I'm bored with my hair

I know with everything else I should be working on, my hair should be the least of my concerns right now. But I can't help it. I've been bored with my hair for close to a year, and I know exactly what I want to do. I just didn't want to do anything too drastic before the wedding.

Since I've decided to do it, I have my appointment scheduled in mid-June, I think I'll share it here.

That's right. I'm going to do a pixie cut. I'm so freaking excited!! What do you guys think? Too drastic?

RSVP Count

Another week has gone by and our RSVP's are slowly coming in. Very, very slowly. So far, this is our count:

Total Invited: 165
Can't wait to party: 60
Party Poopers: 6
Still undecided: 99

Since I'm checking the mail every day, it is a bit discouraging to see that there's one or two in there. So come on people! Send them back!

Favors: Part I

Wedding favors are the type of thing that people will either think are really cute or really dumb. I've noticed that when a couple decides to go with an edible favor, guests seem to like that better than some cutesy little nick-knack. So Austin and I decided to do little boxes of chocolates and miniature wine bottles.We both love wine, and who doesn't like chocolate??

I was able to find all of the boxes for the chocolates several months ago and I've just had them sitting in a box with other wedding related items until is was time to actually start putting them together. A couple weeks ago, I ordered personalized M&M's with our names, date and two pictures on them. I was able to get them in our wedding colors, so I was pretty excited about that little bit of personalization. I've been working on them for about three days now after work and they're done! It was a process and very tedious, but they look super cute! At least, I think so.

A little orange tissue paper just to add a little extra color

That's right, we're on M&M's

All they need is a little ribbon to finish them off!

All packed up in a box and ready to be taken to the venue day of!

Programs

I've been trying to decide for a couple weeks whether it was actually worth my time to make the programs myself. I've had them all typed up for a couple weeks now, I just couldn't decide how I wanted them to be printed. I had bought all of the paper months ago in anticipation that I would actually be the one to do them all, but with all of the last minute details I've been working on, I wasn't sure if it would all just be too much at the last minute.

Well, I decided to suck it up and do them myself. I already bought the paper, why waste it?! And I didn't really want to have to spend an extra $250 on programs.

I bought a couple packs of the HP Brochure Paper in order to give them a more professional look and I didn't want to use something as thick as cardstock or as flimsy as regular paper. Next up, create a basic MS Word document and create two columns. After that, just input any information you might want to include! I think they ended up coming out quite nicely!

Now to finish printing another 100 of them or so and I'll be able to check one more thing off of my to-do list!!

RSVP Count

Well, another week has gone by and we really haven't gotten more RSVP's back. So far, our counts are:

Invitations sent out: 165
Can't wait to join us:  51
Party poopers: 4
Lolly gagging:110

I know that is really not a bad start, especially since our RSVP date isn't until April 25th, but I'm still stalking our mailbox always hoping for more.
