Save The Date – September 1st
1. Save the Date cards
2. The mess we made
3. Rubber stamping
4. More mess
I have given Anita a deadline for her “Save the Date” cards. They need to be completed by April 20th and sent out by the 25th. As you can see above, we all got to work as quickly as possible to make 150 of these – by hand! As we strolled through Michael’s, ideas and inspiration came abundantly… and thus, these vintage-inspired cards were born! We still have a lot of work to do. I am working on the calligraphy and have found the perfect script! Anita loved it, so we’re going forward with them. We also need to make the custom envelopes since the cardstock itself is an odd shape. Well, time for more papercuts and finger cramps (finger cramps, on my part!)
My relentless urging worked because Anita has been sorting through magazines and has found her wedding dress. It’s very beautiful; whimsical and simple… just like her. We’re checking out Flutter Boutique to try the dress on next weekend. Since the dress is on the price-y end, we might just go to a seamstress… unless Chris’s parents are willing to shell out $3,000! 
Anita has lost so much weight for this occasion that it’ll be worth seeing her in the dress! Trust me!
In other news, me and another bridesmaid (aka my best friend, Liz) has finished making the bridal shower invites for another bride (one of our best friends). They turned out beautifully, but I must credit the work to Liz since she thought of the idea. I also did the calligraphy and burned my hand out! Ack. They were sore for about 2 days! 25 invites. (OMG, imagine 150 of them!) Anyway, this bridal shower is coming up in April and I still have a lot to prepare for.
Time to pull together my creative juices and work on some more wedding favor ideas for Anita!

Fate Is A Funny Thing
Anita & Chris met during their freshmen year in college at the University of MN. They knew each other through the mutual friends they shared & often hung out together.
Chris asked Anita out during their sophomore year, after they had gone through a fair deal of tribulations in their friendship. Since Anita did feel the butterflies in her stomach, she said "yes".
They have been together since college and continue to be very much in love with each other (like they are still first-time boyfriend & girlfriend).
Anyone who sees them so in love would be envious to their toes!
