I got the package from Oriental Trading in today! It was chock full of goodies! It had the black gift bags, so Matt and I put together the groomsmen gifts and the gifts for our parents. It also had the bags for the kids which are HUGE and wicked cute! The sunglasses for the wedding party and the bags for the cookies in the out of town bags were also included. Most important, though, were the favor boxes! They're the perfect size and I'm excited to start them soon!
Matt and I picked up the package from the UPS center today, too, which was from Crate & Barrel. It's the I Spy holders, which are perfect!
I got an email today that the clutches for our moms were shipped today! I can't wait to see what they look like!
Yesterday I ordered the jewelry for our readers, greeters, and gift bearers. That is OFFICIALLY the end of buying gifts! Now I'm just waiting on Matt's gift to come in! I'm so excited about it!

RSVPs (from yesterday): only one and it was a decline from Matt's uncle and aunt from Kentucky. They are going to be out of the country on June 16!
I ordered several things from Oriental Trading last night, totaling $73 (with free shipping). I got the small black gift bags for the groomsmen's gifts, the totes for the kids' bags, sunglasses for the wedding party (for photos), the cellophane cookie bags for the out of town bags, and, most importantly, the boxes for the M&M favors! It was one of the larger purchases I had to make, so I'm glad it's out of the way.
I also ordered another dress from Charlotte Russe for the honeymoon. I HAD to have it since it's ORANGE! Here's a picture:
I'm also ordering little place card holders for the I Spy cards for the wedding. They're from Crate and Barrel and they went on sale! Perfect!
I finally found some argyle socks for Cole! I had bought all the groomsmen a pair in their color from Express and he's too small for theirs. I ended up finding a pair from Brooks Brothers (didn't know they even had a kids section) for $12. They've got just a little pink, so they aren't too much either.
AND I'm ordering the cufflinks for the two readers, Greg and CJ. I found a nice pair on Amazon that are very versatile. Here's a picture:
And I'm ordering the new cufflinks for Matt that I found a couple posts ago!

The Day After
Never forget 9/11/01
The engagement party was great! We had a really great time and there were quite a few people there. My family, as always, made a TON of food and everyone loved it! We also had way too much alcohol; my grandfather left drunk last night throwing the out the F-bomb every other word.
One of my bridesmaids, Jessica, made a Jeopardy game that the wedding party played. It was a lot of fun and everyone playing was a good sport. Almost all of our wedding party was there with the exception of three groomsmen (one in North Carolina, another forced to work, and the third just MIA). I'll be sure to put up pictures that my mom took whenever she gets them up on Facebook.
Sadly, one of my bridesmaids is going through a really tough time and has realized that she can't be a bridesmaid. I understand her problems are serious and so I have excused her from her duties, with love and sympathy, and have replaced her with a good friend from the Gap I work at now: Shannon!
Matt and I are now back at home, about to update my scrapbook and start thank yous for the gifts we received.
