I can't believe how close the wedding is! We're talking about plans that are happening NEXT week! So weird!
Matt's aunt and uncle bought us the tv stand that will match our (to be bought) bedroom set! It won't be available until the 16th, so we have to pick a day to have it delivered. (After the honeymoon, obviously.)

Altered State

222 invited
127 attending
34 declined
RSVPs today:
-my proxy godfather, Joel, and his wife, Stephanie
-my high school friend, Missy
-my college friend, Adri, and her boyfriend, Neal
I ordered a pretty (and sexy) satin nightie for the wedding night/honeymoon from Frederick's of Hollywood last night! Here's a picture, only I ordered it in black:
I had my alterations appointment tonight! Shannon went with me to take pictures as well as have her dress altered. Mine will be about $290, including a steaming to make the tulle look better. It's about half of what I would have paid at Alfred Angelo. Here's a great picture of the two of us:
Someone bought our panini press off our registry today! I'm wicked excited because that was one of our favorite items!!

Third day in a row with no RSVPs. It makes me so sad when I open the mailbox and there are none.
I ordered Matt's gift today! It was only $22.95 and shipping was free! It should be here in 5 or less business days! I'm going to give it to him before the wedding, since it's for the honeymoon, so he can actually use it!
I don't know if I mentioned it the other day, but someone bought our camera for us off our registry! It's one of the few gifts I'm going to search for after the wedding so we can use it on the honeymoon! Here's a picture:

I also finished spray painting the rocks last night! They came out great!

Shower Exchange
83 days
218 invited

Matt and I did some serious spring cleaning today! It was rather necessary due to the vast amount of gifts we got yesterday and crap we had in the house. We got rid of boxes and clothes we didn't need and made room for what came from the shower. We spent a good 5 or 6 hours going through the closet and kitchen and made room for (almost) everything! THEN we went to Bed, Bath, & Beyond to exchange the two servers and wine glasses that were duplicates. Here's what we got:
The flutes, grocery bag holder, and salt shaker and pepper mill were on our registry and I wanted a better can opener and the potato masher is something we need.
I bought somethings for the bridesmaids (I really am spoiling them): a deodorant for each to keep in their clutch, two Wisp toothbrushes, and each a pair of underwear from Victoria's Secret in their color!!
And now, I'm going to start working on thank yous for the shower gifts!

Last Man Standing

I FINISHED THE LAST BOUQUET!! All seven of them are done which means that ALL of the "flowers" are done! SO EXCITED!! Here is a picture (for more click here):
I also had my hair trial this morning! I have pictures (that I have to keep for the big day) that I'll post below!
Looking at the pictures now, I want more hair around the sides of my face. I don't look how pulled back it looks from the front.
We got more gifts off the registry, but I'm too lazy to post pictures. However, they were the luggage set, the serving spoons and forks, and another serving piece for veggies.
Jess and Shannon helped me pick through the M&Ms for the favors to get rid of the brown ones. It didn't take as long as we thought but we may need to buy more in addition to the purple and pink. After I get the boxes, we'll see how it goes!

Planning Potpourri III
100 days
207 invited

Our RSVPs today were from:
-my aunt, Alicia, and her husband, Frank
-my gramma (dad's mom)
-Matt's college friend Erik (one of the ushers) and his girlfriend, Sophie
-my high school friends, Greg and Liz (he's one of the readers)
-my college friend, Caitlyn, and her fiance, Anthony
-my gram's brother (on my dad's side) and his wife (decline)
With these regrets, we're able to invite Matt's dad's half sister and one of my coworkers.
We got in some of the centerpiece stuff we ordered this past weekend: the white flower candles and the white gems, both for our sweetheart centerpiece.
Saturday is my hair trial! I keep forgetting (I know I have an appointment, but it slips my mind that it's also for the trial) and they called to confirm today! I'll be sure to take some pictures! (Two of my bridesmaids are going with me, so we'll have cameras galore!)
We got an email that another item was purchased for us off our registry! The Mikasa vases that match the fine china we want were ordered! Here's a picture:
On a non-wedding related note, Matt and I went and saw the condo tonight. It is beautiful! The only problem with it is that they don't allow pets. I emailed the company that owns them and asked if there was any way that we'd be able to keep our cats. The condos aren't rented and our cats are quiet and indoor as well as spayed and litterbox trained. I'm praying it might be okay.
Tomorrow, our order from Vistaprint with the menus in it will be coming in! I'm so excited to finish that project! My parents anniversary party invites will also be in there, so I can start addressing them!

