Can you tell I have a thing for blocks of type?  I am in love with these DIY bags. Plus, one of those names is my soon to be last name

As I was thinking about guest books yesterday and all of the many options for one, I came to another question.

What is the rule with guestbook table ‘overseers’? 

An engaged friend of mine has asked myself and another good friend to be in charge of the guestbook at her wedding.  What exactly does this entail? Is it necessary? I was thinking back to the last wedding I was at…. they had everyone sign a platter with one of those etching pens. I don’t remember anyone standing there, but the table was right in the path to the reception so it was hard to miss…

Did you/will you have someone in charge of your guestbook? If you did, how long do they stand there for? and if you didn’t, did you find that a lot of people didn’t sign? (I realize most of you aren’t married yet, so tell me what you are planning to do and your reasoning behind it)

She already asked us so I am not using this to go to her and say “See! people don’t even do that anymore!” I just realized that I didn’t know much about this position I now play in her wedding, and whether or not I need to get someone to be in charge of my guestbook.

Thanks!

Picture books (like over at Blurb) serve as wonderful guest books that you will actually look at again!

maybe instead of a brooch, a little cameo? I have a bigger one, it’s blue, but I think it may be too distracting right there. Plus I was going to put it on my bouquet :)

Haven’t bought your Christmas cards yet? 

Been touched by NieNie?

Buy some super cute, super affordable Christmas cards from this talented lady and she will donate $5 to the NieNie fund! It is win win! Go! This is only good until the 15th!

with envy.

Did you see these from this site over here? I am in love.

Not sure if this was written then scanned, written then gocco’d, or if that is just one of the best hand writing font’s I have seen, but I am in love with these invites.

Too much bling for one day? This is the last of it, I promise!  Now that I have this ring, I can’t stop thinking about the wedding band! Here are some of the ones I am looking at, all from Tiffany (only cause they have the best site )

Is it possible to have too many pictures of my ring? The answer to that question my friends is: no. I love it. It is shiny and gorgeous and filled with the history of a woman on my soon-to-be family tree. Still a tiny bit too big (darn you skinny fingers!) so I may wear my original ring in front of it, but I don’t really like the look of the two together… we shall see. Ok, to the pictures!

I’ll stop now. I know when enough is enough. (Not really cause I am staring at it right now…)
