The Details...

We are officially 2 weeks from the wedding and I am feeling really good - I feel like I have most things done or planned.  This week I've been working on the stationary/printed items.  After we made the seating charts I started the place cards.  I printed them all on cardstock and then just had to cut them out - which required a paper cutter, corner rounder, and scissors.  Talk about TEDIOUS!  Our RSVP is at 165 - doing anything 165 times gets tedious!  I really like how they are turning out though so that's good.  One road bump in completing the place cards - we had no power when I was doing them so I had to stop when it got dark.  I was on a roll and haven't picked them up to finish since....!  

Yesterday I had our programs printed.  I decided to get them printed at Office Max because I needed them divided into thirds and didn't want to have to do it myself - the thirds is hard to get exact and I would have been too perfectionist about it.  Office Max was awesome - took 15 minutes and they were printed and cut.  BEST decision I could have made - so worth the money and avoided frustration.  Now, I just need to round the corners.  I really think rounding the corners makes them look more finished, so away I go - 1,440 corners.  I finished 960 yesterday.  Oh, and I have to bind them with a fastener - not sure how to do that so I will wait until Laura gets here and we'll figure it out together.  (Pics of both the placecards and the programs to come soon...)

Finally, I am nervous about receiving all of the items I've ordered.  I ordered our guest book on May 8th (7 weeks before our wedding).  The seller on Etsy, Envelope Guest Books, listed 2 weeks for production time.  A follow up email listed 4 - 6 weeks.  I still haven't received the guest book (June 15) and the seller now says it will be sent next week.  I hope I get it!  And I hope it's in good condition.  Reading the shop reviews, this is a trend.  LESSON LEARNED - read Etsy shop reviews!!!  (I always do on Ebay but haven't on Etsy...)  I am also waiting on the garter, but that wasn't ordered until June 1.

So I will be working some today and then off to the wedding of our good friends Matt and Emily!  CONGRATULATIONS to them!  I can't believe we're to this point - time has flown by!  Before I know it, people will be in town and we'll be days before, not weeks!
