Unfortunately nothing really notable to update yet! I'm waiting on proofs from the place doing the invitations, I'll be picking up cupcakes from our baker on Friday to try some more flavors, and we aren't meeting with our florist for another week or so.

I will have something to update on Wednesday afternoon though since that's my ADR day! The only one I'm concerned about getting at a good day/time is Ohana, so keep your fingers crossed for that!

 

[arbolita]

Small update!

I just spoke with my mom and she told me my shower date! (thank goodness because I DID NOT want it to be a surprise!) It's going to be on July 25. This is mainly going to be my family and a few friends, along with Scott's parents. I know his mom wanted to invite a lot of her friends and neighbors, but the shower will be at my grandmother's house, and there is just not room to accommodate them all. So we're going to have to see if she's willing to host her own shower to have them there, or wait and see how many declines we get from my family and invite them late (which I feel is kind of rude and don't want to do).

Also, I found out that I'm supposed to get my invitation proof on Friday, and I'll be picking up some cupcakes to do flavor testing and hopefully pick what we'll have for the wedding =D

 

[arbolita]

As promised, I do have some new things to post today =)

Yesterday we got the first proofs of our invitations. I like them for the most part, but they really need to fix our monogram, since the M completely overpowers our names because of the colors, and I'm not a huge fan of the font of the monogram. The other changes I asked them to make are small things, like adding a period to the end of R.S.V.P, and making the line on the thank you card green, so that we have both of our colors represented on there

 

[arbolita]

This evening I also picked up some cupcakes from our baker to try some other flavor combinations to decide what we want.

Clockwise from top: Vanilla w/ Lemon Mousse, Carrot Cake w/ Cream Cheese Icing, Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese Icing, and Chocolate w/ Peanut Butter Buttercream

Consensus: Chocolate Peanut Butter ones are AMAZING. I also loved the carrot cake. The vanilla cake/lemon mousse would have tasted better if the flavors were switched, and the red velvet cake might be better with vanilla frosting.

 

[arbolita]

Last thing for today =) I also ordered a Wedding Memory book from etsy seller itsmyday



She's going to custom make it, but here are pictures of the color combo I ordered

 

[princess22]

I just found your PJ and everything looks wonderful. I love your dress. Your hair looked gorgeous at your trial run. Those cupcakes look delicious and are making me very hungry. Oh, and I'm glad you're going to Ohana's. It's my favorite. I went there last night for my birthday dinner! MMMM... delicious...

Can't wait to read more!

Thank you for all the compliments! I feel like now that we're getting closer, so many things are happening, so I actually have a reason to post, haha.

I know exactly what you mean! I'm the same way. Only now that I'm just over a month out, I'm so busy doing stuff, I don't have as much time to post!!!

 

[UK Princess]

Plans are looking great!

Well done with the ADRs, I was thinking of you and we got everything that we wanted too!

Awesome, congrats! Just curious, I saw one of your non-ADR days is the 25th - are you spending the day off the parks? That's our Universal day, so i was just curious =)

 

[arbolita]

Here is the invitation with the fixed monogram and our names in a nicer font. The M looks a little gray on the computer screen, but I printed it out, and it actually looks really nice when it's on paper

 

[arbolita]

Invitations are printing today! And they're going to send me an email once they ship =D


I also ordered my earrings last night:

 

[arbolita]

They've arrived!!

Also, this weekend I was at my parents house and I took pictures of the candle holders on the mirrors, so here's an idea of how they're going to look, minus the candy/tableclothes/candles

I have my next dress fitting a week from today, and by Friday my earrings are supposed to arrive! I'm also hoping to order fiance's wedding band this weekend, so that can finally get here.

 

[arbolita]

echo echo echo...


I don't think anyone reads this, but I like updating it anyway =) Plus, tomorrow is my bridal shower and I'm too excited to sleep!


The invitations went out last Monday and we've heard from about 1/3 of our guests so far, and no real issues with them yet! I'm expecting a few to get handed to me also.

I ordered pink pearl necklaces for my bridesmaids, and they came in and look really nice

They're not to wear for the wedding, just for them to have. I know they'll all like them.

My mom also found her dress - this is the only picture I could find of it on a website, and it's kind of blurry

My earrings came in and I love them, and Scott's ring arrived also, and it fits and he really likes it! I don't currently have pics of either of those though, but you can see the shots off the website throughout this PJ

 

[MainStMandy]

WOW! Yay for getting so much done!! I love the invites and the girls necklaces are lovely too!! You must be getting excited...it's getting close!!
