Disclaimer: For all y’all not following my wedding planning antics over on TweetMyWedding<\/b><\/a> Tuesdays, I’ll try to remember to post them all here.  Unfortunately I’ve been seriously lagging at that and so there’s going to be in flux… apologies!
+++++<\/p>\n

Tweet: our wedding photo dump ShutterFly site is all set up. too early to order the cards & invites? i’m totally itching to order my pretties.<\/b><\/p>\n

Tweet: if i have your email address, chances are you just got the “gimme your mailing address” email. #feelingproductive<\/b><\/p>\n

This past week has seen a dramatic upswing in actual wedding plans. Sure I play around a lot with DIY projects and dress options, but this week we worked on the reception party guest list. That’s huge for us. Up to this point, it’s been word of mouth for Vegas invitees. I’ve made all the paper products already and just need to hit submit on Overnight Prints<\/b><\/a>. However, it’d totally be my luck that I’ll order 100 of everything only to go over and have no buffer for mess ups. Right now we have about 55 address labels, but are still waiting for a good chunk of addresses.<\/p>\n

Currently the items in my shopping cart, including shipping, total $93.60. Not bad for 100 announcements, 100 reception invitations, 100 RSVP cards, and 200 “photo dump” cards. I really want to order them at the same time to avoid duplicate shipping charges.<\/p>\n

Tweet: looks like we’re doing soaps as reception favors. yay for trade & crafty friends!<\/b><\/p>\n

I designed a logo for a friend’s business cards and website recently. In return, she offered to make us homemade soaps in our colors and any scents we choose. I’m picturing Japanese lanterns, twinkle lights, cherry blossoms, orchids and other fun touches on our extremely casual Miami reception party. The soap molds I tentatively picked out are flip-flops, palm trees, and an assortment of flowers. I still need to pick the scents as the colors will obviously be orange and blue!<\/p>\n

Tweet: do i buy or wait? don’t want it to increase, but also don’t want to get screwed. 2r\/t tickets Ft.Laud-Vegas for $501.80<\/b><\/p>\n

The airfare really makes me nervous. Our hotel suite is booked already for 4 nights at just shy of $600. Booking another $500 for airfare is just nerve-wracking! I’ve heard booking mid-week is the best time to book flights, price-wise. What do y’all think, is $500 a good price for 2 round trip airline tickets? <\/p>\n

Also, not wedding-related but still a huge accomplishment… I am days away from being an MBA graduate from East Carolina University<\/b><\/a>!! It’s been 5 very, very long years in the making. It’s significant as I began the program before I even met my wonderful fianc\u00e9.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
