Wedding planning : Invitations

Wednesday, April 20, 2016

When people start planning wedding, one of the first things they look at are

save-the-date-cards and invitations! Who isn't excited to pick those out?

There are so many things to decide on; paper invitations, RSVP cards, online invitations,

handmade invitations, one-of-a-kind-invitations & DIY invitations. There is also colors to think about, fonts, styles, inners, ribbons and so much more.

We went ahead and decided to make our own, I designed, drew, printed, and put together

these invitations with Cheyne. It took a while but we made it fun.

I am in love with them and they were much cheaper than the $600-$800 invitations

you order online, I feel like they also add a personal and neat touch.

You can also make them as formal or casual as you'd like.

We opted to put the RSVP on our wedding website, to not waste paper or stamps.

You can go online to multiple different sites to customize small

touches like personal seals and address labels. My grandma went online and found the

forever stamp on the USPS website to add that extra bit to the envelope.

These little details helped to add that finishing touch.

XOXO,

Chey

What To Do Wednesday: Wedding Planning!

Wednesday, October 14, 2015

Imagine you... just realized you only have 8 months until your wedding!

You are sending out the save the date cards... and.... Going wedding dress shopping.... you also have the venue rented..

... What do you do ?! YOU HAVE NOTHING DONE! ...

That is how i felt last weekend. I suddenly realized it was way closer than I remembered!

I am not the "Bridezilla" type, actually my wedding is pretty laid back.

I want everyone to just have fun at my wedding!

I want it on the beach, at night, like a bonfire. With S'mores and Kebabs! (Yummmm.)

No crazy family drama, No weird freak outs, No panics, Just relaxed, have fun good times.

That's what I have always imagined my wedding being..

So what I did was I started really thinking about who I wanted to be in my bridal party!

I had SO many questions, how many people? big? small? same dresses? different dresses? traditional? contemporary? what am I supposed to do!?!?

On top of not knowing exactly what to do, I am a bit of a control freak, but not in a bad way. I love to do things, I don't know how to explain it. I just really love doing things the way I want to do them, that in mind everyone wants to help me! lol so I have been learning to release the reigns and let others do it for me. I am quite the perfectionist.
