I feel the slight panic of wedding planning that I have heard so much about. The more I look online for items that I am trying to make, the more I feel stressed out. I am excited to make stuff but until I actually have something that is a big staple (like centerpieces) done, I will have this feeling in the pit of my stomach that the clock is ticking!
During lunch at work I browse my Pinterest app looking for inspiration. I have a planning checklist app from theknot.com that I can look at any time to see all the things I need to do.
My biggest concern is budget. I really want to stay at or under $3000. The food and drinks (because the thing we want to have most at our wedding is alcohol! No, we are not alcoholics but we love to have a good time:) )are really gobbling up a majority of that from what I have estimated so far.
On a lighter note, to ease my ever-growing anxiety, we finally bought invitations! Yay! I found an online template for printing my own on cardstock, which I thought would be an easy thing to do, but then I thought about envelopes and the response cards and all this other "crap" so I just decided it would be best to buy a box from Michaels. OF COURSE they were on sale, so instead of 39.99 we got them for 30.00! They are here . The only think I have thought to change on them so far is we bought some pink ribbon (it's the same width) and I will cut it to be the same length. I also want to get some pink paper to put underneath the paper the kit came with to have it slightly more pink because I don't want it all ivory (I plan to trim the edges so it shows more). So now all I have to do is set my date and I can print them!!
