Koozie, anyone?

At the end of my work day today, I was farting around on the internet looking at wedding stuff (after getting all of my work done of course...) and came across some neat websites selling custom-made koozies (or coolies, or huggies, whatever you call them)! I think this is such a cool favor idea! We don't plan on doing favors at the actual wedding, but I think these would be really neat to give out at our Rehersal Dinner, or maybe our Bachelor/Bachelorette Parties.

When I was looking through the websites, I came across about a MILLION different sayings/graphics that you can choose from, so I thought I'd share a few of my favorites :)

(by the way, these all came from one of the following 3 websites - but I don't remember which ones came from which - Kustom Koozies, Dollar Imprint & Custom Ink)

Perfect for a Bachelor/Bachelorette Weekend :)
The ever-popular Daisy :)
Such a cute saying!

I think this one's my fav. :)

The front of this one says "To have and to hold..." hee hee

These bad boys are pretty cheap, depending on which website, but I saw them as cheap as 30 cents a pop! Not too shabby!! So now I just have to figure out which event I NEED to order these for... ;)

What a Weekend!

Well, this has been one successfull wedding weekend, let me tell you.

Just so I can gloat in all of my accomplishments over the past couple of days, let me share them with you... :)

1. Ordered the bridesmaid dresses. FINALLY!! I found them online at e bridal superstore for a pretty good deal (about $20 less than in the store) and went ahead and placed the order yesterday. So it's official...the bridesmaids will be wearing this dress:

(except the two bands will be chocolate to match the rest of the dress)

And my lovely maid of honor will be wearing this one:

I'm so happy these are finally on their way!! Now I just have to decide what the guys will wear...

2. Decided on Flower Girl Dresses. another FINALLY!! Jen and I have been going back and forth via e-mail for the past week trying to decide which dresses to go with. And we finally decided! The girls will be in Mori Lee style 533:

in coral, with an ivory sash (and it has an adorable bow in the back...at first I was weary of the whole bow thing...but it's grown on me :)

And just for fun...here are some pictures of the Cu-tee-pies just like I promised! :) This is them in a dress similar to the one we're going with...but not quite the same. Aren't they adorable!!!

3. My favor boxes came in!! Yay for craigslist!! As I mentioned the other day, I got 50 of these bad boys for $20. Not too shabby! They are a little tricky to put together...but I'm sure my MOH and I can figure it out! ;) Here's a (not so good) pic of the one I put together so far...

Seriously, aren't these the cutest little boxes ever!! I love them. And while I was at it...I took a fake Gerber I had laying around the house and made a make-shift favor box, going with the idea from earlier:Yes, I realize the flower is a million times to big...but you get the idea. These will be so cute for my shower!!

4. Mom is starting to go through old pictures for me, and scanning them onto her computer, so that they can be included in our Video Montage. It is so much fun going through old pictures!!

5. Last but not least, I ordered the first part of my bridesmaid's gift!! I won't post a pic, since I'm sure they'll see this post at some point...but just know that they are super cute, and I got them at a great deal! I love the internet. :)

So for once, I get to check a few things off the to do list. Now of course there are plenty of things to add in their place, but that's ok. Keeps me busy at work. ;) hee hee

Look what I got!

A while ago, I posted about these cute-as-can-be favor boxes that Sarah found and e-mailed to me...(if you missed that post, you can check it out here)

Well today I had yet another e-mail from my awesome soon-to-be-sister-in-law, of yet another great find! This time the find was on Craigslist, and it was these fantastic little chocolate brown favor boxes: PERFECT for our wedding's theme/color scheme. So I emailed the lady, and bought them!! 50 of these puppies for $20. I have no idea if that's a good deal or not, but at about 40 cents a pop, it sounded good to me!! We will probably use them at the shower (that my aunt Terri is SO excited to be putting together!). Honestly, I have no idea what they will be used for, but they were so cute and the perfect color, I just couldn't pass them up! There are enough crafty people in our families and in the wedding party that I have no doubt we will turn them into something FABULOUS!! :)

This was officially my first wedding impulse buy. :) I have held myself back thus far, telling myself not to purchase anything I didn't have a definite use for... let's hope I'm not starting a trend...

Cute Find!

Yesterday Sarah (Matt's sister) and I were emailing back and forth about wedding ideas, and she found these ADORABLE favor boxes that would perfectly match my gerber daisy theme...
I definitely think this is something we can DIY (do-it-yourself). Matt and I aren't thinking we're going to do favors at the actual reception, but I think these boxes would be super cute for a shower favor. :) Thanks Sarah!
