Table number-holders

Don't want to give anything away, so I'm not including pictures of the awesomeness, but... I found these super-awesome table number-holders on Etsy, for $20 a pop plus shipping... Ugh. But so pretty! I decided maybe I could make them, for about $4 apiece. I was worried that the holders, made mostly of thin wire, would end up looking like a tangled ball, but the first one turned out pretty perfect! These are gonna be so fun. Artistic and such. I'm actually not sure how the chic on Etsy ships hers, considering how thin the wire is -- they are pretty delicate, and even light tissue wrapping could mutilate them. For that matter, I don't know how I'm getting the one I made here at work all the way home in the morning, or how I'll store 10+ of them for the next 9 months... But so pretty!

Also (forgot to mention this last week) we mailed out the save-the-date magnets last Monday, which is probably why you all found the website. Yay!

Got my dress, made save-the-dates

My house (and my job) had no electricity most of Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. That made the week super fun. Alex DID have electricity (lucky for him) and I spent most of the weekend up there, as I usually do. Plus my car has air conditioning, unlike my house, so I didn't mind driving around so much. Which brings us to wedding stuff...


Tuesday I went to David's Bridal and picked up my dress. So pretty! Can't wait to wear it :) I am gonna be GORGEOUS. Seriously.


Moving on, tonight Alex and I went through the pictures Tina has finished (find all of them on Facebook!) and chose the ones for our Save-the-Date Magnets, which we then ordered. We should get them in the next week or so, and soon thereafter, all of you should see them in your mail. (Email us if you think we don't have your address yet!)


Also, tonight or tomorrow I'm going to put a bunch of Tina's pictures on the wedding website so they're easier for people to flip through.
