Finally an update!

I have hit a serious lull here in wedding land but there is always time for me to get distracted from schoolwork, so here it is: an update.  I know you've all been waiting at the edge of your seats, right? =) ha- I'm sure.
A kindof work in progress is the table setup at the reception.  I realized I have bags for the candy, bookmark sleeves for the photobooth favor, photo sharing cards, along with trying to figure out how to set up a list of all the candies available and let people know to take it!  So here is what I came up with (along with help from a friend at work who is a genius with stuff like this~ so practical whereas I am more and more flighty.  It would be perfect if I can figure out how to combine all of these elements into one specific area, and that's where my awesome friend Jan suggested the napkin fold.  Such as this one used for a menu:

But we would use it to tuck the bag, favor sleeve, card, and whatever other junk I have to have...=)  Such as this (but with a napkin around it...so it looks like the picture...) 

Another bright idea that is completely unnecessary is a flip flop basket at the reception, such as this inspiration pic: 

I had a coupon for Old Navy and ordered a bunch of purple, black, and white.  Yes I have 2 different shades of purple as I already had some pairs from Target's $1 aisle...I figure I can split the purples up between the baskets and it will be fine, right?  

Check out all these flip flops! 

Yeah~ I think I go overboard sometimes too...But Everyone can use a pair of flip flops, right?!?

For an update on these darn paper flowers, we are over halfway there (only?!?) as I have 17 vases filled and I need around 30 (depending on final guest count...) 

I'm putting the vases together rather haphazard like just to get a feel for how many more I need, and here is what I have so far: 

This is how they are put together and then the pic with 2 boxes is showing  the flowers from the top view...

I don't know if you can tell from the pic, but I put a rhinestone in  the middle (ish) of each flower, so there is a little big of bling for the tables =)

I had a few seconds of panic and terror when I realized I will be mailing out the invitations this month...THIS MONTH...Ok breathe...yes I have less than 3 weeks to finalize everything and get together late additions and make sure they are all still glued together and nothing is missing...  I have a bunch put together and mostly done except for the final check:

That's around 100 in there, looking down into the bag I bought special for the wedding (its in our print, and has a C on it)  Yes I am a dork, and I love it =)  And here are my stamps, bought from Zazzle~ you can't read the writing, but our names and wedding date are in the black part at the top.  I call it subtle, some might say difficult to read...

And I will leave you with a final piece of eye candy; probably one of my favorite wedding purchases here.  Lots of this wedding has been things I like and things I hand picked.  Granted I hand picked this one too, but this is all about Sean.  Those closest to Sean know he never leaves the house without a few choice items in his pockets.  I won't go into details but one of those items is chapstick.  Not the brand necessarily, just a lipbalm of some kind.  I love it cause I can always borrow if I lose mine, but otherwise its just one of those things that make me smile cause it is so Sean.  =)  So here it is:

I had to get 2 in the pick so you could read all the wording, and Yes, these are custom made chapsticks with a mint flavor/smell and they are 100% all natural, too =)  And even in our wedding colors, how awesome are these??  LOVE them!  I'll have a bunch for the ladies and then some in each bathroom basket too in case anyone needs some chapstick!   

I'm off to kickboxing class~ woohoo (I'm trying to get myself pumped for it...)
