Tisk Task Tuesday

Countdown: 95 days!!!!!!!!!!

This past week I did a whole lot of wedding stuff. Joey and his brother who is one of our ushers got fitted for their tuxs on Wednesday nite and then Thursday nite Joey and I had dinner at the resturant we were considering for our rehearsal dinner. The food was really good and the place is very nice. So after our dinner we spoke with the manager to look at the rooms and to see if they had our date available. And they did!!!!!!!!!!

So our rehearsal dinner location is a mexican resturant called Los Cucos and is located off of Westherimer. We have about 40 people in our wedding party alone including parents and grandparents and about 10 more or so of out of town guests that will be invited to the rehearsal dinner. I know thats a lot of people for a rehersal dinner! Because there are so many people we had to find a place that was cheap enough for us to pay for everyone. When pricing around most places were around $18/$19 per person for a buffet style. When we heard the prices at Los Cucos I couldnt believe it! We will be having a fajita buffet for $11.99 per person! I know way cheaper than the other places right! So our rehearsal will take place the nite before the wedding at 5 p.m. and then will head to dinner around 6 p.m.

Now on to the other stuff I did wedding related last week. We purchased our aisle runner, unity candle and a monogram decal for the dance floor! We purchased all of these from Rexcraft. Our next things to do are to order our ceremony programs, wedding favors and place cards. I can't believe we are almost to our 3 month mark and i'm getting a little nervous that im going to forget something. I am also getting anxious as to how everything is going to look when its all put together. Its so hard for me to imagine things and I just hope it all goes together.

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!

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.
