Activity for KarenO

I can finally post a BAM! We got married on June 29 in the Philadelphia suburbs. It was a hot day, but we still had our ceremony outside, and the rest of the event was inside, thankfully. There were a few hiccups, but overall everything went...

Yay, it feels so good to be finished with my DIY program fans. I had some issues with the glue, but glue dots to the rescue again (to precision-glue areas where the original glue came loose). They seem pretty good now, so I hope they stay glued. I'm...

I had a hard time finding a meaningful gift for my father. We are giving both of our parents gift cards to their favorite restaurants with a heartfelt note, but we also wanted some physical things to give to them at the rehearsal dinner. I had no...

Hi, I've been working on our program fans and was hoping for some feedback on the layout, graphics and wording. I still have to adjust the borders a bit, glue the handle higher into the program and find a better glue (suggestions, please: I bought...

We picked up our favors yesterday, and I love how they came out. They are a rosé wine from a local vineyard, Buckingham Valley Vineyards (PA). We were going to skip the favors, but I'm glad we decided to go with these ones. I hope our guests will...

I took this photo last night thinking I wanted to post about being happy to send out the invitations today. But, I looked at a few of them this morning, and many envelopes are coming unsealed, mostly at the outside edges but also at other places...

Wow, my mother and my bridesmaids threw my shower this past Sunday, and I'm still so overwhelmed by the whole thing. It's amazing to see so many of our (female) family and friends, and feel the love in the room. I'm an older bride, so I was really...

Hi, I just received our invitations today and was wondering if anyone has any tips for gluing the layers of the invitation together. I put one together using the supplied glue dots, and really took my time, and it still turned out crooked. I have to...

Our cake topper came in today and I love it! It didn't photograph very well, but it looks nice in person. It has a rough silver finish. We didn't want a "Mr. & Mrs. LastName" one, so the shop customized it for us with our first names. It took us...

What kind of earrings are you wearing on your wedding day? I am totally undecided and would love to see photos of ones you plan to wear or are considering. I saw a few cheap styles on David's Bridal, and may go check those out in person. I also saw...

I probably should've ordered invitations at least a month ago, and am now getting down to the wire for ordering. (We're planning to send them by April 15 for a June 1 R.S.V.P. date for our June 29 wedding.) My problem is: I have no idea what I want....
