New date new venue

After searching like a mad woman. I found the best location for my budget. An arboretum. This place is beautiful and hopefully it will look amazing for my November 5th wedding. Cost free  (my mother paid for it 300 for 3 day rental) Thanks mom :) 

SaveThe Date: Project Begins

Well it is time to get my butt in gear! My wonderful Aunt Jo has gathered together all the names and addressees of the family. Isn't she awesome? I am waiting on Eamon's half. So...Now what? Save the date time! I have a lot of family that lives out of state. I guess the trend is to give people more notice. I'm cool with that.

I looked for a reasonable diy invitations and came across oodles of options. Lots of great temples are free. We have chosen this free temple from empapers.com. It is a full black and white kit and did I mention it is  free? I found a download from weddingchicks.com where you can customize the colors as well as having matching RSVP cards. I just need to print them on card stock and mail them out.
