79 Days Left!!! Ahhhh!!

I cannot believe there are ONLY 79 days left until Nathan and I get married. Where did the time go? I remember us first getting engaged and so happy that we had so long to plan and pay off everything. Now, it's just around the corner. While stuff still is not paid off, I think we are doing a pretty good job. So, what else has been going on.........

We ordered our invitations on etsy.com from a seller named moncherdesigns. I highly recommend her. Her work is absolutely amazing and she responds right away which we all know I love! Seriously, I priced invitations everywhere and with her I got the invitations, response cards, direction cards which also includeed the hotel information, seals, envelopes that were self-addressed for the invites AND response cards for half the price it would have been elsewhere. It made me SO very happy and they look amazing! Those went out this morning so, I have another thing checked off the list to do! I love when you can find a great deal without spending an arm and a leg. Love that website!

My bridesmaids and I got had a get together to talk about the day of the wedding, bachelorette party and bridal shower a few weeks ago. I feel like we got everything taken care of. It was great sitting there and talking with my girls. I really have a great group of girls as my bridesmaids. So drama free which makes me happy. We literally sat in Panera talking for hours. Then we went to the party store to check out decorations, etc. It was a very fun day!

Nathan, Jaci (Matron-of-Honor) and I went and checked out my Bridal Shower venue and LOVE it. It's huge, hardwood floors, very pretty and great for the price. It will be so perfect. I can't wait to see it decorated by my bridesmaids for my Bridal Shower! It will look so pretty! Hot pink, polka-dots, black, white...the works. I am so excited!

April 9th we are going in for alterations for my wedding dress and the bridesmaid dresses. Hoping it goes smoothly. I know how crazy Davids Bridal can be on a Saturday! I really am worried about them messing up my dress but, have to keep faith that everything will be okay and my dress won't look ridiculous the day of my wedding!

We have another appointment with our cake people mid-April. We chose more flavors to try and we will be finalizing the look of the cake, cake flavors, etc. Nathan and I had a blast trying cakes before and we really liked these people so, it will be awesome! We are meeting them at our wedding venue so they can see the set-up and where the cake will go, etc.

Until next time..............
