Progress!

Well this weekend was a lot of wedding progress. While my dad and Christopher departed to Vegas, my mom and I got busy getting wedding stuff done! The boys left on Saturday and my mom and I worked on the save the dates. They came in on Friday or Saturday so we worked hard so we could get them mailed. They really turned out fantastic!!! And they were super cheap. Christopher found this website that does publication work at the fraction of the price of most other companies. Everything is practically free! We got 500 save the dates for less than $40. Amazing. We got a final guest list put together (minus a couple missing addresses) and got the save the dates addressed so we could mail them today.

Sunday we worked on the centerpieces. We are using 4x6 wooden frames with vellum pictures of Christopher and I. We are putting three of them together in a triangle with a votive in the middle that makes the photos glow. They are stunning. I am so impressed with how they came out. Neither my mom or myself had our cameras because the boys took them, so I will get some pictures when they get back and show yall how awesome they are. We put 40 of them together (so 120 frames) and it was pretty easy. My aunt Tammi was there to help us put them together as well. She is amazing!!!!! I appreciate her help so much and I love her to death! Both my mom and Aunt Tammi think we should do more frames because the tables seat 4 and they think there should be a centerpiece on every table. I am not sure that we should do 60 more because I don't know if we necessarily need to have all of the tables covered because there are so many of them. I think 20 more would be good. What do yall think? 20 or 60 or something in between?

It was such a productive weekend. I know that my mom probably wouldn't have preferred to spend every minute of her weekend working on wedding stuff, but I am so glad she did. I had so much fun with her and my aunt Tammi and I am so glad that we got so many things done.
