Much needed update.....PICS

OY!! I have been soo busy, living, breathing, eating WEDDING!!! Accckk!!! It's almost here (12 days) and we absolutely cannot wait!!! WOOHOO!!! Just to let you in on some progress we have made, i'm posting pics. That's pretty much what this whole post will be!! ENJOY!!


These are our hershey miniatures wrappers that I designed. We printed them on the paper that we used for our Save the Dates. It was kinda tedious, but we really like them!! I couldn't get a good shot of it, but on the other side where the ends of paper meet, it says "Est. 2-28-09"
Our "I DO" letters obviously. These were pretty easy. I painted the sides chocolate brown and then painted the tops our red color. FI went back over them and dry brushed them with the brown. I love how they turned out and I'm kinda thinking about adding some of the pearls we used from our cake topper, but not sure. We'll see! Our invites. These babies certainly were a labor of love, but we've gotten soo many compliments on them!! I did print them one at a time, because I was worried about something happening. It probably took longer than usual, but oh well. The hardest part was printing out the address labels. I don't know if it was our
printer or what, but they were giving me soo much trouble!! But overall, I love how they came out and loved our invites!!

Our napkins!!! At first we weren't going to do the personalized napkins, but then they kept going on sale, so we gave in! We only ordered 100, and we are going to get brown napkins and mix them together. These will be for the two cake tables. Our bell ringer bell (old school teacher bell)
Flower Girl baskets! Got these for a steal at Hobby Lobby during their infamous 50% off wedding stuff sale!! We have 4 flower girls, so we got lucky finding 4 that match! These are the bags that will be for our kids table at the reception!! We just got regulary brown plain gift bags. I designed a lable to go on them. We are putting in the bag: pb&J sammy (cut into a heart), goldfish, gummy snak things, crayons, a personalized coloring book and a little toy.
Our Programs!! These turned out to be pretty easy to design, the only tedious task of it was putting them together!! I just downloaded a skinny program template from www.gartnerstudios.com and used it to help me format my program. We ordered Stardream Metallic Paper in Mars from Anchor Paper (100 sheets for $25, and they send you the scraps with too which we are going to use for another project). My dad fixed our hole punch to do two holes close to each other. My mom cut out the individual pages and then I went back and trimmed them. Then we did the bow type thing (not an actual bow tie). We really like how they turned out and how they incorporate all of our colors.

Bags I got for my BM's and also for all the people helping us out too!!! They were cheap, came in quick and I really like them!!! Ebay seller, trotter06. They will also have in the bags, their pearl necklace, bracelet and earrings for the wedding, a manicure set, a heart shaped keychain, and personalized notepad and pen,
and some bath and body stuff! I hope they like it!
Our candy buffet containers. Just a mix of stuff, I didn't care what they looked like, we need one more though!!
Our bags for the candy buffet!! I love our stickers!! =) Our Cake toppers!!! We ordered our cake toppers from Crafty Eddy and we got the "S" in 5 in. and the "M" and "B" in 3 in. We painted them in pearl ivory (which you can't really see the pearl anyways, lol) and then we used flat back off white pearls (3mm, http://www.dreamtimecreations.com/) and then 3mm crystals and glued each and every single one on there. This has been the most tedious task, i think more so than the invites, but we did them and we love them!!!




Our 160 packets of bird seed. This didn't take us long to do, i just dread getting smacked in the face with tons of sunflower seeds and having to pick that crap outta my hair for weeks on end. This was FI's idea, and I swear if I hear him complain about it, he's gonna get it!!! hehe =)
Our glass cake cutter. It's a Dur-X fruit and cake knife. These were made between the 1920-1940's. People used them mainly to cut acidic fruits, and the acids from the fruits wouldn't stain the knife. My mom is nervous about this being glass and that it'll get broke or something but I just have to reassure her that thats not going to happen!!!
Our wedding mess at my parents house!!!! I know my mom is sick of seeing all of this crap!! hehe
