Moon Palace 2012 Brides

Jamie - I don't know how they are doing it. I have 2 weeks left and two projects to complete plus packing!!!

Yet I blame it on the multiple changes of location. If I would have stuck my guns and stayed at my original location, I would be relaxing now! Oh well, it was exciting and after all I gained this site and new 'girlfriends' so no complaints!

TGIF Chicas!!!!

 

I am going to order my paper for my invites today and hopefully get that in sometime next week.  Then I am hoping to put together the invites next weekend (assuming I get the paper in)  I am going to mentally prepare for the long process and with my good friend (red wine) and my MOH aka sister, we should have a good time doing it! 

 

Also, last night, FI and I started our registries.  We went to Crate and Barrel and Bed Bath and Beyond!  We did great at Crate & Barrel, meaning we were all lovey dovey and had so much fun, but at BBB, we started to argue over that simple kitchen ware, he was being so picky!!!  SO FUNNY!  As we were leaving we were like, um...sorry!  HA!!!  This is why I love my FI!!!!

We are officially 3 months away from our big day and I finally got an e-mail from claudia at MP! I have had months to think about what locations we want and now that I can pick, I am clueless!!! AHHHHHH We have less people attending then what we anticaped, we are at 24 guests including us and expecting maybe 6 more.  I am horrible at making decisions and really need some input the fiance is not a good decision maker either! We feel a semi-private dinner is not what we want mainly because we still want it to feel like a reception.

 

So when trying to pick a location for the private reception we want somewhere that is not huge so that way we do not feel so spread out. (make sense? lol)  Any suggestions ladies!!!

Wow, you've gotten a lot done!!!  I'm with you on the super tight budget.  I've found out though that I can still have my dream wedding, I just need to pull out my creativity and innovation like it's my JOB!   (and get lots of ideas from the FI) 

 

What's next?  It seems like you're almost there!

Save the Date magnets--Check, using pic we took from our balcony when we were there in March this year.

 

Photography--Booked, Photos in Cancun

 

Wedding Dress, shoes, jewelry, hair accessories--check, in my possession.  I look awful in this pic, though.  It needs to be pressed when we get down there.

 

*MOH dress and pants for BM--check, still need matching shirt for him.

*FI pants--check, but still  need to order his shirt (Need my bank account to catch up with spending.  Haha!)

*Wedding Rings--shopping for next weekend.

*Decorations for Tables--check

*Cake Topper, serving set, toasting flutes--check

 

*Flights and Room reservations, hair/makeup appointments--Booked

*Wedding Garter--check, Colts theme--FI will love it

*Flower girl baskets and petals--check

*Gifts for MOH/BM--check

*Invitations--check, super cheap.  Found them at Jo Ann's for $4 clearance, Score!

*Wedding favors--check, my BM is screen printing custom koozies for us

 

Soooooooo....that was a lot.  I will refrain from posting that much in the future!  Haha!  I think I'm in pretty good shape.  I feel like I'm forgetting something that I need, though.

BTW, anudrm ---- totally purchased that Friskar's cutter last week.  There was a kit where I got a circle cutter, oval cutter, 2 cutting guides, and a cutting mat for $44 at Michael's --- and with my 40% off coupon, I got it for $28!  BAM!  So excited I wanted to share it with you.  Thanks for the tips on supplies!!!  Can't wait 'til I get to use it on our Do Not Disturb hangers...

YESSS for getting your beautiful invites done soon!!  So psyched for you!  Send me a glass, will ya?

 

Registering took so long for us!  We did Target, BB&B, & Pottery Barn.  He got tired of it all, l think, so when it came to Pottery Barn, he said I could do it by myself.  TOTALLY fine by me because I could go to town on decorating our place!!  He was particular about what he wanted at BB&B too, haha, but it was fun.  But I left thinking..."who needs an automatic flosser??"  HAHA!
