PERFECT DAY FOR THE MAILING

[above: THIS IS IT! THEIR GONE!!!]

It was such a relief to get these babies off our hands (finally) and as soon as we pulled away from the mail box I turned to Rick and said... "Wouldn't it be awful if some punk kids decided to through a match in the box and burn up all of the mail?" & he said, "I would KILL them!" & we both laughed & said our guests weren't going to get Save the Dates if that ended up happening!

157 DAYS until OUR WEDDING [August 22, 2009]

Plans

This weekend Rick and I have MANY plans on our WEDDING TO DO LIST!!!

1. Send out the Save The Dates (YES, we still haven't)
2. Purchase Flower Girl dresses
3. Go to CVS and print pictures for my room :)
4. Take Bridesmaid shoes out to my sisters & get paid
5. Go to the bank
6. Go to the camera store
7. Cut Rick's hair
8. Wedding items/ gift research online
9. Work on some DIY Wedding Projects
10. Spend quality time doing something Ricky wants to do. ;)

Hopefully we'll at least get the Save The Dates in the mail TODAY - considering there are less than 6 months until our wedding & before we know if the invitations are going to be going out in the mail.

On that note --- it is 1:45pm & I still haven't gotten out of my PJ's!
I'll update you all at the end of the weekend on our progress on the WEDDING TO DO LIST.

Wedding Cost Estimater

Wedding Cost Estimate
Based on the zip code you entered for 48380 Milford township: Oakland County, MI , the number of guests (200+), and the items selected, the estimated wedding cost is between $53,638 and $89,400.

Save It For Me?

Our Save The Dates took quite a few weekends to make

(yes - MAKE, Rick and I together made EVERY SINGLE ONE!)

Each weekend we did a little here and a little there...

[these pictures are from 07/05/08 the day we began making our save the dates]

... and soon enough we had our finished product:

-Some odd numbers of white, hot pink & black card stock

-120 black and white engagement photos

-3 cutting blades

-One magnet roll

-& at least 10 glue sticks later.

Now, only if we could finish the address labels and get these bad boys off in the mail. <3
