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!

Shower Exchange

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!

March Showers

Today was my shower and the bridal party brunch! It was SO much fun!! My bridesmaids had a great time at the brunch. My dad made crepes, which are my favorite, and we had mimosas. It was the girls and the hosts of my shower: my mom, gram, and two aunts, and we sat around eating and chatting. A couple hours later the shower began. We ate some more and played a couple games. My Aunt Dee made an ice breaking game out of two truths and a lie. Whoever got the most correct won a prize: a set of 6 wine glasses that went to....Nicole! We also played the "Nearlywed Game". I had to answer questions that Matt had already answered and got points for the ones that were right. Whoever guessed what score I ended up with won another prize: a Panera gift card that went to Shannon! Everyone ate dessert while I opened gifts. Matt and I got GREAT stuff, including 3 of the same serving tray set. (Good thing we got gift receipts with them.) Now Matt and I just have to find room for everything as well as go through our current stuff and get rid of some stuff. (And maybe move into a bigger place soon...)
RSVPs from yesterday and today:
-my cousin, Kevin, and his girlfriend, Kristen
-my former coworker, Michelle, and her boyfriend, Adam
-my friends from college and brothers, Andre & Calvin
A couple of packages yesterday:
1. Another dress I ordered for the honeymoon from Charlotte Russe.
2. Our readers' cufflinks
3. The corsage we ordered for the anniversary dance.
4. A shower gift from my friend Diana! She got us one of our new couch pillows and a set of shot glasses that I wanted!

Only one RSVP today from Shannon and Mason! They're coming! (Obviously.)
I FINALLY got the packages that UPS had been holding hostage for almost a week. And I was right about their contents!
The first was the last of the centerpiece supplies! Which means that I was able to finish them tonight! I'm so happy that they're done and now I'm down to 3 DIY projects! Here's a picture of the finished product:
The second box was our luggage! It was a gift from a family friend for the shower! It is SO nice and I'm really happy with what we picked out!! Now I can't wait to use it for the honeymoon!!
I got two other packages in today that were small: the socks I bought for Cole and the shoes I bought for my sister Hannah. Both are really cute and will go perfectly with the rest of their outfits!
AND I bought the clutches for our moms! I got them from Etsy seller syl2830 and they're going to be in the colors of their dresses. Can't wait to see them, but here is the generic picture:
Only one more day until my shower! Holy crap!

-my parents friends, Steve & Karen (decline)

Still waiting on a couple packages no thanks to UPS. They tried delivering and left no notices the last two times. I called and I'll be picking it up tomorrow after work. I also think I'll get a manicure tomorrow after work since I deserve one and want my nails to look nice for the shower on Saturday!!
Matt and I went to the Biltmore tonight and paid the last installment of the payment! We are officially paying them! Thanks to Joanne for helping us!

Excess Luggage

RSVPs today:
-Matt's godparents, Doc & Natalie
-their daughter, Cait
-my friends from high school, Kevin and Sam
I found a UPS sticker on our door today that says we have two packages that couldn't be delivered. Of course, there was one buried on the table from Friday that Matt never told me about as well as a thin package. I opened it and it was a cute Mr. and Mrs. set of luggage tags from Target! That means that one of the big packages is our luggage! (My mom's friend Liz ordered it for the shower and had it shipped here instead.) I'm so excited to be getting it!! Here's a picture of the luggage we chose:
And here are the luggage tags:
I'm hoping that the other package is the rest of our centerpiece vases!!
