Things are Happening!!!!!

So yesterday was exactly 4 months from the wedding.  I thought 5 months out felt like crunch time, but this REALLY feels like crunch time.  I got a call from the bridal salon that my dress came in yesterday (yay!) and they also had my veil which they mailed to my mom.  We'll take it with us in June for the hair/makeup trial.  I also started the invitation ordering process, which is another exciting step.

I had a minor panic attack about addressing envelopes.  Because these were the options...

-hand printing 150 envelopes (not my ideal way to spend a summer)
-printing on my own home printer (i can see the messy ink and printer jams now...)
-paying $3 an envelope for custom calligraphy (I like to think of myself as semi-savvy...)

THEN, I found this!

Thank goodness.  They can do all three addresses (guest, return and RSVP) for $1.35 an envelope.  AND she can match the invitation font, which I absolutely love.  I love ways to save money that are still high quality.  I'm using etsy for invitations and this digital calligraphy, so I hope everything goes as planned.

Aren't the invites pretty?

On tap for my June visit to VA:
-hair/makeup trial
-meeting with the florist
-dress fitting #1
-finding a nail salon that can host the girls for Saturday for a little pampering

It's getting close!
