Missing In Wedding Action

Hi everyone! I am very apologetic that I have been missing around here! We had our church revival all last week and it was late every night when I got in. I woke up last Friday morning with sinus issues and have been down and out with that until my meds really started working yesterday. I have made a pretty good little bit of progress along the lines of wedding planning progress, and we also have TONS of action along the lines of house progress. FI and his dad have really been working on the house the last couple of weeks. We did find an issue in the one room of the house we had planned to remodel after we moved in so we are now remodeling every room/aspect of the house. I'm very excited for everything to be finished so I can show you before and after pictures!

On the wedding front:
~ I finally paid of my wedding bands (first post about them can be found
here)! Good pictures to come when I can get a good picture of them.

~ I completed the printing on the back of the majority of our RSVP postcards (I'm waiting on a second batch of 100 to arrive from Vistaprint).

~ The brown paper that Hobby Lobby had to special order for me came in and I finished cutting all of those earlier this week. I get the rest of the invites assembled.
~ My sister and I found the coolest decorating idea for the fellowship hall windows! I'm anxious for the tulle I ordered from
CODWholesale to arrive so we can experiment with these!!! We plan to use fishing wire to hang 4-6 individual tulle poofs at varying lengths from the tulle covered curtain rods.


~ We also nailed down how we're going to decorate the pews at the ceremony!



The Sanctuary we're getting married in looks almost IDENTICAL to the one in the above picture. I love the lights in the tulle and will probably go with that look!



On the house front:

Since we're having to fix the bathroom now as well (this was unintended; we planned to wait and build on to the back of the house where the bathroom is when we started a family, but we found a few things and decided it was best to go ahead and tackle this project now as well). I made a quick little layout of the the house for it's before and after layout:

So Close I Can Taste It...

I am so close to being finished with assembling these invitations! I have about 60 more to assemble and I can get that done pretty quickly if Hobby Lobby would call me back letting me know if they have my paper in yet. ::Sigh:: I can't wait to be finished with them and get them in the mail, out of my sight & reach. They have been a labor of love! I hope to get my RSVP Postcards from Vistaprint this week so I can start printing the backs of them. Then I'll be printing envelopes, lining the envelopes, then stuffing them. Oh yes...it's so close I can taste it!

Final RSVP Postcard Template

I made myself finish the layout that I'm planning to use for my RSVP Postcards Tuesday night. I'm very excited with how they turned out. I'm planning on having the postcards printed through Vistaprint (front side printed, blank backside). I have tested printing on postcards from Vistaprint with my printer and it works perfect, so I can easily print the back side at home.

I'll be placing my template in my planning bio (here) if you would like to use it.

Photoshare Cards & Mad Libs

So, many weeks ago I received my Mad Lib cards as well as the Photoshare cards that I ordered from VistaPrint. They turned out just as I had imagined they would, PERFECT! :) I've had these for weeks and still haven't managed to take pictures of them so I found them this morning in my wedding planning bag and decided to snap a few camera phone photos of them.

RSVP's

I designed the front of the RSVP postcard last evening. I'm pleased with the way it turned out. I used Scrapblog (www.Scrapblog.com)for the background and pulled the jpeg into Publisher to add the finishing touches. What do you think?



The back hasn't been designed yet as I was going to personalize each RSVP so guests will know exactly who is invited. I'm thinking I'll just order the postcards with a blank back from Vistaprint and print the back myself. We'll see!