I have been getting texts, tweets, and emails about people already receiving their invitations! The people in Rhode Island got theirs on Thursday, the day after I sent them! Friends and family in Massachusetts, New York, and New Jersey told me yesterday they got theirs! I can't believe how fast they went out, especially since they're pocketfolds! I just need to buy a box that I can sort the RSVPs in!
I am ordering two photobooks from Mixbook with a Groupon deal I bought. The first is about the wedding party: each page has pictures a small blurb about our girls and guys. I did the pages in the color they are for the wedding, so it's really cute. The second is for the bridal shower; I saw a book from Etsy on Pinterest that said "I knew they would be together forever when..." on the cover. It was supposed to be used as a guestbook and I really loved the idea. So I used some pictures of Matt and I to fill half the pages and left the other half free for people to write on. I'm going to have my family use it at the shower (I'm pretty sure women will be better at this than men anyway).
I bought one more Living Social deal for Vistaprint to finish ordering our thank yous! It's $10 for $50 worth of products which will be perfect for the thank yous and any other last minute things we may need.
I'm now going to check up on our registry and hopefully add a luggage set that will get purchased for us!

The Final Insert
124 days
Currently working on: ceremony programs (100/200 done)
I forgot to mention the other day, that another person bought a gift off of our registry! We're getting a set of our dishes from Corelle! I'll post a picture of them as well as our flatware!
I'm also ordering out menu inserts for the wedding! I'm waiting on the menus for the table because I want to finalize the whole menu with the Biltmore. The inserts, though, will only have the two meal options which we've chosen. I'm so excited that I'll be able to completely finish the invitations! Then we'll buy stamps and send them out!
I forgot to mention that I ordered some of the frames for the escort card display from Walmart! I got the one for the family and the four (they were a package) for Matt and my work friends, my high school friends, and dance friends.

Mail Delivery Failure Notification
130 days
Currently working on: pocketfolds (62/130 done)
I got home, all excited because I'd be able to start working on our programs since they were supposed to come in today, and found a stupid USPS slip that I have to pick it up tomorrow after 10. I have never had a problem with them delivering these packages to us and so I have no idea why this one couldn't be left here. Ugh, now I have to get through another whole day to get the programs and invitation envelopes.
I did, however, go to Staples and pick up the copies of the latest newsletter. While I was there, I picked up a hole bunch for the programs so I can start working on them tomorrow when they come in.
I also got a message back from the Etsy seller doing my corsages and I ordered and paid for them tonight. I'm planning on sending out the fabric scraps tomorrow so she can start working on them!
I don't remember if I posted about this, so I'm going to now. I apologize if it's a repeat. A week or so ago, I got an email saying that someone had purchased an item off of our registry! One of my family members ordered two sets of the silverware that we wanted! I'm so excited!
I also received an email today that our rings were shipped! I can't wait to get them in!
Now I'm going to continue working on the pocketfolds since I've put that off for a while.

From the Registry to Our Home
173 days
Matt and I are back home in Rhode Island now! We got to scope out the gifts the other got from their families. Matt's godparents gave us a six-use cake dome from Bed, Bath, and Beyond that was on our registry and I have been wanting for months! His parents got us a GREAT Calphalon knife set and block as well as a TON of candy! My grandparents gave us money that we'll be able to use towards the chapel. My parents got me Pampered Chef martini glasses that match the wine glasses I already have. Matt's parents bought him a really nice watch (that he's told me he'll only wear on special occassions because he loves the one that I got him for everyday use) but it has to be resized. My siblings got me a candle holder and some candles to go with it from Yankee Candle that I LOVE.

I was talking to Matt last night before bed and he was telling me that his parents got us the knife set that we had wanted and was on our registry!
My parents had us open the gifts that got both of us yesterday, as well. They got us the toasting flutes from Mikasa that we want for the ceremony! They also got us a $50 gift card for Kay Jewelers to help us buy our wedding rings!

I'm currently going through our registry trying to weed out things that I want (or need) to buy before the shower/wedding. I've asked for a couple for Christmas, like a paper shredder, and I want to buy some others (blankets for the couch and loveseat) soon. I like that I used an all-in-one registry, but ever since they updated, I've been having SO many issues keeping it in the the order I want it. That's all really. Oh, except that I found these shoes and I need to buy them and use them for something:
