Wedding favors

The Wedding favors will be so cute when we finally get everything picked out. We have chosen a few things, but are not quite finished. The bags will be randomly filled with different stuff, so that people mostly get something different. Only, one item will be the same in all of the bags. It has a more personal touch to it and we are sure that the guests will really love it.

I for see some trading back and forth or bartering, which will make things interesting. I am hoping that the disposable cameras we will put on the tables will catch some of the bartering. I think it will make for humorous pictures and stories.

Wedding invitations

I am back to looking at Wedding invitations. I just can’t seem to let it go. I was not happy with the ones that have been chosen and I am hoping that we might find something better. Planning a wedding is not easy. There is so much that has to be done and half of it hinges on the invitations getting out and the RSVP’s coming back.

We can’t really order anything at all until that happens and if the invitations are sub par, we will not order them either. It is a time consuming hassle. Of course, in the end it is definitely worth it, but takes forever.

Wedding favors

Oh, I got the cutest little Wedding favors at a friends wedding. They were miniature gum ball machines. Of course you don’t have to put only gum balls in them. You can put mints or chocolates in them. The wedding was a fifties style wedding with decorations to match and the gumball machines were the party favors. The kids loved it when I brought one home. It now rests on a table in the living room, filled with peanuts. My littlest guy is always going and getting a peanut. I doubt he will ever grow tired of it.

Well the kids are home

The kids got home from school and of course, there has already been a problem on the bus now that the bus driver is back. I am going to the school first thing in the morning to deal with my son being attacked by another student. I have had enough of this. When I am done at the school, I will be going to the school board to file a complaint. I will bring an end to this problem immediately. I have never had this kind of problems with a school bus driver before. Ugh!

Wedding invitations

The Wedding invitations had to be re ordered. We apparently made a mistake when we gave them the information that was supposed to be on them. As it was our mistake, we will have to pay for new ones, but not all of them. Someone at the printing company noticed the mistake and stopped the printing before half of them were done. They saved a lot of money for the wedding budget by being attentive to their job.

We decided to send a thank you to the employee who is on his toes. We are sending a nice gift basket of cheeses and meats to show our appreciation. It is only the right thing to do.

Wedding decorations cont.

Apparently there were more than a few things we forgot. That is okay though, because I am on it. We were concentrating on the wedding decorations for the reception and totally forgot the church. We have the flowers and such to get for the church as well as the ribbons and greenery that will be on the pews. I have to match her colors to the available ribbons and make a list of what kinds of flowers and such we need.

I also need to call the church and see how long the isle is. With as many weddings as they perform, they should know the length that is needed to loop down the isle. I hope they do or I will have to go and measure with some yarn or something.

Beautiful

I love winter time, especially when it looks like this outside. I know that most people don’t really like snow, but it has never really bothered me.

I think that there is so much fun to be had in it, that I really look forward to it as much as the kids do.

Wedding guest book

Who knew that choosing a wedding guest book could be complicated? I didn’t realize there would be so many to choose from. It was amazing to see all of the different styles and colors and such. There are some really unique ideas for guests to sign out there. You can put out a monogrammed jar and give the guests little cards to sign that they can leave little notes or wishes on.

You can also have a photo mat that can be framed after the wedding is over. Then you just hang it on your wall and can enjoy the memories every day. I think I like the Jar the best though. I can just imagine what some of the notes would say, especially if the guests have been drinking. That alone is hilarious to me.

A cruise

A seven day cruise for the honeymoon is awesome. I can’t tell my friend about it though, because her groom wants it to be a surprise. They will be going through the Caribbean or something like that. I have never been on a cruise before. I have always wanted to go on an Alaskan cruise. Those are definitely cruises for summer time, because of the weather obviously. The Pacific is way too cold and volatile for a winter cruise.

I think I am going to check out cruises for myself. I would really like to go have a little bit of fun sometime. Perhaps my sister and I can take off together and go to Mexico. I hear the cruises to Mexico are some of the absolute best available.

Wedding favors

Perusing more Wedding favors on the net. This is really fun. All women love weddings and love to plan them even more. I am having fun just looking at all of this stuff. The gowns, favors, cakes, invitations, and flowers are so beautiful. It is one of the best parts of being a girl. We dream of our weddings from the time we are just very little girls. We play wedding and plan all of it out in a million different ways as we get older, each year changing with the trends and times. Eventually the time comes to actually plan the real thing and every thing we have ever talked about goes out of our heads and we have to start from scratch. We don’t mind though. We love every minute of it.
