Guest Book Alternative

I like the idea of using a card catalog as a guest book alternative.  It also gives a nod to my mom the librarian.  The card catalog would also be very functional for after the wedding for addresses and recipes!

making progress!

With my Vistaprint savings in hand, I ordered our Save the Date cards last week!  We also decided on the invitation we want (see this post) and I've been in contact with the designer.  I have a slew of Etsy purchases to make over the next few months!  But the biggest news for us is that we finally have secured our date with the Church!  What a relief that was.  I'm going to use more of my Vistaprint coupons to order the invites and the RSVPs once I get the design.  My mom said she would help me address RSVP cards when she is visiting so hopefully we get them by then!

Here Comes The Bride

I love the idea of having Asher carry a "Here Comes The Bride" sign. So cute! Here are some examples...

my map!

So I decided to try my own hand at making my own custom map, similar to the one that I posted before and here it is! I think it came out pretty good. I'm going to include it in the invitation and in the welcome bags. On the back will be directions from the hotels to the Church and from the Church to the reception site.
