June. Nice to see you! ...now that it's more than halfway through July! Sigh. The joys of bridal brain. Let's pick up where we left off with 6 month sprint posts...
June 2: We took Ant's dad Tony suit shopping, and had AMAZING luck at Jos. A. Bank again. I am seriously loving these men right now. I can not speak more highly of the experience we've had there. and I will simultaneously take all of the credit for being an amazing bargain shopper :) We found him a grey suit that looks good and was on clearance - it was cheaper than the groomsmen suits!!! The jacket was a perfect fit, he just needed pants to be ordered. After that we went right across the street and bought him a shirt and tie at J.C.Penney! We do not mess around people. Father of the Groom - check! I got to spend some quality time with Bettie while we were out, discussing decor options for the rehearsal dinner as well.
June 3: I emailed Jen about some of the "other" paper things for the wedding, to see if she would be able to help! I wasn't sure how to word our rehearsal dinner invite to include all of the necessary details without being wordy, and I wanted to know if she would be able to do our programs for us. I also sent her some address corrections we'd gotten in for our invites.
June 4: Got a response from Jen with suggestions about how to word our rehearsal dinner invite! and proceeded to do nothing with that information immediately.
June 8th: Celebrated our two {-2 months!} by celebrating Stonge and Ina's wedding! We had SO MUCH fun at their wedding - and it made us even that much more excited for ours! It didn't hurt that they are using the same DJ as us, so we were able to use their as a "test run" of sorts! We also got an email from Pat about scheduling our next planning session to finalize all the nitty gritty DJ items. AND that afternoon right before the ceremony we got an email from Marie with the rough drafts of our ceremony!!! It was SO fun and fitting to read through the ceremony options right before going to the wedding ceremony of our good friends.
June 9th: On the way home from our Newport wedding, we drove through Mystic and picked up our invitations!!!! We had a spelling mishap with the envelopes, but otherwise they were absolutely perfect!!! I could not have asked for a more appropriate invitation suite :) Ant got home late from a meeting and we got WAY productive and both picked AND ordered rehearsal invites!! {there are some major benefits to having your fiancé get involved in silly topics like this - he's good at simplifying them and making quick decisions!} I also spent some time with the guest list starting to mock up table numbers, which is hard to do when you don't know who is coming…but at least it got my brain thinking about it. The last thing we did that night was spent some time looking over the ceremonies we were sent. We began editing them, deleting parts we didn't like and highlighting ones we did...to start the process of creating a ceremony we love!
How was your Thursday??? I'll tell you how we spent ours...
