It’s been a while. This planning a wedding thing takes up a lot of a girl’s time. On the up side, only 2 months, 4 weeks, and 1 day until our wedding!
Lately, all I have been doing is pushing through my to-do list of DIY things for the wedding. Right now we’re (me and yes, the prospective groom, Kevin) working on getting the invitations cut out and assembled. I designed them myself, printed them on handmade seaside papers, and now we’re trimming them up and attaching them to some sturdy “eggplant” colored cardstock. The invitations should be going on the first week of April.
Next on the list of things to do is to stamp out the “wish jars” on some cardstock. Guests will be asked to leave their wishes, hopes, and advice for us “in” the jars at the reception. I’m really looking forward to what you all will have to say!
Also, I have to find a guestbook I’m happy with. At this point I am thinking about just going to Hobby Lobby and buying the one that matches the flower girl baskets and ring pillow. I was going to go for a more creative idea, but now I’m kinda…eh. Whatev. Let’s get this show on the road.
Here’s a short list of things that I have left to do. I assure you I am forgetting some of them.
- Finish slideshow
- Make more sparkly garland
- Figure out order of ceremony
- Purchase cardstock for wish jars and programs
- Put together program & print
- Get Kevin’s ring engraved
- Purchase gifts for attendants
- Locate & purchase cylinder (tower) vases
- Purchase Mason jars
Whew. I’ll be back later today with some links for you to enjoy after your Sunday afternoon nap. Off to church!

one idea for a guestbook: make your own on blurb! That’s what we did and LOVED it! used a lot of pictures of us with white space on everypage so that people could sign and write whatever they wanted…a bit atraditional but wonderful none-the-less…
We have one of those giant white matte frames with a photo of us in the center that people signed, and it’s still hanging in our bedroom.
I would say the downfall is that people don’t really have room to write what they want. Hence the guestbook. But you’ll probably throw that in some “memory bin” anyway…
What are you engraving Kevin’s ring with?
@Rose – It’s a secret.
Yeah, the frame is just not my style. Not enough room to write. I’m thinking some sort of scrapbook thing (though I personally HATE the idea of scrapbooking), where they just have sheets to sign that we can later assemble in an album.
