Do It Yourself: Table Numbers

I love this easy and inexpensive idea for table number holders. Also a SUPER fun idea for 'dressing' up the numbers.

Updates

I just realized I haven't blogged in over a week and I must tell you... I am disappointed in myself. Between work, finals, papers, projects, family issues, Michael starting a new job, life is just feeling a tad bit overwhelming at the moment.


To catch you up on what happened at my dress appointments last weekend, well I did not buy anything, which I wasn't planning on finding 'the one' in one day anyways. I have almost always been one of those people that must  continue to explore and look into things before I make a solid, final decision that I am happy with. I was like that with my engagement ring and I certainly intend to be just as picky if not more with my wedding dress. But anyways, I found what kind of styles that looked the best on me and that I liked which is definitely a step forward. Unfortunately, other than that no real new progress has been made. Michael has told me that after tonight we will kick wedding planning into high gear and I am hoping he is right. :)


But as for right now, I need to finish my last and final project and begin to pack and do laundry for my mission trip to Haiti in 5 days.


PS. Michael was so sweet today and cheered me up by surprising me at work with flowers! :) I love him!!

Saturday

Needless to say I am pretty excited about going dress shopping on Saturday. Here is the days schedule of events and it is out to be one heck of a long day!


10:00-11:00 White Traditions 
11:30-1:00 David's Bridal 
1:00-1:30 (I am thinking Bread Co or Chick-Fil-A :))
2:00-3:30 Karen's Bridal Boutique 
(the last 2 are right across the street from one another)
3:30-5:00 Blossom's Bridal 


TOOO excited! 

Some Progress :D

Here is what has been happening on the wedding progress... 

1) I have been searching for photographers like a mad woman 

- Michael and I met with a photographer a couple of weeks ago and liked her but want to see what other options we have 

2) Michael, my mom and I checked out 2 possible reception sites today!! Both venues presented pros and cons. 

Hendris: http://hendris.com/

Pros- All-inclusive price, Flexibility, Willingness to help with centerpieces, Provides tablecloths and centerpieces, Set-up, Close to Ted Drewes

Cons- Location, Parking in back, Would need to rent chair covers 

Schlafy Tap Room-The Club Room: http://www.schlafly.com/breweries/private-parties/ 

Pros-Parking, Downtown location, Provides tablecloths, Charisma, Historical Site, Outside area for guest book, Brick walls and windows 

Cons- Extra fees, Would need to rent chair covers, Price for product, Restaurant (and possibly live music) would be downstairs

As you can tell I am personally torn about if I had to choose today, which one I would prefer (PS. All advice or opinions are welcome). We are planning on looking at a few other places for sure though before deciding anything. I am also currently in the process of collecting some additional venues to contact.

3) I have 4 bridal boutique appointments for next Saturday from 10:00-5:00! Needless to say I will be beat after this day! But I am SOOO excited :D 

Disappointment...

I miss blogging. :(


School and life is currently kicking my butt.


I will blog again soon...Promise.
