Alright, I really need to keep up with this. I've been meaning to, but time just flies away without me even realizing it's gone!
A couple of weeks ago we made our way North for Spring Break. While there, Mom and I went to visit a girl about a cake... and we found the perfect person who could make the perfect cake! A few people know what kind of cake, but the rest of you will have to wait and see. I will say this, it is delicious!
We have also been working on flowers. Mom has found a local florist who so far is coming in quite under budget! The flowers are going to be beautiful. They will include pretty cream roses and we're splurging on several orchids! I never thought I'd be able to afford orchids, but we're using just enough to not blow our budget. Very exciting!
The most recent news is that we have dropped off our invitations for printing!! We are hoping to have them back by the end of the week. We also ordered the envelopes today, which I'm really excited about. Now, I'm not a recycled-fiber-everything kind of Green girl... but I am happy with these envelopes. They are 100% recycled paper, 70# paper bag material. They look great! And will go with our colors and theme wonderfully.
We are planning to get the invitations out within the next 2 weeks. That means once the envelopes arrive, I will be busting my... hand, writing all the names and addresses. But it's worth it, I'm really looking forward to it.
We will be ordering our rings soon, so that we can check that off the list of things to do.
Mom is looking for reception decoration and food serving stuff. We're putting together a reception team of some amazing ladies from my life (If you're reading this, and you know who you are, THANK YOU SO MUCH!) who will take a huge load off our minds and make the day just go so much smoother.
The flower girls have their dresses, the bridesmaids have theirs, the groomsman should all have their tuxes ordered.
We're finalizing honeymoon plans and "first night" plans.
We will begin rearranging and moving Jordan's things in soon. Not quite sure how we will fit everything into my little apartment, but it will happen!
That's the biggest news right now. I'll try to do better about updating. (I think I say that every time...) but I really will try!
We love you all, and can't wait to see you in June!
