Things have been a little hectic for the past months or so, but better late than never. Here’s a run down of our wedding day: Getting Ready The day started at about 8:00am for me. I stayed the night at my grandmother’s house with two of my bridesmaids and our hair stylist & makeup artist, [...]

Our Wedding Ceremony Video

In: Events

I was thrilled to get an email from Peggy today that included a video of our wedding ceremony. We didn’t have the budget for a videographer, and the ceremony was pretty much a blur because I thought Pete was going to faint at any moment, so this is really exciting. It’s only 5 minutes (we [...]

Pete’s father is generously hosting our rehearsal dinner, it somewhat snuck up on us so instead of ordering invitations I ran down to Target to pick up some DIY invites. I’m actually pretty impressed with their Papyrus and Letter Impress lines. I went with the Baroque wedding invitations (only $35 for 50) and used the [...]

Free Bridal Shower Games

In: DIY, Events, Tools

A couple years ago I co-hosted my sister’s bridal shower. Since she had a pretty sizable guest list I wanted to do bridal bingo to hold everyone’s  attention while she opened the gifts. I searched around online, but couldn’t find any free templates that I liked. I also wanted to do the purse hunt game, [...]

It was wonderful to celebrate with everyone and I’m incredibly thankful to have such a generous family. Mom caught me completely off guard by giving me a family heirloom I’ve [...]
