Such A Productive Weekend ... Pics!!

Ashley, on July 9, 2012 at 8:41 AM Posted in Community Conversations 0 16

Happy Monday Smiley smile I got lots done over the weekend. Went for my 2nd dress fitting on Saturday and I have to say I think I felt the best yet in my dress - The alterations are pretty much done & OMG do I love my bustle (wish I got pictures). I got lots of packages in the mail ... Bridal Party robes & earrings (Pic 1). I found & painted signs for my Candy Buffet table (Pics 2 & 3). I also finished my ribbon wands!! How did you ladies do this weekend??

    NICE!!! you got a lot done. I made 2 chalk boards for our photobooth, I got all supplies pretty much for the bathroom baskets, im sending out out initial deposit for cater today, I looked for teal tanks for BM but no luck, as well as socks for our guys no luck. I did a few more of our "Seed packet stamps", we got a pit & watering can for our planting unity ceremony, and I went to BJs club and got water, hershey bars, & packs of cookies & pretzels for our guest hotel bags. Also got 3 earring holder frames done which are gifts for my BMs, almost done my beaded servers, i ran out of beads lol, and we got most of our RBs gift!!...FUN FUN

    Great job Ashley! I love those earrings.

    I printed my wedding programs and my wedding weekend itinerary for the WP and folded them all. Mailed out some last minute invites. Passed out most of my Rehearsal dinner invites and the wedding weekend itineraries for the WP. I sent out a lot of reminders for the rsvp date by text and fb which got me a lot of answers pretty quick. I just told them they could rsvp by phone, text, website or mail, but I had to have them by this coming saturday, with the exception of the late invites, I am giving them an extra week to rsvp.

    Thanks ladies - They are really gorgeous in person I hope my girls love them!!

    Kirst & heavenlyyoyo - You guys got a lot done too!! Kirst I am having the hardest time finding fun socks for the guys!! I have actually been browsing online at work all morning lol. I totally need to print my programs for the fans I am making but I haven't sent my ceremony outline to the church for approval (was supposed to do that this weekend oops)!! My RSVP deadline is this Saturday so I am hoping to get a ton in the mail this week!!

    I did read your post about FH's new bros - That is so exciting!!!! That must have been so much fun getting to hang out with them Smiley smile Our rehearsal is the Thursday before starting at 4:00 and dinner at around 6:00. I have been wondering if I should be sending out actual invites for it or just call people - I want to send invites but FH disagrees (he doesn't think people need another invite from us lol). We are sending out more invites this week too!! How are you doing on RSVP's??

    Wow you did get a lot done this weekend! We were up north for a week on vacation so I only started putting stamps on the response cards and then went and bought the postage today for the invites to be mailed out next month. Also, scheduled the appointment to finalize the menu and finalize everything with the decorator for August 3rd. Oh and last but not least went today and got my teeth mold from my dentist so in a couple of weeks I can start whitening them.

    Nice Ladies, feels so good to get stuff done eh!

    Love the earings and the signs.

    We finally got the majority of our invites sent a few stragglers waiting for addresses but I should get those done this week. We also counted out our mason jars and burlap runners to make sure we have enough for the tables and started our seating chart. Also put in an application for a rental apartment which we got (woo woo!) and we're signing the lease tonight. Very productive weekend! It's all starting to come together, for us.

    @Ashley-I was hoping to see a picture of you in your dress :-) I am in love with those earrings. Fingers crossed for your RSVPs (ours are due this week too-I am only waiting on 63).

    Sounds like everyone else has been really busy.

    FH and I spent the weekend camping/hiking in Michigan's Upper Penisula; it was incredible.

    Everyone had such productive weekends. This was a minimal wedding weekend for this MOB. I made labels for all of the plastic bins.

    I love your earrings, Ashley!
