Progress

Today was a productive day in a lot of ways, unfortunately I was not productive in studying and I have a big exam Monday. However, I've gotten some of the wedding things done/started.

Last night I went over to Corey's house and worked with his mom to address save the dates. Although I still don't have everyone's address, we mailed out about 60 save the dates this morning and I already have addressed 12 or so more. I'm hoping to get everyone's address in the next week. Hoping that I stay organized enough to not accidentally miss anyone! I got these Save the Dates from Vista Print, they had a special going and I paid about $11 (including shipping) for 100 Save the Dates! We got some other save the dates from wedding paper divas.

Corey and I also finally decided on a honeymoon destination! We plan to go to The Grand Mayan in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico. It's a beautiful place! I've never been to Mexico, I'm super excited.

Now we're just working on getting the hotel booked, flights booked, and my passport. :)

My mom and I also stopped in at Mr. Formal and Bridal Exclusives today and checked some stuff out. Found a dress I really like for the bridesmaids potentially. :) It's an Alfred Angelo and I'd have them wear navy. It's not too heavy so it would be fine for August and I think it's cute and a good length.

 

I also may have come to a decision about cake. Corey and I have talked about the cake earlier and we decided to supplement our cake with sheet cake to save money. I think we'll get the sheet cakes from Costco (they have delicious cakes!!) and get a 3-tiered cake from Lamb's Thrift-way. I'll have to double check with Corey when he gets home tomorrow, but I think he'll like it. That will help us save some money but still have delicious cake!

Today I emailed a florist and I'm going to try to set up an appointment with her. My family is going to try to go out to Famous Dave's sometime soon so they can try it, Corey and I are leaning toward having them do our catering. We're still looking for a DJ and someone to video tape. But slowly we're making progress!
