbon and decorations to go along with her wedding colors.  I’ve also been exposed to a ton of other blogs with fun DIY projects and cute ideas!  Check her out!

Wedding Favors
Screw them!  They have the potential to be really cheesy and a waste of money because most people either don’t take them or wind up throwing them out.  I like the idea of candy/cookie bars much better!  Who could complain about sweets?!

Wedding Dress Shopping!
On Saturday my mom and Mrs. Panian (Eric’s mom) are coming down and going wedding dress shopping with me!  We’re going to 2 places - 1 down the road from our apartment (Roslin’s), that was recommended to me by my friend Regina and one up the road from my work (P. Lawrence).  They both have gotten great reviews on Yelp and that means a lot.  I don’t want to be giving...
