What are you working on this week?

Alyssa, on January 13, 2019 at 12:34 PM Posted in Planning 0 19
Im Working on finalizing my decor layout for my venue
I would ideally like to put the cake on something but it's going to be a pretty large ring
Worst case scenario I'll end up just putting the cardboard base directly on the table lol but my ideal plan is a clear platter on top of a log slab
I'm using log slabs on another stand but it will be displaying the cookie/donut favors and doesn't have any big enough platforms for the ring
I'm hoping to find someone who is cutting trees now or in a couple months and maybe get the slab off them if their tree is thick enough but I thought a clear platter would still be nice on top of log and a good idea in case I cannot work out my original plan
I did mostly complete my program
I used scissors and tried hand folding first but it just doesn’t look great...
I’m going to skip it if I can not make them look nice.
I just don’t have steady hands
I’m considering trying a razor against a metal ruler and seeing if that will get better edges, but regardless I’m going to have to get access to a scorer or I will be abandoning the plan
im having a dilemma though: this is what I have

Do you think the 3 fonts is weird?
I liked first page best font but it’s illegible small and apparently the inside pages don’t is illegible at size needed to fit on back page
Nia votes cut the quotes out of the Ceremony section to use the font that I (and she) wanted but I'm thinking no one would even notice the quotes if I don’t point them out: that's why I was thinking I would include them and apparently my step mom agrees with my line of thinking...but says she would probably just substitute font to be done...

so would you

a use 3 fonts

b use all times new Roman (cursive font from inside isn't clear enough on size for last page...)

C use font you like, get scorer, and do 4 page programs

D completely drop quotes and cut text until font works

e Or last option would be make a sign on a table for ceremony quotes and whoever notices, notices and whoever doesn't, doesn't (d option with sign added basically)

If I can get a paper cutters effect off a metal ruler and using a razor work I could do 4 pages easily and staple it if I get a scorer
We were discussing trying to get a ancient laptop and that would offer a lot more options font wise... right now I'm using iPhone and nook and literally 3 programs and then doing trial and error printings to line up everything correctly because of software limitations...
I just think I would rather get scorer because I think I would skip programs if I can not make them look great but I do have time for trial and error...

what are you doing this week? Is everything smooth sailing or have you run into some pot holes in your planning this week?

Happy 2019!!! Yay for everyone with a upcoming wedding this year!!

    I need to work on my invites! We wanted to send them about 8 weeks out (since most our invites are out of town guests) so I need to get on top of FH and see where he is at with getting the few addresses that were missing. I told him if he didnt get them they wouldn't get an invite cause I was not hunting them down!

    I went to try on dressed for the first time yesterday and I went in thinking that I knew exactly what I wanted (nothing strapless, A-line, a little poof, white)....WAS I WRONG. Its strapless, "technically" A-line but like borderline mermaid, and its ivory applique with champagne under...

    I’m excited to find the dress that actually screams me! I already have a dress but I bought it two years ago and it doesn’t fit anymore and our wedding plans have wildly changed.

    Nothing this week. I think next few I am going to see what bridesmaids want to get hair and nakeup done. It is at a salon and they only have 4 stylists. So I know it is early bo boom but since there are 5 of us.

    We're finalizing our videographers this week in addition to my grad school starting back up in full force!
    To your question, I think it's whatever you like but I would stick to no more than 2 fonts. I personally like the simplicity of the times new Roman throughout especially because you're including quotes and you want people to be able to read them without struggling.
    Also, idk if this matters to you but typically the title for someone over 18 (if you are) is Ms. as opposed to Miss (not being critical, just another set of eyes!) But again, do what makes you happy! It sounds like you have a beautiful and very personal ceremony planned

    Interesting

    We were taught miss if unmarried, Mrs if they are married with husband's name, and Ms if divorced or married with maiden name

    Tastings were one of my favorite parts of planning! Are you choosing the flavors or doing a preset one?
