Our invites started out with a standard pocket fold, and we have stuck with it. Lately the sheer cost of a wedding has been a stress for me so I sat down to figure out how I could keep the pocket fold I wanted and not end up with a invite that cost more than [...]

Check out these shower invites that were posted on weddingbee today! I wonder if I can talk my sis into using these as my shower invites, and how hard it would be to change the color to something other than pink…which is really not a fave color for me. Click on the pic to go [...]

This past Sunday the boy and I headed to the nearest Bed, Bath and Beyond to start the registry process. After waiting to the registry lady and the spiel she gives we were handed the fun little gun. After a few trial and error scans on the part of The Boy we were off. Honestly [...]
Bouquet wraps for my ladies…

Not too long ago I saw a picture of some lovely bouquet wraps that were embroidered with the maid’s name and a little flower. I can’t find the picture now, and for the life of me I didn’t save it, not sure why. Before I saw that picture a saw one that had a beaded [...]

Since our save the dates are going out in the next month we had to get cracking on the wedsite. We had planned to use one from Wedding Wire, but then I decided that it was too stiff, so I made one using google sites and a .info domain name that I bought for a [...]
Feeling out of sorts….

The Boy’s Grandmother passed away yesterday afternoon. She was a wonderful Chicago born Italian lady who still wanted her glass of wine at a party and would cuss you out rather fiercely if you denied her it. She was 86 and had been in and out of the hospital for most of the last year. [...]

So tonight after work I thought I would do a test of the chiffon overlay. Since I was home alone it was a good time to concentrate with out The Boy asking me a billion questions or watching my every move. So how did it turn out you ask…well EPIC FAIL. Not even close to [...]

Paper trail: Save the dates…
Posted in DIY, Invitations, Paper products, Wedding on September 13, 2009 | 4 Comments »
This past couple of weeks I have been working on save the dates. We had been planning to print off a 5 x 7 card on our printer and use the same cardstock that we are using for the invites. I have a ton of envelopes that fit that size and we could just use [...]
