Semi-Productive Weekend

I got home Thursday night to a pleasant surprise! A package had arrived! Inside the package was a couple different things for our centerpieces!!! I had ordered multiples of things in order to set up different centerpieces and then decide which I liked the best. Our centerpieces are basically a ripoff of Heather's - I hope she doesn't mind! I bought two different sized bowls, mirrors, and rocks. It was clear the bigger bowl was just too big and didn't look right on the mirrors, so I'm going to return that, but now I need to buy four more of the smaller bowls. But bonus - I set up the example centerpiece on our dining room table and when Seth saw it, he really liked it! Yay!

So Friday, my friend came over, and we hooked up the new ink and printed out invitations! Just doing that took forever because my current computer doesn't have Microsoft Office and when I tried printing things with Open Office, it ended up looking a little blurry. So I had to hook up the old computer and try again with Microsoft Office (still a little blurry, but better, and I guess as good as it's going to be). After that, I was sick of invitations, so I stopped there.

On Sunday, I got out my invites again and cut them all up so they're ready to go. Now I need to cut out the backings (metallic blue), glue everything together, and attach to the pocket folds (metallic dark blue). Hopefully by the time I'm done, my postage will have arrived (should be soon) and I can send them out! My goal is to have them sent out by August 8th, though if I can get them sent out by August 3rd, that'd be even better.

Over the weekend, my MoH worked on invitations for my bridal shower! I'm so excited! But I'm also feeling stressed because I haven't given people gift ideas yet. Seth and I are fore-going the registry (don't ask), so now we have to get parents and friends a list without being all "get me this." I'm hoping I can give my parents and Seth's parents a list and then my MoH a list and they can distribute to any/all who ask.
