Mr. and I just bought our first home in Nazareth, PA so we will be
busy ripping out shag carpet and wallpaper from the 70's while at the
same time planning our July 2010 wedding. Although we aren't going to
have a specific "theme" for our wedding, my fiance and I love
traveling and are looking forward to incorporating some of our travels
into our wedding day. We want to put our own creative touches on as
much of our wedding as possible so we will be DIYing as much as we
can! Will there be a bouquet toss? No. Electric Slide? Absolutely not.
Everything for us, our friends, and families to have the most fun
ever? Absolutely.

I sent out the last save the date this morning!
I’m surprised they were all able to escape Nala’s teeth.
She’s like a ninja! I was trying to take an “in-the-process” shot and she just hopped up with a swipe of her paw. What a pup!
Although the design is old news, I did want to share one little thing that I did that made my life easier. Might be pretty common sense, but hey, if it helps make another bride’s life easier …

Simple and classy - black and white weddings will never go out of style, but you can spice it up by using the colors in unexpected ways.
A black and white dessert table? Yes, please!

I’m about to send out my and am totally not looking forward to using the polar bear postcard stamps. So, I hunted down the 2010 USPS stamps and I think I may be giving up my dream of using for our wedding. It was just turning out to be such a headache to find the right ones and now that I’ve seen what’s in store I’m about to give in to just going the easy route for our …

I’m a bit late in spreading the word, but for the remainder of the day today (January 21), Smock (one of our fabulous featured vendors) will be donating 100% of sales on their website, excluding custom printing, to Doctors Without Borders as part of the ongoing relief efforts in Haiti.
If you are a paper lover like I am, this is a great reason to stock up on gift wrap, thank you cards, and all sorts of other goodies - and support a country …

So as I mentioned, I decided it would be fun to make our entire lot of save the dates, invitations and anything else involving paper and our wedding. Why you ask? Looking back I’m not really sure, but it was an experience! I don’t have any special training or real artistic ability, I just have a mother who was always extremely crafty and have always been striving to be like that.
Our save the dates were nothing novel I suppose, just …
