UPDATES with PICTURES (invites, shower etc)

My invites were mailed on Friday and I already received 1 RSVP!!!! I will def be stalking the mailbox now!!!

I ordered my invites through elegant brides - as recommended by Megan (soontobemrsD) She was such a big help. I was looking for affordable pocketfolds and was about to give up hope, but she came through for me! Thanks so much meg!!!! I was able to get them at 40% OFF!!! I saved so much $$

ELEGANT BRIDES

The company was so pleasant to work with and always got back to me right away!! I was even able to print the directions on the backs of all the cards so I didn’t have to insert ones the places give you

Here are some pictures (they aren’t the best and they def look better in person)

IT POURED ON SATURDAY!!!! It was so amazing!! I was really surprised! Everyone had me thrown off BIG TIME! My mom and FMIL had me convinced it would be in July. My friend had me going with her to look at a place to have her mothers party at and it was so well set up. I had even offered to go with her - she didnt even ask me - which through me off even more. We met with the guy he started showing us rooms and then of course opened one room and it was for me. Everyone was there - I was shocked!

My mother, sister (MOH) FMIL and FHs aunt (and so many others) all took part in helping to set up my shower and I am so thankful for theml. they really made it a special day for me!

the favor...
they found coffee mugs and filled them with biscotti, bags of nuts and my mom had coffee bags made up that said 'perfectly blended' with our names and wedding date on them. They also added this fragrance set that makes the whole room smell as it is soaked up on the sticks.

gifts – everyone was so amazingly generous!!!


my cousin is making my cake topper. She had brought it to show me, but it’s not completely done. She even purchased a stand for us to display after the wedding. It’s beautiful!!!






Today I ordered our Rehearsal dinner invites. I wasn’t going to but Vista print had a great deal. I ended up getting 30 for 8.99 (plus shipping – which was high – but seems like that’s the trend lately)

I was even able to have the directions printed on the back of the invite included in the price

Awwwww You were really surprised about your shower...that's awesome. I personally did not want to be surprised, but love surprising others. lol

So happy everything went well...it certainly seems like everyone had a great time. It's nice to have so many people love you isn't it?

i didnt want to be surprised either i was getting anxious about it. I made my mom swear up and down that she was going to tell me the week before... she totally lied to me. my friend told me i had plenty of time to get a dress - which was a lie (thankfully my sister took something from my closet!!)

FH was even lying to me - which he felt so bad about

it was really nice to feel so loved!!
