Activity for Mandi

With a little under 7 weeks to go, I remembered I have issues with being the center of attention. And while I've been DREADING my bridal showers, it never occurred to me that my wedding day is AN ENTIRE DAY FULL OF ATTENTION DIRECTED AT ME AND MY...

They are [almost] done. I need to add 2 more things and they are ready to go! My mom and I worked on making bouquets and flower girl baskets this weekend. I am SO excited to take photos of them. And share. But I'm trying so hard to wait to share much...

My wedding ring is officially being made! I'm so excited! I have been dreading the wedding ring. I love my engagement ring, and really don't want to take away from it. My FMIL did not like that and told me I have to get a wedding ring. My fiance and...

As we are receiving our RSVPs back, we are also lucky enough to be receiving some regrets and checks. And while I will admit that it is a little exciting to see checks made out to Mr. & Mrs. Newlastname, I gotta wonder "How do we cash this?"...

It seems like "the wedding is in 50 days" and "the wedding is next month" is IMPOSSIBLE. Yet here we are. I feel like I have a million tedious things to do, but also, I'm so close to being done. Honestly, let's get this whole wedding thing over with...

Today is the first day we didn't get mail. But the Ring still caught the mailman walking by. I'm sad because of the 42 RSVPs received, most of them have come on Tuesdays. Lol. I'm still waiting on 61 RSVPs to come in. But I'm starting to think we...

Y'all this how much beer should I buy junk is ridiculous. 250 ish people. Let's say 200 of them drink.So I need 1,000 servings.So roughly I need 6 kegs. [We had 22oz cups made. And that's absolutely what we are using.]And approximately 100 bottles of...

I've been pretty adamant about refusing to use a hashtag at this wedding... BUT I do really like the ISpy idea on Pinterest. And since I'm not buying and developing who knows how many disposable cameras, I think the only way to do this and see the...

Do I need separate songs for grandparents and parents being seated? Like one for parents and grandparents, then one for the bridal party? Looking for suggestions for those 1 or 2 songs. Bridal march: got it Unity Candle song: Suggestions?...

If you think weddings need themes, this post isn't for you. My fiance and I are getting a little annoyed because we are constantly being asked what our wedding theme is. Our personal opinion is that weddings don't have themes. I spent several years...

I'm in a very heavily Catholic populated area. So I've seen bridal parties and even brides and grooms be seated during the wedding ceremony... Since we are not having a Catholic wedding, I just planned on having our party stand with us for the 15-20...

Sent out our invites a week ago and discovered our spreadsheet didn't count everyone... and we over invited by approximately 45 people. We've recieved 15 RSVPs back already... and they are all YES. And while so far 3 kiddos are getting sent to the...

Care to share? I feel like the usuals my photographer will have under control. What sort of special shots should I ask for? Or even just general MUST HAVES?

In November, my fiance and I went to talk about tuxes at the store we ordered bridesmaid dresses. She wouldn't measure my fiance 4 months in advance because "men's weights fluctuate more". One of my bridesmaids got measured for her dress while 8...

Who all am I supposed to buy gifts for? Every time I turn around, I see a new person that I might supposed to be gifting. Got some cute toys for the flower girls and ringbearers. Awesome. Wine glasses, tote bags, and earrings for the bridesmaids....
