Wedding: Invites

It really is never ending.We had decided on invites but then it seemed that no one really like them and we were going to have to change everything about them and my mother was upset my parents' names weren't going on them. We could have squeezed that on, but then the Flemings didn't seem pleased that their names would be left off and I ended up with an invite made for a more modern wording ("toghether with their families...") that I was trying to make work for everyone and I was starting to hate it.So I'm starting over from scratch. Mom found a printer who will make them look how I want, I just have to send her the copy for it. So that's what I'm working on this week. Designing my invites from scratch. I realize this is probably going to cost more but I'm done complaining because it's making...

Scrapping: May C2P kit

We've been without internet and cable at home (I know, toture) and this weekend I managed to get quite a few layouts done, in addition to being home sick. (stupid cold)I tore through the May C2P kit (which if should be available at the end of the week!) which was completely lovely and fun to work with. I'm never entirely happy with the first layout I do with a kit. I feel like this one ended up to busy now that I look at it. The photos are from way back when (see that ex boyfriend there) at a Band Formal at Tech I went to in 2003 with my band friends (I think I got to go because I was in concert band). It was a fun time even if it was silly. I cherished that photo at the top of me fixing David's tie for a long time (you can see the ring he...

Wedding: Favors, Photography and Music - HELP!

I'm stuck. I've been wracking my brain for a cute idea for wedding favors and I can't come up with anything creative and fun. I need the blog world's help. Someone please, anyone, give me some advice. I've seen a million and one cute ideas, but I need something to spark and I need to hear that someone just loved something.In addition I need some tips on photography. Certain photos that we should def include in our "must have taken" list. Also suggestions where we should have the bulk of our kT and Champ photos taken would be grand as well.Finally I'm calling the DJ (actually here and just a second) and I need some advice with music lists so that I have an idea of what I want to add to my playlist before i start digging through, what I'm sure is an enormous collection he has. (Kudos to...

Wedding: Invitations

After much deliberation and much back and forth I finally decided on the invites. I'm fairly certain I'm the only person that really likes them because I'm pretty sure Champ doesn't love them and Mom really wanted different ones with a little tux and dress on them, but I put my foot down and made a decision. These were the second choice, but mom really didn't like the first choice invites, and I kept going back to these. They are modern and yet refined. We'll have the invite, the reception card, response card and note cards with our initials. For us everything that's in brown will be in the bright pink and everything in blue will be in navy. I would have done it the other way around but that felt like too much pink....
