Tisk Task Tuesday

Countdown: 109 days!!!!!!

So this weekend is my bachelorette party and my bridal shower!!!!!!!! I am super excited! For my bachelorette party my best friend and maid of honor has planned a pirate themed party for Friday nite. Ay Ay Captain!

 

We will be dressing up like pirates and going to dinner at Cafe Adobe. Then were off on a treasure hunt then back to my house where the real party begins!

On Sunday, my cousin and matron of honor along with my other bridesmaids have planned a shower for me. It will be held at the community center in Baytown and everything else is a surprise to me. Let me tell you how hard this is for me! I like to be in control of everything and get a little uneasy when I have to depend on other people. I know, Im working on relaxing more and letting things go. So Im looking forward to seeing how it goes and yes of course the gifts!!!!!

Then next week I mail my invitations and make reservations for the rehearsal dinner. Its gonna start getting very busy for me as I only have 3 1/2 mths left.

Ck back next week for pics from this weekends wedding festivities!

Tisk Task Tuesday

Countdown: 123 days!!!!!!

I can't believe there are only 123 days left until our wedding. Time just seems to fly by. This week I finished addressing our envelopes for our invitations and put everything together. They are all finished and stamped and will go in the mail on Jan. 11!!

It seems to get to the point that I dont have that much left to purchase and the stuff I do have to purchase is more expensive. My nieces will be coming down for Christmas so I will try to go purchase their flower girl shoes while I have them here to try them on.

My bachelorette party and bridal shower are in 3 weeks and I am totally excited. You might be asking why so soon so Ill tell you. My best friend and MOH is moving to California to further pursue her acting career in February and will not be able to come back to Houston until the week of the wedding. I can't imagine having either one of these without her and since she is planning the bachelorette party she has to be there. I do not mind at all and think that Im gonna be so busy with everything else from Feb. till April that I really wont have time to enjoy it as much.

This weekend I ordered our wedding invitations!!!!!!! I'm so excited about them! Here is what they say: Because you have shared in our lives by your friendship and love, we (our names) together with our families invite you to share in a celebration of love as we exchange marriage vows.......

We are still in the process of figuring out what we are going to do for the rehearsal dinner. The next week or so I will be going to buy my shoes to wear for the wedding and deciding what hair accessories I'm going to wear. I also need to start going to look at flower girl dresses.

BTW I was told by my Matron of Honor that the bridal shower invites came in!!! I am reserving the room for the bridal shower on Monday and then the invites will go out by the 18th.

Tisk Task Tuesday

Countdown: 193 days!

As you know last week we finalized our wedding party's tuxs! They look fabulous and Im really excited about them. This Saturday the bridesmaids are coming over to get measured for their dresses along with myself for my wedding dress. The lady who is making our dresses is named Ruth and shes coming over to take measurements and pick up all the fabric to get started. I am excited but also a little nervous because I haven't seen any of her work before. I hope she does a great job.

Joeys last midterm is tomorrow and then he can focus all his time with me and the wedding. We have a date on Thursday to look and finalize our invitaions and the wording. The next thing on my to-do list is to go with my foster mom to register at Macy's. My matron of honor is supposed to be ordering the bridal shower invites today and the gift registration cards will go in those invitations.

Check back tomorrow to see which invitations Joey and I will be looking at on Thursday and give me your opinion!

Back to thinking about the wedding now that we are all moved into our house! Last week I received my flower girl baskets and flower petals from the Wedding Outlet and they are beautiful! I met with my bridesmaids a couple of weeks ago to finalize a date for our measurement fitting. We will be getting measured for our dresses on Oct. 17!!!!!!!! We also delegated duties for the bridal shower and my MOH is already getting a great start with picking out the invitations.

This week Joey and I will be going to register for gifts!!!!!!! Im really excited about this and hope that Joey will not totally hate it. LOL Then in the next coming week or so we will be finalizing which invitation we want and the wording! I will also be trying to get the rest of the addresses I need this week.

Stay tuned for more wedding updates!

Tisk Task Tuesday

Countdown: 235 days

Right now is a little slow on the wedding front. The only thing I am doing at the moment is getting ready for a Bridal Party Meeting that is taking place next Saturday. We will be deciding on a date to get measured for our dresses in October and discussing the bridal shower.

I do want to mention that I got a new bridesmaid recently! One of my bridesmaid had something unexpected come up and could no longer be a part of our big day so I got the chance to ask my college friend Katie who had been dying to be in our wedding. She will get to meet everyone else for the first time next week.

Joey and I will be registering for our gifts at the end of this month after we get moved into our house. I have started looking at invitations and ordered some samples. We will need to make a decision by the end of October as they need to be ordered in November. I am also still looking at flower girl baskets.

So just a lot of looking at the moment.
