Got a lot done this weekend!

Got a last minute good price flight so my parents wanted me to come in and do some last minute planning.

I picked out new invitations - they are going to be custom made by Julie Holcomb Printers She is an artist who works in Letterpress - who has been featured many times in Martha Stewart and other bridal magazines. They are based on a design by Claudia Calhoun.

I had them put thru my dress order, I ordered my veil thru Priscilla of Boston - the Cathedral, blusher and fingertip veil was much cheaper than many other places I looked (the only ones I found for less -where the very itchy ones) their quality was great.

I went to Mary's Corsettiers and ordered my invisible seam corset! - They are SO nice to work with there!

I bought my wedding jewlery

Picked out my BM jewlery (and gifts). Will be ordering them soon.

I went to Adriannes and tried to find out what was happening with my BM shawls since they never return my phone calls (they say they will be this Friday so I have my fingers crossed!)

I am doing an art theme (will be using post cards as my seating cards and tables numbers will be replaced with a post card of the painting for guests to match up)

And I bought my Favors they are ordered and should be in soon:
I am giving out large art magnets to each guest -(I think they are about 3 x 5) They have a cute frame so they look like a small framed painting. I am getting them from the Metropolitan Art Museum.

They women there is going to either give me these nice small gold Met bags with tissue paper or small gold envelopes with gold sticker to put them in (looks much nicer than it sounds.

Here are some of the different ones that I got:

The girls on here have some great ideas so they inspired me to do something different! I was thinking hopefully people will use the magnets instead of throwing them in a drawer (and the met bags look nice and saves me from wrapping favors!

Re: Got a lot done this weekend!

Thanks - I was an art history major and worked at the Metropolitan art museum so I thought it would be different when I heard about things such as using light houses as name I thought it might be different!

Mary Corsettiers is on Woodbury road off of manetto hill

If you take the Northern state to Manetto hill road you would go make a left onto manetto hill, turn left (going south) onto Woodbury road right under the underpass (LIE) and it is on the left hand side
