Disappearing act!

For those of you that checked out our blog before may have noticed that it fell off the face of the earth! Just completely vanished! So, here I am again! We're up and ready to go!


For those of you that did not check out the blog yet.......Tony and I got engaged May 3, and we're getting married October 29, 2010 in Rochester! I'm trying to be a crafty money saving bride; therefore,I anticipate many times where I will need time and a place to vent/share. That's where this blog comes into play! I will be documenting the progress of our wedding plans from start to finish!


Here was my first bullet on the homemade wedding item to-do list: Save the Dates! I made these little magnets! If you don't get one, that does not mean that we're not inviting you! I made 100 thinking that would be enough, but after our parents added some guests to our list, it will not be sufficient! (I also have not mailed them out yet....Tony has some address work to do!)

You maybe noticed a theme with these Save the Dates...the colors! We decided on a deep purple (also known as Plum at David's Bridal), orange, and yellow for our wedding day color scheme.


Today is the day I go wedding dress and bridesmaid dress shopping! My mother, cousin Jacque (maid of honor) and cousin Kaylee (junior bridesmaid) will be accompanying me. I'm a little nervous considering I split with Tony a basket of sweet potato fries, fried green beans, and cheesecake last night at TGI Fridays after attending "Loving Lorna Doone" for the 3rd time.


Here's an example of one of the trial invitations I made. However, the more I think about it, the more inclined I am to buy pre-made pocket invitations from VIP in Rochester. It took me a long time to assemble the pocket for the inside of the invite. I like the simplicity of the front, so this is more than likely how that will look regardless if I make the actual pocket or buy pre-made. (Note the glittery wedding gown! I love that part!)

Well, I am off to make myself presentable for dress shopping! Hope this blog doesn't mysteriously disappear like the last one!
