I missed the 3pm local post office closing time. I took just a touch longer than expected finalizing the website before it’s official announcement gets mailed out.
On those save-the-date envelopes, I am very glad that Paul and I hand wrote them. Now that all is said and done, it feels more personal and meaningful to us. “Traditional” wedding etiquette supposedly calls for such, but the truth is that I couldn’t get any of the three printers in our home to print on those small A2 envelopes. I’d spent almost a day tearing my hair out and pulling out jammed envelopes.
I threw in the suggestion of having a Karaoke wedding as a joke when Paul and I talked about wedding music. Paul immediately posted the following twitter message:
Some friends have taken him seriously, and they’ve picked out songs that they’d love to sing. It’s so awesome that I want to open up the question to everyone.
What song would you sing at our wedding?
Show your enthusiasm, and we may just be crazy enough… ;-)
Paul and I just picked the wedding venue and the date for our wedding. And because it is nine months away, we have the luxury of indulging in many DIY wedding related projects.
I guess I should clarify that it feels like a luxury for me on both the creative freedom and cost savings fronts, and Paul is indulging me with the enthusiastic support and with the actual production efforts. A girl can’t ask for a better fiance. :-)
This is a sneak peak of the first stage of the mass production of the save-the-date notices we will be sending out shortly. We’d finalized the prototype designs of the invitation and the save-the-date cards last week.
In addition, I’m excited to share that I’d just purchased the Bridal Couture: Fine Sewing Techniques for Wedding Gowns and Evening Wear book.
Also in progress is of course… our wedding website.
