Just a few thoughts from a simple girl as I try to plan a wedding amidst the craziness of my life...

About Me

I am 25 year old getting ready for our nuptials on May 01, 2010. I am currently a graduate student majoring in Occupational Therapy. I love to write and I love weddings (well I used to). I thought it would be a great way to blend a few of my loves into a blog. Sit back and enjoy while I attempt to juggle planning a wedding on a budget while doing schoolwork. So let the madness begin!!

Wedding Invites

So...the clock is ticking on our wedding planning. It is coming quick! Just a few updates, the graphic designer is finally finished with my invites so I sent her all the wording that I wanted. I was glad to see my FH involved in that process. He had a great phrase to put on the invitations. Now I just have to finish...err start the programs, directions from church to reception, and of course physically go to New York and SNATCH my parents' guest list from them. I have to baby them through this process because they are being so difficult. They've been working on this list for months and still refuse to stick to the guest count my fiance and I decided. No more Mrs. Nice Bride. its time for Bridezilla to rear her ugly head.

I almost forgot; we finally booked our church! If you didn't know, we lost our previous church when we moved the wedding from New York to New Jersey. Read all about it here.

I'm really excited to have my invitations come so I can start addressing them. That sounds like an excuse for a party me. My goal is to sent them out by March 5th, 8 weeks before the wedding. I have a few invites that are out of the country so we''ll deal with those first of course.
Here are a few invitations that I personally loved and sent to my graphic designer for inspiration. All courtesy of Theknot.com of course! We definitely included a floral motif in our invitations and I plan to add some ribbon myself to each invite. Hence my DIY project...lol...baby step, people!
