Wedding Wednesday: Guest List... Other Randoms



One of every Bride's nightmares is the Guest List!! Who to invite, of course family then your best/closest friends.. Then where does the line get drawn? You have Co-workers, College friends, Grade School friends, Childhood friends, Best friends parents, Your parents friends, Your In-Laws friends, Church friends, and the list goes on and on!

I am not ready to make all the decisions yet... I have an ideal "A" list and "B" list going on but nothing is final by any means, I just saw this little picture "graph" to help with the Guest list pressure and wanted to share. It was featured in the July/August edition of Bride's Magazine


(you should be able to click on the image to enlarge)

A Few Random Side Notes:
* I'm headed to get a massage today.. I've been wanting to get one for month's and just never could justify with myself why I should treat myself to one, well after working really hard in school lately and getting in my first "my fault" accident yesterday (no not hurt just really shook up,) I'm finally treating myself to one to hopefully make this week get better! I carry all my anxiety/tension in my shoulders and I feel like my shoulders are up at my jaw line right now.. I even asked my friend Justin in boot camp last week why my shoulders looked a certain way when doing this one routine compared to everyone else's looking more relaxed...

* Well I didn't get a 100 on that test I was hoping to, so no LuLu Lemon pants for me! Better luck next time huh? ha!

*Flying anywhere the first of Dec or Jan-Mar next year? Southwest Airlines is offering great deals, $30, $60, $90 etc (depending how many miles) Sale ends tomorrow night, head over to the website to see if anything works for you! If it does... feel free to buy me a ticket also with the money you saved ;)

*Last but NOT least, I wanted to dedicate a special post for this but don't want to make anyone uncomfortable or look like I'm just jumping on a bandwagon... Please please please Pray for Katie and Ben today, they've been in my prayers so much lately and today is their 3 year anniversary and Katie is bringing Ben all the cards people have sent to the hospital, I sent my card about 3 weeks ago and have been eager for today! If you aren't familiar with Ben and Katie head over to their blog and "follow" their story. They were invovled in a tragic car accident, Katie had minimal broken bones, bumps, and bruises and was out within a couple weeks. Ben has not been so fortunate, he is still in the hospital doing numerous amounts of therapy and making progress everyday! Katie has won Wife of the year award with out having to put up a fight, that woman is amazing, she loves Ben with her whole entire heart and so much more. I don't have the right to sit here and really say anymore as I do not know them personally, and if I do continue to talk I will ball my eyes out even more.. So just head over to her blog and read for yourself, make sure to show her some love, she deserves it!!

Still trying to find time to gather my thoughts for the blog posts I blogged about last week, sorry....

Wedding Wednesday: Engagement Party Dress






We (Brian's mom and I) are in the process of planning our Western Themed Engagement Party that we are having in October

I'm on the hunt for a dress now since everywhere has their "summer/short" stuff on sale!

Here's what I need:
* Cute with my cowgirl boots
*not too short!
*something not too fitted since I have not lost any weight yet!
*and of course I am looking for something white

Here is what I have found that has my size in stock, I am just going to order a couple online and then do returns rather than going to a million stores

Dillard's:

1. Lucky Brand, cute western?
2. Might be too fitted under the bust

3. CUTE but maybe too fancy for backyard western engagement party
4. This is a fav! Just don't know about strapless with my arm fat, ha

Banana Republic

5. I think this one is also a Fav! I love the back, just hope its not see through at all!


Macys:

6.







So which # ladies and what do you like or dislike?

Another Wedding Wednesday Post to come later today.......

Wedding Wednesday: Shoes #3/final for now..



just had to show the packaging, it was silky and just so nice.. Felt so elegant!


So there it is ladies, what my shoes will look like with my girls!

Thanks Heather and Bekah for allowing me to open your boxes for pics :)

They are just SO pretty, I didn't even want to touch them, as you can see I left them in the packaging.. I was so gentle with them like they were glass or fine china, ha!

Kuddos to Zappos, great customer service, fast shipping, A++!!!

That should be in on shoe post for a while now, if you need to catch up, refer back to the past 2 Wed's blogs!

Wedding Wednesday: Socks & Signature Drink

Thanks to the lovely Jen over at A Girl in Pearls & A Boy with Toys for the help with this blog!

Here is Jen and Jay on their wedding day! I can't remember where Jen said she got the socks, I thought I book marked it but can't find it...

But this is the look I'm going for! I want Brian to have on the same purple shade socks as my shoes!


I have this pic saved in my folder titled "Wedding stuff I like" but can't remember where I found it.. dangit! Quick thought: Is there a need for this guy to be shirtless?

So here's where you come into play? Do I buy a pair for all the guys or just Brian? I'm thinking just plain purple, no stripes, no pattern....

Check out this website I found:

Cocktail Recipes

You can customize drinks by color, occasion, liquor etc.

I've been kinda worried about not being able to find a good/yummy purple colored signature drink for the reception.. Problem solved!

I entered Purple and Wedding here is what came up:





Please cast your vote on which drink you think sounds the best, much appreciated :)

Happy Hump Day to all my fellow blog friends!
