New Style Board

This week I got a couple of great ideas from Martha and Brides.com. To get to our ceremony site, guests will have to cross a beach dune. I saw photos from a wedding where the dune fence was lined with torches. It will be light out when our guests arrive, but it’s a nice touch. Also - enter the cheapskate bride - it should be easy to score a bunch at the end of summer for a major discount.

I’ve been debating about whether or not to have a candy bar / buffet. It’s a nice touch and we have yet to attend wedding with one, but is it weird to mix my professional life into my wedding? If we do, I’d really like to focus on our wedding colors - blues, white, silver … but that should give us plenty of choices. Don says that unless we get all the candy gratis, we won’t have it … but I think he’s bluffing.

The photo of the ceremony on the beach is actually the exact location where Don and I plan to hold our ceremony.

Monday night, I received a shipping notice on the papers necessary to create our DIY invitations. I’m very excited about it. Yes, I know we have 276 days before the wedding … but it’s going to take some time and effort to make these things, okay?
We have a meeting with the caterer on Friday. If he doesn’t make us too angry (yes, there is reason to believe he might), we’ll be ready to pull the trigger on the reception venue. Whee!
