Tisk Task Tuesday

Countdown: 137 days!!!

I have started to address our outer envelopes for the wedding invitations. Since I couldnt afford a calligapher and I thought labels looked a bit stupid, I have hand addressed them. First let me say that my handwritting is not the best. I bought a metallic silver sharpe and I think it looks ok on the blue envelopes. Its nothing really fancy but I seriously doubt anyone cares what the outer envelope looks like. Last night I stuffed them with the invitations and tomorrow I will be buying stamps for the reply cards and the outer envelopes.

That is really all Im working on this week. Next week I will be going to look at some rehersal dinner locations.

Tisk-Task Tuesday

Countdown: 144 days!

So I feel like there isnt a whole lot going on right now on the wedding front but I know thats not entirely true. My wedding shoes came in and last week I ordered my hair accessory. I chose the pearl headband. Like I said before I am not a big fan of veils so I will not be wearing one.

My wedding invitations will be going out next month so this month I will be working on addressing them and buying stamps. The biggest thing Im working on right now which Im having some difficulty is deciding what to do for my rehersal dinner. We have a very large wedding party so including their families for the dinner we have a count of 49 people. If we use proper ettiquette and invite our out of town guests we have 65 people. That is a lot of people to pay for just for a rehersal dinner. I have recieved quotes from a mexican and italian resturant here in Houston and both are over $1,300 for just food and sodas.

We can not do something at our house because it is too far from the wedding location. I would like to have a final decision by the end of this week so I will let yall know what I decide. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.

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: 186 days

This past weekend the bridesmaids and I got measured for our dresses. Its kind of a scary thing because from that point on we can't gain ANY weight!!!!!!!!! We can only stay the same or loose it. That is a stressful thing in itself. We will have our first fitting sometime in January or February. I have also picked out the shoes that the bridesmaids will be wearing and I have to say they are pretty cute. Check back tomorrow to see what they look like.

The bridal shower invitations have been ordered and I have already made the address lables for them. My foster mom and I have set a date to go register for some gifts at Macys on November 8.

The next couple of weeks I will be thinking about the rehearsal dinner, the flower girl dresses and ordering the wedding invitations.

Wedding Invitations

Drum Roll please............

We have chosen the following invitation for our wedding invitations!!!!!




So now I can tell you that this one was my absoulte favorite and the 2nd one from yesterdays post was my second favorite. Last night I made Joey look at all of them and I didnt tell him which ones I liked the best. It was so funny because he too picked the ones I liked the most. The decision was made because he said the 2nd one from yesterdays post was too plain on the inside.

Then this morning after reading which one everyone liked the most, and most of you picked the 2nd one from yesterdays post, I started second guessing myself. But I have to believe that there is a reason why both Joey & I picked the same one. I ordered a sample yesterday so hopefully when it comes in its everything we wanted! The invitation is from Invitations by Morgan.
