Wedding Plans

Posted by: typealice In: Daily|Wedding


Lately it’s been taking me the better part of an hour to fall asleep because all I can think about are the designs for our wedding invitations.

Yes, folks, it’s true, we’re still getting married. We actually even set a date (mentioned in my last entry, I know). Sunday, July 27!

Yesterday I mailed the contract and a deposit to the people that we’re renting the cottage from (see the picture). Last weekend we took the trek out into the middle of nowhere with my folks to look at a couple of different places. The first one we looked at is the one we chose. The Hummingbird’s Nest is the location of our wedding. The runner up offered a bigger cottage (nice in case of rain- GOD FORBID), but the grounds weren’t as nice and there was a neighbour right next door, and I’d like to have our wedding party as discrete as possible.

The cottage sleeps six, and it’s fine with us if a few particular people want to sleep inside the cottage, just not on the wedding night for OBVIOUS reasons. There’s an empty lot beside the cottage where people can pitch tents.

Today I’m off to buy cardstock to start making our invitations. I’m so excited that the ball is finally rolling, after two years of being engaged.

It looks like a lovely setting. Cute name too! I’ve been thinking about investing in a letterpress and doing invitations for weddings. Scary thought!

Ahhhh, it makes me flash back to when I was making up my own wedding invites so long ago… shudder… I’m sure this is a MUCH happier time for you

Yes, we’re quite happy! Even though I can’t stop dreaming about the invites… which are now complete and in a matter of minutes, I’m heading to the printers!
