Four Months To Go!

Great news!
I discovered a way to share every blog post with you! If you want to be removed from this update listing, please say so. I won't cry, I promise. If you want to be added, send me your email address!


Good Evening!
Today marks the four months (exactly) to go and things are coming along.
I've ordered the suspenders from The Suspender Factory in San Francisco. Susan was amazingly helpful and informative. I definitely tested her patience. We ended up ordering custom suspenders that look much like these Windsor (fitting name, huh?) in the dark brown with Y-backs!

The maid of honor has found her dress!
pretty, isn't it?

Also the flower girl's dress has been ordered.
totally cute, huh?

That leaves the darker green colors and the sage to fill. A note to anyone planning on ordering a dress. Do it now! Some designers take up to three months to fill your order. That's September!!!

I found a printer to print my custom designed invitations!
Dawn was extremely nice and helpful and even offered to help me learn Illustrator! Plus the price was oh so right at just under $200. What do those online invitation companies charge so much for anyways?


Now if Jason could just remember to call the jeweler so we could go order our rings. I think I'm going to pick one that looks like this.
J will most likely pick out a plain rounded band and we might get a Titanium one because of all the chemicals he has his hands in all day long. But last time we went, he was having a rough time deciding...so...we'll see!


We've also got to go to the men's store to pick out J's attire.
I am still crushing on the Sean John brown pinstripe...

A visit to the Bead Shop is on the schedule.

ATL Shower is being tentatively planned for August 21st at Bill & Lee's fantastic Decatur house.
NOLA shower is planned for September 18th at Rock N' Bowl!

A special prayer for my Pop, who is fixin' to get a new hip!
Rainbows, marshmallows, kittens, and super-fast healing to you!

Working on an activity book for the children to occupy themselves with at the wedding.
Vintage clip art has been extremely helpful in this endeavor.

Jeanne has found some amazing serving pieces for our dessert buffet!
Amazing Salvation Army finds!

Also working on Welcome Bags for Out of Town Guests. Would love to use a canvas or even woven tote bag but that might not be in the budget. Paper wouldn't be so bad, I guess.

Next time: Dominoes, Checkers, Tricky Triangle (cracker barrel) games, oh and did I mention the voodoo station yet? I will!
Much more to come.
Stay tuned.
