95 days to go!
We're closing in on the 3 month mark so I've spent the last few days searching for a bridal shop to do the alterations on my now 3 sizes too big wedding dress. Thanks to some recommendations from fellow Knotties, I called a local store and have secured a date for my first dress fitting. Now, I've just got to get all those unmentionables together to take to the fitting with me. At least I already have the shoes :)

96: So close
96 days to go!
With three envelopes and two RSVP cards to go we are this close to being finished with the printing of the invites. It actually didn't take quite as long as I thought it was going to take to finish up tonight. As soon as we get these last three addresses (and a few names/guests figured out) then we can officially finish up the printing and start assembling the invites so that they'll be ready to drop in the mail on the 31st! I think I am going to feel a big relief once these are done. We've worked hard and long on them and I can't wait for our friends and family to see how they turned out :)

97: And the printing continues
97 days to go!
Over the long Thanksgiving weekend, Jon and I started printing the invitations. We need a total of 80 invites and we plan to mail them on the 31st (as we head out of town to spend New Years Eve in Santa Barbara with my cousin Farina and her boyfriend Ryan - my college roommate). We started with printing the invitation mats. That was pretty easy. Then we decided to print the return address on the RSVP envelopes - but the printer decided the envelopes were too small and likes to smear the ink so we opted to do labels for those envelopes. Next we moved onto printing the addresses on the outer envelopes (I don't know why I say "outer" envelope - its not like we have an inner envelope also - but whatever, you know what I mean) and at the same time we started printing the RSVP cards. It was our plan to print 5 or so RSVP cards then the corresponding outer envelopes that go with the RSVP cards (the RSVP cards are custom to the guest) and then stuff the RSVP card into the envelope so that when we start stuffing the invitations the corresponding RSVP card will already be in the envelope so they don't get mixed up. So far, that process is working out very nicely. We've got about 30 printed so far. We plan to finish up today (along with the million other things I want to get done today around our house).
Upcoming items on the to-do list:
We are meeting with a possible videographer next weekend
We will be making the tux selections while we are on vacation (the week of Christmas)
We will be spray painting our card-cage black and apply the ribbon details
We will be removing the stickers from the bottom of our center piece vases and washing those
We will be mailing the invites on the 31st ... and sometime after that I'll post some examples of how they turned out!
And, I'm on the search for a place to take my now four sizes too big wedding dress for alterations (the bridal shop I had planned on going to said they are not doing alterations anymore) :(

98: We're going to Hawaii
98 days to go!
We booked our honeymoon today! We'll be spending 5 glorious nights at the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa during Spring Break next year (just 3 weeks after our wedding). We knew from the beginning that we really wanted to go to Hawaii (I have never been) and we are very excited that we got such a deal (under our set limit to spend on the honeymoon)!!!
Now, we can start planning our honeymoon activities :)
