Ohh, congrats on the mugs project and the invites and the engagement shoot!!

I need a swift kick in ths a$$ to get going. I told myself I would make the invites in April, have not even started.

 

I chicken out on the anthropolgie dresses for now. I just was not sold on the green color in person.

I'll prolly get FI to help me either put the monograms on the paper or insert the paper into the mugs. He was really helpful tying ribbon for my homemade soaps lol (he'd die if he knew I told you all he helps me with the wedding DIY projects haha).

Can we see a picture!?? We love pictures!!! Plus where did you get your mugs?

Hey ladies,

 

We're doing our engagement pics this weekend - luckily it's going to be nice outside since we're doing them in a park. Any advice on good colors to wear? We're going to be casual chic (whatever that means) but I don't want us to "match".

 

Other than that, here's what I've gotten done so far:

Picked resort - 50 people booked already!

Chose venue at resort for welcome party, rehearsal dinner and ceremony

Picked and bought dress

Picked jewelry

Picked bridesmaid dress (most have purchased)

Registered for gifts

Sent STD's in January

Ordered invitations and my mom is doing the calligraphy

Chose groom's suit and groomsmen outfits

Purchased several bridesmaid gifts

Picked MOTB gift

Bachelorette/shower scheduled

Had our wedding logo design completed (by a fellow BDW bride!)

 

Need to:

Choose venue at hotel for reception

Choose flowers and cake decor

Purchase groom's and groomsmen attire

Finish bridesmaid gift selection

Buy bridal jewelry

And whatever else is on my reminder list!

Megan I agree I remember when he proposed (1.1.09) we had 11 months and that felt like forever. It also feels like that was just yesterday lol. Ladies these next 6 months are gonna fly by.

 

Erin I will try to take pics tonight. My great great aunt passed away on Sunday (she would have been 99 in June) so I've been with family all week. Her viewing is tonite and funeral tomm morning so I may not get around to it til tomm evening I apologize.

[Erika J]

Ashley I am so sorry, my condolences to you and your family.

 

Megan- I KNOW!! I kinda wishe we could jump in time till August, but then I we would miss the summer and that would be sad. I am so excited to go on vacation and be married. I can barely wait

Ashley - I'm sorry about your Aunt - that is awesome she lived such a long life though

 

I still feel like November is so far away!!
