Finished the invitations this weekend, it took me and fi all day yesterday and today. so glad it's over, i'm not sure if i'm going to mail them right away or hold on to them for a few weeks.

Wow sounds like you guys all got me beat. All I accomplished this weekend was yelling at FI about his outfit and us finding an AHR hall. I did get myself a new bathing suit though....

We ordered my dress and my daughters dress!!! They should be in by the end of next month. We ordered them from ebay, so we are hoping for a good story to tell. Otherwise, we will order them from a bridal boutique. Like my mom said, for the price it costs to get the dresses from ebay, why not see. By the end of next month, we will still have time to order new ones if we aren't satisfied with them. Keeping our fingers crossed!!!

Amy I did that last week. But i finally got fi to come around and agree to wear long sleeves that he can roll up a little.

Now i have to get all the guys measured so i can order their custom shirts and get all their sizes for linen pants.

I'm home today so i'm going to start working on brochures for the OOT bags and maybe the CDs for the OOT bags.

We had quite the assembly line. I stamped the palm tree, FI poured the embossing powder, and FMIL worked the heat gun. I bought one of those xylon adhesive machines, but didn't buy a backup cartridge so we only got about 32 invitations done before I ran out. I'll need to go an pick up some more to assemble the rest. I printed our return address on clear labels so those have been put on the RSVP envelopes and the back of the main invitation envelope. I still need to print out the address labels for the guests and get stamps for the RSVP cards. I'm hoping to finish them during this week so we can get them in the mail. I will be so happy once they are out and we can start getting some replies.

They sound awesome - do you have any pics?

I forgot to add, we did get 30 songs on our playlist for reception music - now I need about 30 more!

I think they turned out pretty good, but i have to admit fi did most of the work! He had them pretty much designed while i was working during tax season.
