that would have been super tragic.

I've actually seen a wedding invitation written in Korean - it was by Designer's Fine Press - but I believe the couple had a family member write it out and then designer's fine press was able to copy it...you could call a few stationary stores nearby and see if they have any way of helping you out...I think that would be really sweet if you find a way to make it work!

Does anyone have the menu for the buffet? Our guest number is really getting close to forty and I've been told that your only option is the buffet if you have more than 40.

No way, are you serious?? I didn't know that. We definitely wanted a sit-down dinner and when we gave our initial numbers to Ana she never indicated that if we had more than 40, we would have to do buffet instead :-s Hope thats not the case.

Off to spend a couple more hours looking at decorations... ha ha!

Boo is this the one you went with instead

3-Piece Miniature Wedding Sand Ceremony Vase Set

And they have a stopper for the top of them after you pour the sand in? Does the picture frame have a stopper thing too?

Never heard of the nautilus shell's for the parents. How does that work out?

You are doing such a good job of planning everything your wedding is going to amazing. I hope you FI knows how hard you are working on it.

I am ready for this wedding and searching for decorations and everything wedding related to be over!! lol
