Loving all the updates!! What a great deal on the flasks!!
The ceremony looks great! I think things always look longer on paper than they actually are! I am a teacher and I always think things are going to take forever and then they take like 5 minutes! I think it's a good length! Not to mention, for $3,000 for the WP, you might as well spend a little time there!
Oooooh, I love your ceremony! I'm trying to piece my together and may borrow bits and pieces of this (if you don't mind). Thank you so much for sharing!
I have been working on a couple DIY projects again. I want something very classy for our escort cards, but something people haven't seen a lot. I came across this photo on a Martha Stewart website I think. I was able to get the small votive candles on Amazon for a great price and the ribbon on super sale after Christmas! Once we get our final RSVP list I think they should be pretty easy to make -- just print out the names and numbers on vellum paper and put ribbon around it.
Nichole, I absolutely fell in love with your candles (saw them on another thread), and I am really thinking that I would love to do that as well. However, I have a few questions, and maybe you have already thought about this...
Are the candles going to have "real" candles in them? If so, are they going to be votives, or tea lights?
And since your guests are going to be carrying them from the placecard table to their table, are you concerned about the heat from them? I was thinking about having these as table settings (for seat placement) rather than having people carrying them to their table - my family is not the most graceful, and I'd hate to have someone get a hot-wax makeover!
And lastly, are you going to have them blow out the candles at some point, so they can take the votive holders with them? The wax will have to cool if I am using real candles, or I risk the hot-wax makeover again.
Like I said, I LOVE the candles, and if I could make it work logistically, that would be great. BTW, we're having our reception at ADH as well, and I think that room would look GREAT with extra candlelight.
I wouldn't worry about the ceremony length!
To be honest, last week I didn't hear a word Rev. Jack said. I'm glad I read the ceremony beforehand. I was too busy thinking "Oh no....there goes a boat...I hope they don't honk....hey...check out the cake table...that looks niiiice...oh, crap, I better smile or I'm going to look angry in our pictures....oh my god, is my mom CRYING again?? Can someone get her a kleenex? Wait, what did he just say? Oops, my turn to talk. Man the sky is pretty today."
Seriously. And DH and I both messed up our vows at the EXACT same point. We couldn't get through without welling up and had to pause and breathe.
That stinks about your bridesmaids. It's too bad they didn't mention that beforehand. I mean, not that their lives should be put on hold, but the dresses are important and require a lot of though, so you need to know things like that. A little consideration I suppose.
I was able to finish the door hangers we are going to put in the welcome baskets. These were super easy and took almost no time (or expense). My kind of DIY project
Super easy and takes almost no time or expense and are super cute??? Sign me up! Can you please explain to me how to make them? Thanks!
Those tear packets are too cute!! Where did you get that Mickey ribbon?!
I have seen that Pluto before!!! SOOOO Adorable!!
Wow! I really love your door hangers! I especially love the back...I might have to steal that line "we had too much fun at the wedding"
Sure! I ordered 4x8" pre-cut curious metallic cardstock from www.cutcardstock.com/CuriousMetallicFLATcardInvitations.aspx and got a 1.5" punch from Michaels. I created the design in PowerPoint (changing the paper and print sizes to 4x8"). I also put a little "x" on the top center where I wanted to punch out the circle. I work on a Mac so I like to print out of iPhoto so I saved the PowerPoints as photos (.jpg). I loaded all the paper in my printer to print the front and then back in to print the back. Punch the circles and cut a little slit and I was done! The whole process took about an hour.

Great! Thanks!
Nichole, I just read your entire PJ and love what you have planned! We are getting married on the same day as you!!! Maybe we will bump into each other at some point!
