3 months and 5 days to go!

Click, Click without Bling, Bling

Derek and I have wanted a photo booth from the very beginning. Turns out they are around $600. Hmmmm, yeah, I'd rather be able to afford the wedding cake. So here is what we're looking into doing. Hopefully around only a $100 cost for some priceless wedding photos!

It can't be THAT hard to make. 

We'll just need a few fames, wall paper and some silly friends and family members.

Of course, we'll add in some adorable props too. :)

Now, I'll need to delegate the photography portion of this to someone (perhaps one of our two photographers), but I'll figure you that out soon enough. Promise it won't be anyone of you, unless you want to do it. ;) But I wasn't thinking of anyone in our party. I'd like us all to enjoy our time together. 

Okay, so who is up to help me build this thing?! Anyone?! Anyone?!

Check out this webpages to understand it the process.

 Do It Yourself Photo-Wall

By the way, Dave (the wedding planner at the Hemingway Home) said he can keep anything, like this, in his garage at the venue the week before the wedding. We just have to let him know.

Sealed With A Kiss

 They all started out as a blank card-stock card from Michael's Craft Store, and though they're all different in small details, each one is special in a big way. Sounds cheesy, but I fell in love with each one that we sent out. The whole process was a bit therapeutic too, here's a look at it.

Cutting the pages to size for the inside of the envelope. 

In they go.

Print, stamp, cut...

Print, stamp, cut... 

Cut ribbon, find gold pen, get organized...

After finding a font, downloading, and testing it, it's time to print.

Carina drew the cover!! Time to print, then color each shutter... 

Add gold edges, library pockets and wax seals...

Address, stamp, stuff, seal and send on their way!

An Oprah Give Away!

YOU GET A JAR!! YOU GET A JAR!! EVERYBODY GETS A JAAAAR!! YOU GET A JAR!! YOU GET A JAR!!

Today we bought our favors and, of course, keeping in theme- they're jars!! I'm not going to give anything away, but I will tell you that I'm so excited. So, so excited. Like most everything in our wedding, they will be personalized with a little touch, and it will be done by hand. Though, I have two friends that have offered to help with the personalizing if I provide the wine. Check! I'm hoping everyone will enjoy their favor and find them "refreshing". ::wink, wink::

That's a lot of jars!
