Oh my silly fiancé!

We are working on a rough draft of a seating chart for the wedding. And I can not stop laughing. This is way too much fun. It's too late in the night to be doing this. And too early in the planning to do it. But oh boy, it's fun!

Lots of posts, short posts.

In addition to the tuxedos and the previous post about completed invitations, I have addressed 20 more envelopes. The invites are just not finished.

The other thing is the final and my favorite bridal party game! Yay! And the food for the bridal shower has been decided.

And the last thing is for part of the ceremony decoration kind of thing. I don't know what it's really called or being called, but that's what I'm calling it. Thank you Kelli for the ideas.

Today we are picking out tuxedo styles and colors and all of the other boringness that comes along with that. I'm not sure how boring it will be, but I'm sure it's not the exciting part of wedding planning.

Then on to Michaels to get even more invite supplies! Speaking of invites, Kelli the maid of honor, got her invite last night. Kind of a sneak preview for anyone since she got it first! :)

Working my butt off all weekend on invitations!

I really have been busy working on invites. My goal is to have them completely finished by September 1st. This is a busy month since I have a week of vacation off with iggy, iggys birthday, plus planning for logans birthday the first week of September! These HAVE to get finished!

I worked until 330am last night. Started today around 9 until 1130. And have been going since 9 tonight. Thankfully, iggy pitched in a bit tonight & boy was i ever thankful for that! Even that tiny bit of help makes my aching hands feel better.

I've been taking photos of the process. So here you go:

My workstation-







I took a break for some pizza. Yum!


Then I enlisted iggys help-







And here is what is accomplished now:



I'm working on about 20 more tonight :/ I feel as if they will never end!
