Are The Eyes Glazed Over Yet?

Well not too much to post again. Sometimes I feel like it's the whole 2 steps forward, 1 back. I guess that does mean that progress is getting made but it just doesn't feel fast enough for me. I finally managed to contact the liquor store who is going to give us a quote on alcohol so I'm very interested to see what dollar amount that will be. If we're over $500 he'll throw in free delivery and we can return any un-opened bottles when we're done so I'm happy to hear that. I don't think we'll have any problem hitting the $500 mark!

I've been bugging mom to get our butts in gear and start thinking of the bridesmaid's and flower girl dress. We need to get fabric shopping soon or else they'll be buying some dress off the rack that either looks hideous or costs an arm and a leg and I don't think the girls like that thought. We're going to a wedding show next week which will be my first one with almost all of my girls. I've only gone before with my MOH and my mom so I'm curious to see what the other girls will think of the show. Don't really need anything too major at these shows. I'm still trying to find that royal blue garter though and a necklace I like would be nice. I would like to find out what type of jewelry the girls like in case I want to buy them something for their goody bags. Those are getting fun to shop for! Just have to find the bag next. Kinda an important factor.

I'm looking forward to moving ahead with the invitations. I sat down last night and started tracing out 5x7 squares to cut out. I got about 3/4 done last night (only had an hour) so it should be pretty easy to breeze through the rest. Just need a sturdy rule to cut them with and then we're good to go! I'll be happy when the cutting part is over. Why did I have to choose so many layers again. Oh right it looks good!

Criticism Overload

Oh man do I feel bad...but then I'm sure fiance and my dad do too. On the weekend I finally got all the pieces of the invitations put together for a mock run through. I've been having issues with size and printer boarders so I was really happy to have everything read to print out. So I showed it off all proud and of course I was expecting some criticism but for some reason the two of them going on about the invites made me loose it and I broke down crying. The funny thing is their suggestions were right but I was just so stressed out about everything I thought the world had come crashing down at that moment. But I think I've got the problem fixed now (crossing fingers that the printing will work properly again) and I can move on to the next trial.

Also this weekend I got 25 thank you cards done. These will be for shower gifts or to use after the wedding. I had sketched out a bunch of designs I found online and some of them look very nice but wow are they finicky to put together. So I've marked down which ones were easy to do and looked nice and hopefully I can continue working on them as the weeks progress.

Also hoping to finally nail down a decorator by the end of the week. I've got a few questions to re-ask but I think we already know who we're going with. My only question now is do we really need a ceiling treatment. In the beginning I was adamant that we have this and now I think I would rather save the money. But we'll see what happens. Funny how you change you mind as time goes on.
