One more thing accomplished!

I haven't been writing much about our wedding in a while. This is because I'm working a 20 day streak, so I haven't done much with the wedding! However, yesterday I got home from work early, so I decided to hammer out the invitation details. Since I bought my dress at David's Bridal, I received a packet of discounts. One of these discounts was 30% off all invitations. I really wanted to make my own invitations, but Tony and I looked through the ones online and fell in love with one. So.....we personalized them and ordered them! They should be shipped out in the next week! What a weight off my shoulders knowing they are on the way, and I don't have to spend hours making them!

We are going to have a little table at our reception in memory of our grandparents. I only have one grandfather left and Tony only has his mom's parents. We wanted to make a little tribute to the grandparents who were a big part of our lives. I bought the materials to make little memorial candles....Since we have 5 grandparents who have passed away, we will have one for each of them. I'm going to print their names on the vellum and wrap around the glass cylinders. I'll put a votive candle in each and it will illuminate the entire cylinder.

 This is a close up of the pattern on the vellum I'll be using.

Friday night after school, I went to my friend Dawn's house. She has had three weddings out to her house, so she has quite a few wedding things to spare. We had a blast going through the totes. These are a few of the items I acquired. I'll also be stealing some old mason jars for centerpieces...

One last thing: I was browsing around Michael's and found some neat cupcake wrappers. My cousin, Hannah Hemann, will be making a cake and the cupcakes, so I thought I'd purchase the wrappers while I was there! I love them!

Well, these are the things that are now crossed off my list! I just got the call that I don't need to work today, so I'll be spending the day with the Smidt family and the Knutson family!
