Wedding Planning is crazy stuff!

Hello, world! We haven't really made anything lately 'cause all our time and money has been going to planning our wedding which is coming up really fast. The end of April! So much to do before then, ahhh!!!

I figured, just because we're consumed by this wedding planning stuff, doesn't mean we should COMPLETELY neglect our blog! So I'm gonna start updating more regularly, only, pretty much ALL of my posts from now until mid-May are going to be wedding related, most likely. After that, we should be back on track. Working on music & fixing up our bikes and possibly maybe finding a new place to live - this place was HUGE when we didn't have any furniture, haha. Now it's starting to feel a little cramped :/

Anyway, onto wedding stuff!

I made invitations to send out to the people that haven't RSVP'd already, and people that we don't keep in contact with regularly enough to relay all those important tidbits of information to, like what TIME it's at! haha. I had almost forgotten. So anyway, with the invitations, I repeated elements that were in the save the dates I made a few months ago, and I really wanted them to be shaped like Washington. They were printed on cardstock, scored, folded & hand-cut by yours truly. What a pain in the neck!

Do you like my fancy blur-out-the-detail skills? I just get paranoid sometimes, is all! haha. Now I just have to remember to drop them in the mailbox tomorrow. Such a small step, but so crucial! I wish I wasn't so horrible at putting things in the mailbox, haha.

More wedding planning junk to follow soon,

Overwhelmed with Save-the-Dates

We finally got our save-the-date postcards back! I sent the design out a few weeks ago, to be printed, but our frugality drove the decision to go with the cheapest shipping, so we just got them a few days ago. They turned out pretty well, for the price!

So, yes. This is the save-the-date I designed, with crucial information blurred, for the sake of privacy (and surprise, for the people gettin' one!):

We have been gathering addresses and filling out save-the-dates all weekend. It is a little on the overwhelming side. We just need a few more addresses and we'll be ready for a trip to the post office. Hooray!




Also, I read that, typically, if a save-the-date is sent out, an invitation should be sent out later as well. I guess I don't understand the necessity of that. Would it be completely weird if I only sent out save-the-dates and skipped the invitation nonsense? It seems sufficient to me, anyway! Plus, if I can cut any corners, I WILL. I'd rather have more money to feed and entertain at the wedding, than waste on additional printing and postage.
