August 5, 2006 Lauren and Kenny!
Hi Girls,
So far, we have the hall and the DJ (FH's cousin) Our hall has a package that includes CPs, invites, DJ, limo, photos. We're broke just trying to pay for the hall right now, so I haven't done much else except get my florist quote! But my sister might be doing all the
BoK's, boutinierres (sp), and corsages so I might not even need them!

(PS- we got married at town hall last Friday!!! but it's a secret!)

Re: Official August 2006 Thread. Come on in.

I already picked out mine, I'll try to find a pic somewhere for you guys. But we have to work on the wording first (we have divorced parents) and my invite lady Personal Touch Printing by Kim said I have a while before I need to order. She's awsome, you go to her beautiful house, and she gives you the books and sets you loose! She gave me a lot of great advice, and she has a lot of experience. So let me know if you guys want her #!

Re: Official August 2006 Thread. Come on in.

we are actually doing invites in November, FH is designing them.

I am getting them done so early because we are also doing STD bookmarks with the same colors as the invites. It is more cost effective for our printer to run the STD's and invites at once. FH and the printer are bartering - FH is doing the printers website and the printer will run our invites. I am using petal envelopes - similar to those on
paper-source

we are going to set it up similar to this

but without the ribbon. I think we will use a custom sticker and band of paper with a custom design.

Re: Official August 2006 Thread. Come on in.

Yeah I was looking into those too, but they are soooo expensive. I think Im going to start looking for invites in November because I want to get everything done. I have a HUGE year coming up - 3 weddings in June, bridal showers, bachelorette parties...everything pretty much happening all at once. This NOT even including my fittings and everything like that.

Im going to book my florist in January. After that, I will pretty much be done with all my major vendors.

I cant wait. Besides that, I will be on this site more then ever because of all of the ladies on LIW-I cant wait to see pics & reviews from the girls on this site.

Can 2006 get any more exciting?

my invite lady said I have until May to order, but she wanted me to think about wording right now, so I think you have time! But I already picked mine out, one less thing to think about!!
