I've started so many posts about my upcoming nuptials but recently realized I've never actually posted any of them. My bad! We are attempting to do most everything on our own to keep the budget low. Here are some examples of what we've done/plan on doing.
Designing/printing/assembling the invites.
I designed them from a picture I found online. My wonderful momma is
putting them all together for me! Once we finally finish our guest list we
will be addressing and mailing them ourselves, that's right, no fancy
calligraphy here. =)
Decorating the ceremony and reception venues
This could be a whole post in itself... so much we are doing!
Doing the flowers on our own.
It's a little intimidating but I helped a friend do her's a couple summers
ago so at least her and I kinda know what we're doing. =)
The part that scares me the most is ordering flowers that don't look good
together, but we are using lots of pics for inspiration. It will be fine I'm
sure. =)
Making the meal.
My older bro works for a food distributer so he's getting us everything
CHEAP! He's also offered to prepare all the food for us. Thanks bro!! We're
just doing super simple fare so hopefully it won't take too much time and
effort.
Baking all the desserts.
So I have this grand idea for a dessert bar. All kinds of sugary confections
for our guests to enjoy. My dear mother, sisters and I along with help from
future in-laws and a handful of aunts plan to tackle this ourselves. I think
some of what we plan on making can be done ahead of time and frozen...
At least I'm hoping. =)
So we are pretty much thrifting, borrowing or making basically everything. I feel like that makes things a little more personal and unique. As it draws closer i'm realizing a little more all the work ahead of us but I'm excited. I've had soooo many offers from friends to help me I could prob get away with doing NOTHING myself. =)
Crossing my fingers things come off disaster free. Though I spose a disaster or two will make it more memorable. ;)
