52 Days to go!!

We are 52 days away from the "Big Day!" I have been working on ordering things we need for the wedding. Today I ordered my garters. I ordered two- one to keep and one for Andy to toss! I have been using Etsy a lot. I love that site. They have so many cool things you can order that come personalized. Also this week I ordered gifts for my ring bearer, flower girl, and my brother who is a groomsmen in the wedding. I had to order him something different than the rest of the groomsmen because he isn't of age to drink.

Today I ordered the rehearsal dinner invites as well. I will be sending those out to our immediate family and bridal party as soon as they come in the mail.

So much more to do! I am trying to make a decision about a unity ceremony. I don't want to do the traditional candle lighting ceremony because we will be on the water and they will not stay lit. I don't really want to do the sand ceremony either. Do we have to do a unity ceremony at all? Can we just make the wedding ceremony sweet and simple?

Wedding Website and Photo App

Our wedding website is created and can be viewed here: http://Timmer-Alcorn.ourwedding.com/!

Also, I decided to use an app called Capsule to collect all the photos that our guests take at the wedding. It is really neat. All you have to do is download the free app on your Android or Apple phone, called CapsuleCam. Then, you put in the code: W2AMH and it will connect you to our wedding website. Then, you take pictures of everything at our wedding and it will upload so that everyone can see! It is a great way to share pictures. It is basically replacing the disposable cameras that used to be popular at weddings. We are in a new digital age.. I love it! 

We will have info on how to download the app at the wedding, but if you are attending go ahead and get a head start and download it now!

60 Day Countdown!

60 days until the wedding!! It is going to be here very quickly! There is still a lot that needs to be done. I haven't had much time to blog lately because I am in the busy part of the semester with school. However, I have definitely gotten some things done since my last post!

Invitations are being sent out. I have already put the first 20 in the mail and am hoping to get the rest out by the end of this week. 

We have planned the bachelor and bachelorette party. Kathi (my sister) is working on the invitations for that. Ali (my Maid of Honor) is busy planning the bridal shower as well. 

This past weekend, I had my dress fitting!! I go back in April to try it on and make sure all the alterations are good. 

I have also been working on the table numbers for the reception. I have this really cute idea that I found on Pinterest. I have these little paper albums that will be on each table. The  guests will answer questions that are written on each page. For example: What is the best marriage advice you've ever received? What should we do for our 1st anniversary? etc.. Each number that is on the front of the album is the table number, but it also represents a year of our marriage. So Table 3 will write advice for us to open on our 3rd anniversary! We are going to make this a tradition so that each anniversary, we open the albums and are reminded of what our marriage should look like. :)
