Well, 5 years would be what I choose, but my husband just wasn’t up for it. We have a super busy summer this summer, combined with the fact that I started too late meant either next summer or 2010. We went with two years just because it seemed like a good number! 7 is my lucky number anyway. Also, at this rate, it’ll take me that long to find a venue that I like. I’m hoping in two years people will build new ones! :) A girl can hope!

When we actually renew them, it’ll be two days before our 7th anniversary. It’s kind of a weird number, but 5 years (this August) didn’t seem like long enough to my husband and I didn’t shed the pounds that I wanted to either. So, we’re skipping ahead two years, so that I can enjoy the planning process, save the moola I’d like to spend without putting a cramp in our monthly budget, etc. So, Lucky 7 it is! We eloped in Las Vegas, then ended up pregnant a month later. We had planned on having a reception after the fact, but had a baby instead! :)

Hi Kate! Congrats on your vow renewal – how many years? And also, big congrats on the gocco – you are going to love it!

Laura Hooper scanned in the words and emailed them to me. I then put them into Photoshop and made them black and white bitmap documents, which I copied into Illustrator and turned into vectors (just to clean them up). Then I put them into a Word document and printed on a laser printer.

That being said, if you have the hand-written word on a plain white background you can just photocopy and go! :) So if you don’t have all the technical tools, I would just have your calligrapher do black lettering on white paper and mail it to you!

I hope this helps!

Ok, I have a question about gocco. I’m wondering how you did the screen? Did you photocopy the original and then burn the screen? I’m also renewing my vows (thank you so much for writing about your vow renewal. I don’t feel like so much of a nutjob!) and would love to have some things hand lettered and then Glocco my butt off! My mom is buying me one for my birthday! Yay!
