Wedding Paper Goodies

On Saturday Jose, my mom, Jose's mom and I got together to try and knock out a bunch of wedding to-dos. And we did! We got our bands [more on them later], we finished our favors [more on them later] and we completed our table numbers and most of the signs we need for the wedding. We had to run to Michaels for a couple back up supplies and not gonna lie... I finally got really stressed on Saturday but I'm glad things got done. And Friday - it's back on the grind again!

Anyway... thanks to Ms. Elephant on Weddingbee I FINALLY figured out what to do with the photo strips guests would be giving us from the photobooth at our wedding. I've been looking for MONTHS now for the perfect photobook... then Ms. Elephant gave me all the inspiration I needed. Fuck the book, just put it in a box! Not gonna lie but I almost completely ripped off Ms. Elephant's idea and signage but imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. So VOILA!



My red box is from the Container Store and the sign holder is from IKEA [bought 20 of them a year ago] and now guests will just throw their photo strips in our box and I'll just sort it out after the wedding. Perfect! And a close up of the sign...

Then we had to make a sign for the Candy Bar so bam! Done

Aaaaand table numbers!

Eleven to be exact [we have soooo many more guests then we expected coming, we had to add one more table!]

This is progress and I'm really happy. But we still got more to do! On the list for Friday night is:

- print and put menus together
- print and put programs together
- make sign for "card" box
- make signs for bathroom baskets

Aaaand I think thats it. I'm losing my mind. Theres still ALOT to do with this wedding not too far away.

I want candy!!

A month or so ago I mentioned how I really wanted a candy bar at our wedding. Yes its played out... and yes everyone's done it... but I'm pretty positive that NONE of my guests have seen this! So I want to blow their minds. We met with our venue and they are totally hooking it up for us! We are SO having a candy bar [they are supplying ALL the containers!] and not only that but popcorn AND cotton candy! [all for freeee!!] lol Sounds good to me! So now all I gotta do is buy the candy! At first I wanted the "black white and red" candy bar to go with our theme for the wedding. But the more I look... the more the bright colored candy bars are damn cute!

And something I soooo badly wanted but figured this was going overboard

A SMORES BAR!! I'd DIIIIEEE!!

Seriously!!! But no :( that's a bit much. And i don't know where the hell it would go. And we're getting married in April. I think smores... I think summer. [though I will have them right now!]

I'll take you to the candy shoppe!

I've been trying to get Jose into the idea of having a candy bar for our wedding. He's actually saying we "might" be able to do it which sounds awesome. And then last night I was explaining it to my mom and showing her these images... and she was sold! "We gotta do it! It's great! It's cute!" Holla!!

The awesome thing about us having a candy bar at the wedding is our colors would be black, white and red and since ALOT of Valentines candy is red and white - we can buy alot of it at 75% off at the end of February from our jobs at CVS! Right there is a bargain! lol C'mon!! We should do this shit right??
