Saturday Stuff..

Happy Saturday everyone! The weather is beautiful here in NJ. I have a bunch of stuff to do today, starting with a hair appointment. Then, my honey and I are going to check out the suits for the guys for the wedding. Good times! I took a half day from work yesterday and it was great! First thing I did was go to the post office to pick up our calligraphied wedding invitation envelopes. They are just stunning, I will share some pictures with you in another post. I actually plan to review all our vendors and share their info with you.

I was really glad I was home yesterday afternoon because I got a visit from both UPS and FedEx. I ordered a case of Gable gift boxes from PaperMart. I ordered the kraft ones and they will be used as welcome boxes for our guests who are staying overnight for our wedding. I was inspired by a picture I saw in Martha Stewart Weddings. I'm going to tie a wide kelly green and white ribbon around the box and under the handle and make some cute personalized tags to attach to it. I will definitely share pictures of the finished products!

The UPS man showed up with two boxes, one was enormous and I had no idea what it even was. Upon closer inspection I saw that it was from Pottery Barn and I figured it must be a wedding gift! I was good and waiting until my fiance got home from work so we could open it together, that nearly killed me! The gift is from a dear family friend who now lives in Florida and can't make it to my bridal shower next Saturday (yes, I know when it is but nothing else and it is also killing me!) and it is some of our Emma Dishes from Pottery Barn! It is four place settings and I absolutely love it! I ordered the Boatman Geller thank you notes that I previously blogged about and they should be here soon so I can send out proper thank yous!
