Check them out!

Here they are!!
I am almost done with them. I just need to get them weighed and put postage on the envelopes.I have been finishing them up and assembling them all evening. I have about 65% of them assembled and will have them finished by Tuesday! Feels SO terrific to have this BIG project done. After all I have been working on them since December.

I couldn't be happier with how they turned out.
I'm so excited!


Most of the invitation parts.

Part of my assembly line.

USA USA USA


This is totally not wedding related but I just love the Olympics!! Ben and I spent some quality time together on Saturday night watching the Olympics and eating a big bowl of ice cream. We've been cheering on our favorites every free moment we have and tonight was no different. Shaun White, Kimberly Derrick, Shani Davis, and J.R. Celski are among our favorites. Our National Anthem is currently being played as USA takes another gold in snowboarding and I can't help but tear up! I'm so excited for all of these athletes and I love watching some of the greatest moments of their lives! GO USA!

4 Months!

Four months left until our wedding! The months are truly flying by which means we have been very busy!

Tuxes
Ben and two of our groomsmen picked out the tux style this afternoon. Now the rest of the guys have to get measured and then we are all set! Feels good to cross off another big item. I was not able to make it to the appointment with them but I trust that what they choose will be great! I believe Ben said something about lime green tuxes.... haha

DJ
Our DJ is booked and paid for in full! Another big item completed! Want to check them out? You can at http://digneitbrothersproductions.com. And we got a discount just because I chatted with them at a bridal show. Yeah!

Registry
We are finishing up our Target registry tomorrow morning and our Kohl's one has been done for months now. This isn't Ben's favorite part.. but he's been a great sport plus he likes being in control of the scanner.

Rehearsal Dinner and Day After Brunch
We have figured out almost all of the details as of last weekend. We just needed a place to hold both and we found a FREE location last weekend! :)

Reception Decorations
We ordered all of the decorations for our reception and they should all be here soon.

So many things are finally falling into place and I couldn't be happier.

And now for some pictures....


My work station for embossing the invitation inserts.
The inserts are all printed and cut, now I am finishing them.


Most of these are done, finishing them up this weekend!

All the pieces of the invitations waiting patiently to be assembled.


We are putting out Andes Candies on the tables.
5lbs of chocolate is currently sitting in my fridge.
They came in the mail today.
What a great 4-month gift!

A mock table layout.
The fabric used here was some scraps from another project (see below).
Our table markers aren't done yet but you can get a good idea of what they look like.
The Andes are going to be down the middle of the fabric.

I got a chance to try out the sewing machine I got from the moms at my bridal shower.
I love it!!
I made a pillow case for Ben's knee pillow he got for Christmas! :)
