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 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.

Craziness

Do you ever wonder why people act so crazy during the holidays? I used to until I had children and became a single mom. It can be too much stress and pressure to keep up with the Jones’s as they say. Kids talk to each other in school and adults talk to their friends, and everyone wants to have what everyone else has or better. There is an expectation for the holidays that is almost impossible to achieve in today’s economy. Everything is so expensive that is get harder and harder each year to keep up. I do the best that I can and my kids thankfully understand that. I am grateful to have such understanding kids who do not expect the world handed to them on a silver platter. They are truly grateful for the life that they have.

Tired lately

I have been really tired lately. I don’t know if it is because I have been sleeping too hard or what. I am getting plenty of sleep, but still don’t want to get up in the morning. I haven’t been doing anything different in my life, nothing more strenuous then usual. I just cannot figure out why I am so danged tired all the time. Maybe it is just this time of year. The holidays are always stressful and this year is no exception.

I am going to go see my doctor and get checked out. It is probably like I said, stress, but I want to be sure. I have too much to take care of with the kids and all to fall sick. I will make the appointment when I get off of here.

Beach wedding favors

I have been surfing the web just looking around at different stuff and came across what I think are the neatest Beach wedding favors. Not that I am getting married, but for those of you who are, you might want to check these out. If you are having a beach themed wedding, the wedding favors that you give out will probably be beached themed as well. This site has a lot of different varieties of favors that can be customized or personalized as well. I think the little treasure chests full of shells are too cute. It adds a little bit of a pirate flavor to the beach theme. Your groom and his friends will love that!
