Wasted a Bit More Money

Kelly, on September 24, 2019 at 9:10 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 3

A few days ago I posted about the place cards if they should be handwritten or printed. I wasn't feeling them handwritten - I really, really tried, but I know myself it would have irked me indefinitely.

So today I went onto Minted & did 80 place cards (couples are grouped together on the place cards because of they way they RSVP, I asked the DOC - who is w/ the revenue & she said that the RSVP is quite normal - where they say 1x chicken, 1x seafood but you don't know which entrée is who's, and she said to combine the names as it is easier on the servers) I had no problem as it was a bit easier on my wallet too hehe.

Anyway, after making the place cards (found ones that I like, that was affordable & matched our theme), coordinating accessories came up & one of the coordinated accessories were table numbers. We have table numbers & they are you know table numbers - nothing super special. We really wanted to name our tables after certain restaurants, bars & stores in our neighborhood - but that fell by the wayside, because we realized it would be too confusing for people. Well the coordinating table numbers allowed you to do both name the table (above arch) and have a very prominent number on it. So I named all the tables after our favorite restaurants and they have a big ol' number so people who aren't familiar with our area won't be too confused. Plus the back of the table number allowed us to include a photo so we included our favorite from the engagement shot.

I am so pumped about the new stuff! I love when things fall together. I am just going to give away my previous table numbers (they are opened).

It was a $120 upgrade, which I wasn't too keen on spending at first, but oh well. And Minted will have delivered by the first week of October.

Has anyone else changed their minds on something after it was purchased?

    Yep. Lots of changes to land on the perfect day!

    First, we picked June 8th and planned a beautiful summer wedding: blush pink and greenery.. boho style. Then we realized how hot it would be in June so we switched to October 6th and an edgy glam, black, ivory, burgundy and hints of blush theme.

    THEN... we realized our venue have NO RAIN OPTION after they told us they did. There were giant puddles on the “dance floor” under the tent when we went for the tasting. So... We changed venues 6 months from our wedding date. Lol. Then we had to move the wedding from Saturday to Sunday.. so new save the dates went out... Then we went with a nicer stationary.. but kept the black and ivory theme.. it sounds like we are a couple of spazzes but it took what it took and it’s perfect! Lol

    We also bought our signage from a designer and when my future wife saw it (after we paid) she ended up doing all the design work herself... she did an amazing job!! They match our stationary, numbers, all of it... she’s good ☺️

    I also bought a veil but I’m debating on wearing it... I don’t want it to cover the back of my gown and the train.. so we’ll see! Lol

    Go with the flow! Enjoy the ride! ☺️

    Wow! That’s a lot of change to handle.
    i agree though - June is way too hot & puddles on a dance floor is ridiculous.
    It sounds like everything is going to look amazing though!
    October 6th is so close!
