Just a few updates today on the wedding planning..
-The save the dates are in! Yes, I kind of jumped the gun on ordering them, but just so you know, I'm not planning on sending them out until August. The "rule" is that you're supposed to send them out 6-9 months before the wedding. If the wedding is a destination wedding and/or you have a lot of out of towners, or around a major holiday, you're supposed to send them out closer to the 9 month mark to give everyone a chance to plan their trips. If my wedding wasn't the day before Easter (oops), I probably wouldn't have planned on sending them out until September because the majority of the guests live in Charleston. So, there is my reasoning for sending them out in August. :)
I ordered them so early because the website that I ordered them from, Wedding Paper Divas, was running a Memorial Day special and I wound up receiving a 20% discount! I was super impressed with this company regarding their customer service, fast shipping and quality of the product.

-297 days until the big day! In the 200's now! :)
Whew my wedding is in 332 days and I haven't even been dress shopping yet! I guess I need to get on that!
ReplyDeleteI would be annoyed if the girl was playing on Pinterest and hadn't gotten a quote back to me. There is no need for that at all. I know you can't wait to see your wedding dress! I love how you're so on top of things, ie. ordering your save the dates early. ;)
ReplyDeleteYou are so good to shop around for florists. I just picked one that had good reviews online and hired them on the spot. Luckily, they are pretty amazing. Glad you found your #1 choice as of now. And how exciting is it that your dress ships out this soon?!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are getting a lot done already! Hopefully that will save some stress later on. I bet you can't wait to see your dress!! So exciting!!!
ReplyDeleteYay! It's going to go by so fast! Please post your save the dates once you send them...I'm sure they are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOh, I can't wait to see your Save The Dates!
ReplyDeleteSo exciting that your dress will be there soon! Planning is so stressful at times but all your hard work will pay off!
ReplyDeleteHey,
ReplyDeleteIf you are getting your invitations from WeddingPaperDivas too, use your costco membership! We went to the Costco website searched invitations and was redirected to the WeddingPaperDivas website. I think we saved 30%. I think the discount works for other invitations too.

Love wedding paper divas. I get all my shower and party invites from them. Such nice quality for the price.
ReplyDeleteGood for you for getting so many things done ahead of time. You'll be thankful you did later. Looks like we have very similar taste in flowers. Can't wait to see what you end up with. ;)
