A Helping Hand

Ack!!!

It's almost October! What's up with that?!?

Mr. H got in on the DIY thing this week.

Look at his handiwork!

Retro post

So it's a high happy birthday to me today. Woot Woot!!

What's that mean?

It means I need to find myself a present. Back in the day I used to "treat" myself to a book from the library as my b-day present.

How about something a little more flashy?

Etsy Wonderland

Etsy darling, have I told you how awesome you are lately?

Let me count the wonderland ways.

Wedsite

So what goes on a wedding website? That's a good question. Here's what mine looks like.

Details Details Details

You've seen the bits and pieces but how about some close up shots.  

Last invite post?  Maybe.

*All the names are changed on the invite. I didn't want to blur anything.

Wrap It Up Already!

The wrapping party!

Putting the Pieces Together

After all the pieces were ready...it was assembly time.

Let's hop to it!

Assembly Required

These weren't the most complicated invitations to put together even though the entire process, from design to mailing, took about 9 months. And umm... I'm going to be posting about these like all week. Sorry?

Here's how it went down.

Time flies...

when you're sending wedding invitations. 

We mailed them out last week Tuesday and by now most of our guests should have received them. RSVPs are trickling in. Huzzah!! There are a few stragglers I still need to send out but a girl's got to buy postage first. Doh!

I now present our wedding invitations! 

Music to Entrance to

ETA: Lil Sis wrote the most amazing post on the cake blog today. Please go check it out. Warning: It might make you drool on your keyboard.

-=---=-=-=-=-=-=
Well I think I've found the perfect song to entrance to. We'll probably choreograph a little something-something for it. 

I put up the video because a) it's US Open time - Go Tennis! b) it's cute and funny.  

'nuff said now watch the video.

So maybe this song isn't your cup of tea. You want some other options?

Happy Bloggerversary. . .

I started this blog a year ago today. My how time flies! It's been pretty awesome. I've met some cool blogger brides and I love following everyone's blogs and reading their comments.

It's retro time! 

Musical Musings

This isn't our first dance song but I thought it might make a cute choice for an alternative thinking couple who wanted to do more than just sway.

 

The lyrics are what really sell this one for me:

September is National Preparedness Month!

In the wake of Hurricane Irene, which has caused widespread damage up the East Coast, I encourage everyone to use this month to think about making yourself and those you care about better prepared for all types of emergencies.

FEMA is an excellent resource for information about preparedness but you should also check with your local emergency management office/agency for info specificc to your area.

For all you NY city dwellers
