We didn't do anything fancy to celebrate but the day was awesome and super productive. We slept in (which so rarely happens these days), had brunch at our favorite spot, did some wedding invite + paper shopping at Paper Source (most awesome store ever!), hung out in the park, went shopping for wine for the wedding, ate pizza, watched way too many episodes of Arrested Development (can someone please explain to me why that show got cancelled?!?!), oh, and then I stayed up until 5:30am totally redesigning our wedding invitation for the millionth time.
But you know what? Progress has been made! The invite is finished and ready to be sent to the printers (HALLELUJAH!) and the crafty-DIY part of the invite is well underway (hint: it involves a lot of hand-made confetti which takes hours upon hours to make. These ideas always sound fabulous prior to actually starting the project!) For those of you who haven't heard about the invite design woes that led to me hanging out with my good friend Adobe Illustrator at 5:30am here's the scoop: We were originally working with a graphic designer on some custom invites but the graphic designer turned out to be extremely unprofessional (no responses to e-mails for weeks at a time - yeah, no bueno) so we decided to part ways with miss unprofessional about two weeks ago. Since then, I've been spending a lot of time brainstorming and designing to come up with our own custom invite. After many drafts and revisions we finally came up with something we are head over heels in love with and just in the nick of time because we need to get these babies in the mail ASAP. So now it's on to the DIY portion of the invite. Here's a sneak peek:
All I can say is - YAY! It's going to be awesome and of course I will post pictures when they are finished and mailed!
Additional progress made this weekend?
1. three out of the five wines we will be serving at the wedding have been chosen (a. I hope you all like pinot noir, cab and sauvignon blanc and b. our fridge/kitchen is jam packed with open and unopened bottles of wine - pretty sure we look like alcoholics)
2. my wedding shoes are purchased. (remember those cute kate spade shoes I posted a while back with the gold bow? YES!)
3. a lot of the wedding paper has been designed or is well on it's way to being completed (invite, details card, ceremony program, escort cards, etc.)
4. table linens/napkins picked out
With only 75 days left until the wedding we need more productive weekends like this....errrr....every weekend ;)
xo,
