my Saturday night!

Well I'm sad to have lost a bunch of comments thanks to Blogger's little hiccup the other day, but at least I didn't lose any posts! Haven't had a chance to do much wedding-related searching recently because the focus has been on the engagement invites that I'm finally almost able to get out!

I managed to find paper thick enough to be able to be used for our little cards in the envelopes, but still able to go through my dad's printer, and I printed a bunch of them off yesterday afternoon. My Saturday evening was spent cutting them up and cutting the corners! I think they have turned out good so far, although I ran out of paper so still have a few lots to print off. Then it's onto the actual STD and invites! I'm kinda using the engagement party invites as a test run to see how well things can turn out if I do them myself, so hopefully it all goes well! So far so good, and the "Love" monogram from a couple of posts ago works PERFECTLY as a sticker! Yay!



I also did up the bird cage this weekend, and I think it's turned out well! What do you guys think?? xx

instead of a wishing well...

I just realised that I passed my 1 month blogging birthday the other day! How fun. If you cannot tell that I'm addicted, maybe the fact that in the 9 days of May I've managed to post 16 entries might give you a clue! (compared to 20 in the whole of April!)

Anywho...I've had quite a busy wedding/engagement party related day today, as evident by the many posts today. I apologise, but I really do want to record every moment :) And it's the random things that I find, that get me the most excited.

Not long ago, I saved this picture while randomly looking through Etsy. I loved the idea of a card holder that was a little different then a traditional wishing well (although my hubby-to-be's father has made some pretty lovely ones!).

I told my mum about it, who thought it was pretty cool, and decided that at some point down the track I'd have a look through the markets and see what I could find. Figured we'd just use one of the FIL-to-be's for the engagement party and see if I could get a bird cage for the wedding.

Then today, I was down at the shops getting engagement invite related items, and as I was walking past a store THIS happened to catch my eye:



It's perfect! Pay day, I am heading back to pick it up. So excited! Now to buy some pretty ribbon and print off a sign for the front, and that's another thing down. Whoo!

What kind of ideas did/do you guys have for your card holders/wishing wells?
