Los Hermanos: Couple's Shower

This past weekend Robert and I had our Couple's Shower that was generously hosted by his parents at Los Hermanos. We had most of our family/lake/deer lease friends there, and my parents finally got to meet everyone who I've been getting cray cray with over the past 5-6 years! It truly is overwhelming the amount of support that we have from all of our family and friends, and I'm just lucky that I found a fiancĂ© who has such a great family and tight knit group of friends that welcomed me with open arms. 

I think my face is just now getting back to normal-I was almost sore this morning from smiling and laughing so much yesterday, and it really is just a great problem to have! Robert's parents and his sister had such a great set up too-from the bridal dress cake to the bride and groom cake pops (that were so SO delish and I failed to get a pic of, wahhh), which were all homemade. I'm a sucker for the little things and all of these sweet little things are so cute and make my heart happy. 

I cannot thank everyone enough for coming out to celebrate in some way or another, stemming back from last January when we first got engaged, and it's just going to be a blast in just a few short weeks when this all becomes REAL! 

Friday afternoon we had our meeting with the venue to go over everything, so yea, this is happening-like for real.

[[Also, check out these super cute goodie baskets that my future MIL made for the winner of the games-I swear they should all go into a wedding shower business or something!]

I will probably be saying Thank You to anyone and everyone for probably the next 5 years. Come on, April!

Hair today, gone tomorrow!

Well. I did it. Took the plunge. Jumped off the band wagon. And I feel....about 8-9 inches lighter!  And the not so pretty before photo (just looked at all that fried straw!):  #shorthairdontcare 

Wedding Invites: DIY

During my wedding planning, one of the things that I was most "sticker shocked" on was how much wedding invitations cost! I looked everywhere (and I'm talking everywhere: Etsy, Michaels, Target, Pinterest, any online shop, etc.) for ones that I liked that were cute, not too elaborate, and at a reasonable price (meaning not $300-600). I mean, it's a sheet of paper, envelope, stamp, and RSVP basically. It wasn't until I found this DIY that I finally had a possibility for what we were wanting to use for our invites, and I think they turned out great (for a DIY).  2 Invites could be made from 1 sheet of paper. I printed the actual invite on Vellum paper, and then put it over the card stock.  Here's what you need:  FREE Template 1 pack of 100 sheet Card Stock Paper-I got mine from Michaels because it was shimmery but not too blingy 1 pack of white vellum paper (I got mine at Staples) Ribbon in color of your choice Hole Puncher Scissors Half

Winter is Coming..so is a Wedding!

Burrrr! Today is a balmy 40 degrees outside-and I'm definitely not ready for it despite my scarf-wearing, boot shopping fashion choices since September, hoping to "force" Fall to actually happening, but now that it's here: go away! Or at least just get a liiiitle bit warmer, so I can still have fun in my dozens of scarves and boots, but not freeze my ass off. Ka-peesh? My parents like to kindly remind me of what's to come in December, since we are going to the Army-Navy football game in Baltimore. Last year in Philly was just awful (and by awful I mean freezing, rainy, icy, cold, hungry, wet, sweaty, repeat) but a blasty blast being in a new city and living through new memories being made.  Any hoo-Even though I'm not snuggled up at home on this festive Veteran's Day (thank you to everyone who has served!), warm in my bed, I still wanted to touch on some wedding related topics: vendors. This could also be fun to read AFTER the wedding in April, to loo
