I could not believe my ears when Tricia told me that she just now started looking for raleigh wedding photographers for her September wedding! I swear sometimes I think that woman has no grasp on reality! Good wedding photographers book up so far out in advance, that to even think that you could get one on such short notice is insane! What was she thinking? Good luck finding one, that’s all I have to say on THAT subject!
Wedding invitations
Well I had to send out a few more wedding invitations. Apparently we received a partial list from her future mother in law and had to add some people. That is really annoying because the invitations went out weeks ago. Fortunately for us we over ordered the invitations just in case of such an occurrence. My girl called me and told me just a little while ago. She said we have to up the numbers for the wedding with the caterer and such. All of those who are being sent invites, have already told her mother in law they will be attending, but will still send the RSVP. At least I don’t have to wait for those to come back in.
Wedding flutes
These wedding flutes are gorgeous. I just love the elegance of them. I am one of those women who has a china cabinet full of china and crystal. The glass part of the cabinet has mostly crystal in it and only a couple of pieces of china. These wedding flutes will look really good in my cabinet. As I am in the bridal party, we ordered enough for all of the brides maids and maid of honor to take a pair home with them. I can’t wait to add them to my collection. I already have a spot all picked out to put them in.
Wine wedding favors
Oh these Wine wedding favors are so cute. They are double heart wine bottle stoppers and I love the way they look. I can’t wait till the wedding to have mine. I know that I could have it now, but I will wait like everyone else. After all, that is part of the fun. The wedding is only a couple of months away and I get more excited as each day passes. You would think it was my wedding as excited as I am. That is how things are when you have a close friend like mine. Our lives have been entwined since we were kids and I couldn’t imagine my life without her. I am certainly happy that I really like her fiance. He has become like a brother to me, just as she is like a sister. I am so happy for them.
Wedding centerpieces
Well the Wedding centerpieces have finally arrived. There is so much stuff that we decided to rent a small storage unit for all of it. The storage place is right around the corner from my house and I can take the stuff there whenever I have to run out. That is part of the reason we decided to do all of the planning from my house. That and my house is bigger than her apartment. The only concern she had was the kids getting into some of it, but I assured her that wouldn’t happen, plus we have to storage unit. That made her feel much better about it. I love her dearly, and I am so happy to be able to help her plan her wedding.
Wedding favors
I think that we have finally narrowed down some of the Wedding favors. It has been a long road already with the planning. We had a few set backs, but are trying to catch up again. Since I am not doing much else today, I will work on re organizing the planning folders. That will not take very long though. I think I should spend some time doing something special with the kids. I am not sure what to do as it is raining off and on. It is very warm out side, but the rain is going to keep us indoors. That really is too bad.
Wedding favor boxes
Wedding favor boxes versus bags. That is the question right now. We have been unable to decide on what ones she wants. We have looked and looked, but unfortunately nothing has really popped out at us saying “this is it!”. So we keep looking and hopefully we will find something she likes soon.
In the mean time, we have picked out a lot of the other stuff. We just cannot order some of it until the boxes versus bags is solved. We have to make sure that everything will fit first. It’s not like it is much really, but we have to be sure.
Wedding guest book
The wedding guest book has arrived. I have put aside certain containers for storage of all the wedding stuff as it comes in and is assembled. The containers all have lids to keep it safe from kids and pets as well. I always keep containers for camping or boating. They always come in handy for other things as well. This time for a wedding.
I have a few things to go over tonight on my lists. I have a ton of lists for so many different things, that I had to start a binder for it all. It has helped immensely to organize it in this manner. Each section is dedicated to what is needed, how many has been ordered and how many come in, etc… Planning is what I do best!
Wedding favor bags
I like the idea of Wedding favor bags. You can fill them up with whatever you want. You can get them personalized, or pick ones with catchy sayings on them. They come in so many shapes and sizes that it can be hard to choose. The linen drawstring bags are one of my favorites. They give a pioneer flair to a table that I really think is cute.
I will show those to my girl and see what she thinks of them. If she does not like them, well there are plenty of others to choose from. We have plenty of time for her to make up her mind about them.
Beach wedding favors
The Beach wedding favors I have seen can make for several different themes. A regular beach theme is can be used, or a Hawaiian theme, or a Pirate theme. Although I haven’t seen anyone with a pirate wedding lately, but it is not out of the realm of possibilities. I know there are plenty of guys who would love that kind of fun theme for a wedding. It is after all very masculine. Right up their ally, so to speak. I probably would’t go that direction myself, but for a woman with a good sense of humor and lots of love for her man, it would be perfect.
