Damask bookmarks
I saw these bookmarks on etsy and I love them. I love the verse that's on the back of them. I was going to have that read during the ceremony.

Ask a Question
Are programs necessary?
I really don't want to have programs if I don't need them. I'm having a hard time with my order of ceremony and it's just an extra cost that I'm not sure I can afford. What's your opinions?

This invitation is by Staccoto on etsy. It's really nice!

Damask DIY Invitations
I got these from Michael's to use for my after party or second reception because we are having two. They match my place cards perfectly. I'm going to add a smaller lavender ribbon to the black ribbon to add some color and got rhinestones to also add some bling to them.

Ask a Question
How do you become a wedding planner/coordinator??
I hate my job and I really want to become a wedding planner. I like to be active and creative and do fun things, I like to help people and give them my ideas. Not be sitting trapped in an office all day.

Does anyone know how to become a wedding planner?? Anyone else a wedding planner/coordinator??

Where did you register?
Brett and I registered at Bed, Bath and Beyond, Crate and Barrel and Pampered Chef. :0) Brett really liked walking around picking out what he wanted. lol Sucks though that we're married now and my shower is March 7th before our wedding... and we need things now! I told my family that for christmas, to get something off our registry ;)

Ask a Question
What's everyone doing for halloween??
This year I bought a bunch of candy to pass out in our new house. :) I'm really excited. Usually my tradition was to go to my parents and watch scary movies with my dad and pass out candy but now I'm starting the tradition at my house. :) I think I'm just going to where what I am in the picture but with a different shirt. I'll post pics after Halloween of Brett and I :)

Small wedding
October 17, 2008
Brett and I got married on October 17, 2008. We originally wanted to elope but Brett wanted me to have a wedding... hence all the planning. But then my living arrangments changed and I really had no where to live except my parents, living out of a suitcase because we couldn't live together before we were married... so last minute with a week and a half to go, we got our marriage license and the pastor agreed to marry us in the church. :) So we are hopefully still having our wedding in April... but that's why I'm having this "sale" below... I know it's crazy.. but I'M MARRIED!!

Also thanks to annmariebarber (all credit goes to you!), I took the bubbles I already had and wrapped them with the damask wrapping tape that I already had! :) It's nice to get ideas from other people cause I didn't know what to do with this tape I had until I saw her blog! Thanks!!

Ask a Question
Are these things necessary?
I'm sure I have alot of unnecessary things already but is it a MUST to have Tears of Joy, Kid baskets, Bathroom baskets....??

I love LOVE love these ideas but it's just adding more money to our already low budget wedding and I've had a few people tell me that I shouldn't do these.

I especially wanted to tears of joy basket because I was going to buy the little damask kleenex... before the idea was SHOT down. lol

And as for the kids baskets... I'm only have immediate families kids at the wedding. Other than that it's adults only so that to me was ok...

Do I need to have them? Opinions??


<<<<<< LOVE this tears of joy for whoever made it!! I had to post this picture!
