60 day countdown update.

This morning, Kent called for me and I walked into the living room to find him trimming the edges on the maps that will go in our wedding invites. He asked me how I wanted it done and I showed him. A few minutes later I looked at how he was doing and the edges around the border were all different sizes, just not right. “It doesn’t have to be perfect,” he said. I replied, “If you’re not going to do it perfectly, can you not do it at all, because I would rather just do it myself.” He laughed at me and fixed them. I’m trying not to be an anal bride, but it’s hard sometimes…

My friend Amanda came over today and, like any friend of mine who has walked through these doors in the past couple weeks (thanks Jen and Larissa!) she got roped into helping with invites. We had one setback when the postie told us that mayyyybe our rsvps would go through the mail as postcards with just regular stamps, but really we should put them in envelopes or double the stamp value on them. We went for envelopes. I really don’t want to risk all my rsvps being lost in the mail or sent back to the senders. Disaster! But overall I am very very happy with them and excited to get them sent out, hopefully tomorrow! I love being so involved in making them and am starting to decide what my next project will be. Favors, I think.

Our stag and doe is June 27th (our three year anniversary!) near London, Ontario. So if you live in the area we would love to see you there! Let us know if you need more details. My bridesmaids, family and Kent recognized my high stress level about it from my post two weeks ago and are being super helpful. Sometimes I try to do things all on my own and I forget that I have so many people willing to help. I remember last year my boss saying to me on one of my reviews, ”You never ask for help!”  I guess it’s my tragic flaw.

I leave you with a beautiful photo that I found on Lauren’s tumblr, which I reposted on my tumblr. We my need to replicate this at our wedding reception.
