B & T Wedding: The Day Before
http://bandtwed.blogspot.com/2012/06/day-before.html
Jun 25, 2012. The day before our wedding was a whirlwind. I was up early to get the world's slowest manicure and pedicure with BM Kelly and my MOH. Then it was back home to rehearse my dance with my dad (more on that later! Then back to the salon for an equally slow, but completely amazing, blowout. Then I met up with my MOH and BM Kelly to drive over to the hotel for the weekend. Also, take a little time to think about the structure of the party. We just figured everyone would show up at the restaur...

B & T Wedding: August 2011
http://bandtwed.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Aug 31, 2011. A while back I posted some questionable marriage advice I’d gotten from random people. Now I want to post the only useful advice I’ve gotten, courtesy of my dad (who has been married to my mom for 37 years). It sounds so simple, but I find it deceptively hard. I mean, don't we often automatically and subconsciously put ourselves first? Anyone else find this easier said than done sometimes? Aug 27, 2011. How to Be An Awesome Guest at an Engagement Party*. I am a person who photographs everyt...

B & T Wedding: Precap: Menu DIY
http://bandtwed.blogspot.com/2012/06/precap-menu-diy.html
Jun 19, 2012. Okay so before I get into the recaps, I want to finish my last DIY posts. My personal favorite DIY was the menus I created for our wedding:. Pic by Spark Photography. I had them printed on Opal Stardream cardstock from. Like all my other DIYs. Then, we had to cut down the middle of each page to separate them. I used a corner rounder to round the corners, and then swiped the edges through a gold stamp pad. Are you designing menus? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Precap: Table Number DIY.

B & T Wedding: Shower Gift Idea
http://bandtwed.blogspot.com/2012/05/shower-gift-idea.html
May 30, 2012. Now that my friend Jenn's shower is over with, I can share with you guys the awesome gift that us bridesmaids gave her, because you might seriously want to copy it. Jenn is not always much of a "stuff" person, so instead of getting her a registry gift, we opted for a more out of the box option: a date for each month of the year. I took June, July, and August, and decorated my envelopes with scrapbook stickers:. Gift certificate to apple picking orchard. Central Park zoo tickets. Valentine's...

B & T Wedding: April 2012
http://bandtwed.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Apr 24, 2012. I know there's a lot of debate about favors. Some people think they're unnecessary, and some people (like me) can't fathom. Actually, I have lots of opinions on favors. I'm easily grossed out by homemade jams and similar cooked-at-home-and-packaged stuff, and I also hate donations (Not that I think giving a donation is a bad idea, just that I like to keep that stuff more private, rather than shoving my good deed in everyone's face). We ordered the glasses from. These were really simple:.

B & T Wedding: November 2011
http://bandtwed.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Nov 29, 2011. We finally have bridesmaids dresses! After a uanimous decision by my five bridesmaids, we went with the Alvina Valenta 9866. Oh, you mean you can't tell anything by looking at this ridiculous pose? The girls really looked beautiful in this dress. Since they're all attractive and the dress is fairly straightforward, I assumed they'd look good, but my expectations were exceeded when I actually saw all of them in it. It looked great! Regardless, I'm so happy to have this task done! Nov 21, 2011.

B & T Wedding: Program DIY, Part 2
http://bandtwed.blogspot.com/2012/05/program-diy-part-2.html
May 29, 2012. Program DIY, Part 2. So last week I showed you guys the inside of the programs, and recently my mom, FMIL, and MOH came over to help me complete them, an easy but time consuming task, made a lot more fun by their company. Just our names, wedding date, and wedding location. A heads up if you go this route, it's not exactly budget friendly. 225 covers cost me $186, and that is before the cost of resume paper, embellishments, and tools used. Which I think is a great way to make booklets. T...

B & T Wedding: September 2011
http://bandtwed.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Sep 19, 2011. One thing’s checked off the September to do list: Pre Cana! The diocese was kind enough to squeeze us in, and we got to participate at my home parish, in a Pre Cana led by the deacon who will be marrying us. All Pre Canas seem to be different, so I'll recap ours in case anyone is wondering about what happens. As part of an interfaith couple, it was very comforting to me to hear how these role model couples did, over time, find ways to God together. In the interest of honesty I will admit th...

B & T Wedding: October 2011
http://bandtwed.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Oct 31, 2011. I'm not sure what I thought the reaction to our save the dates would be. Maybe something like this:. Okay, maybe not that psyched. But I did anticipate a bunch of excited phone calls, "the date is SO saved" texts from friends, that type of thing. But we got nothing! It's not keeping me up at night or anything, but after spending money and time on them, I have to admit I was hoping for a few compliments! Oh well. Hopefully the invites get our guests a little more pumped. Oct 26, 2011. I have...
