Camp Weed

Hello :)
So, the Camp Weed situation is getting all worked out :) Christine, who I've been communicating with, spoke with her manager last week to see if we could go ahead and reserve the hall for me and they said we could :) So she is working on the contract, and Brian and I are trying to figure out a good time to go down there and get things done :)


This is the dining hall that we're renting (Juhan Dining Hall):

Its a really cool space that I think will look awesome all decorated :)

I'm glad we're getting that out of the way! It was a little stressfull not knowing if I'd have to find another reception venue. It was very unlikely that I would, but its still a relief!


Hope you all are having a good week! I'm off to workout, finish laundry, clean, and start dinner :) Lasagna rolls tonight!

Got my paper samples :)

I got my paper samples from Jean M in the mail today :) They're papers are great! I ordered samples in midnight, fuchsia, white, and pearl shimmer. The midnight is just the right navy, the fuchsia is just the right pink, and the pearl shimmer is a beautiful shimmery white :)

Now, I have to decide whether I want a white or pearl shimmer pocket with midnight invite and midnight and fuchsia inserts, or a midnight pocket with white or pearl shimmer invite and white/pearl shimmer and fuchsia inserts!?! Not to mention pocket style, monogram style, and wording!

I've put together some designs on their website, but don't know how to copy and paste them here (and don't want to put my account info for the whole world to see!) I'll try and figure out an easy way for you guys to see what I'm talking about and give me some feedback :)

If you have some spare time though, go check out the website and tell me which style you like better :)

Hope you all are having a fabulous week!!

Update!

Ok, so I know I've been slacking on keeping this updated :) Took a mental break from planning for awhile :) But here's what I'm working on now:

- I found a company that does invitations that I like, so I don't have to make them afterall! If you get a chance, check out Jean M (www.myjeanm.com) - I'm looking at styles Piper and Stella, in white and midnight, and figuring out a way to incorporate my pink (I'm thinking about finding a cute flourish stamp and pink ink to add after I get them...)

- Since I've found invitations, I gotta get together a guest list so I know how many I need

- And Brian keeps asking for a budget/price breakdown, so I gotta get that together too :)

- And, I've been trying to come up with a good time to go to Florida to take care of some things on that end - pick up my dress (they won't let mom get it, even though they said it wouldn't be a problem when we bought it), maybe take the girls with me to look at dresses, talk to the florist, and hopefully get everything finalized with Camp Weed (which reminds me, I need to email them again.)

Anywho, thats about it :) Otherwise we've just been enjoying each other and taking trips to see family - last weekend was my side up in Minneapolis, and next weekend we go to Texas to see his family!

Hope you all are doing great! Have a great weekend!
