I am happy to say that my invitations are stuffed, sealed & addressed! They are now in their own safe keeping box & put out of the way. They will be mailed I believe right around my birthday, August 11.

I still want to find a cute stamp. For that, HOBBY LOBBY!! They have a very large selection of stamps & I seen a shade of pink in the ink department that I loved too, so when we get a little extra spending money I am going to go ahead & pick those up. It’s only $10.

My Maid of Honor was over yesterday. (Yes, the one I was having doubts about!) She helped me stuff the envelopes & put the monogram stickers on & my parents address stickers on. She seemed better in spirits yesterday & when she came over she wanted to see all of my new stuff I had gotten (which wasn’t much) & she went through my wedding binder to look at my ideas & such.

She also made a great suggestion that I never thought of, give a copy of the invitation to the lady making my cake so she can incorporate it. I know people have done that. I just really didn’t think about it. But when you look @ the cake I want & the invitation I ordered, they are very similar. =) That’s a plus. The invitation can serve as a color pallete because of the pinks!

These babies are ready to go, for now they are out of sight but not out of mind!

In a few short hours, I go to meet w/ the very lovely lady doing my cake. I want to discuss with her flavors! Me personally, the only type of wedding cake I’ve had is standard yellow. & that is my FH’s request is that the layer we cut into be yellow. So I am going to make sure she makes the bottom layer yellow & we can discuss flavors for the other 4 cakes. I was thinking: Marble, Funfetti, Chocolate, Strawberry. The 6 inch cake (which is ours for our 1 yr) will also need to be yellow. I know that my selections aren’t as “traditional” as some. And Red Velvet does sound beautiful, but I’ve never eatten it & I know its costly. I am chosing flavors that are 98 cents at wal-mart in the pilsbury brand. That will make me happy. I don’t know if she makes her cakes from scratch or now. But I’ll tell her for mine that she doesn’t have to. I figure it’ll take 8 boxes, max, to make my cake. Probably 3 yellow & then 1 of each other… I don’t know she’ll figure that part out. I am definitely no baker. For crying out loud, I messed up homemade pancakes this morning. I used all-purpose flour instead of self-rising. I don’t belong in a kitchen. LOL.

So Invitations & Meeting w/ the baker are not officially checked OFF of my list!!!! Yay!!!!

Of my handy “Ultimate Wedding Planning Checklist”, I’m completed 50 of 69 taskes!!! (21 of which weren’t necessary for me so they got marked off first!!)

Now to a little more less task focused. Let me ask you ladies, did you all (or are you) having weird dreams about your wedding day?

For the last two nights have had this terrible nightmare that it’s my weding day & I am sitting there in a room full of brides & my groom is getting ready to ride on a golf-cart up to the minister so we can begin our ceremony but I am sitting here still waiting for someone to help me zip my gown, & I don’t have hair done or makeup fixed. I am screaming at this lady that is supposed to be doing both & she doesn’t hear me. There are about 5 other brides in the room that she is focused on. I don’t know any of them. All I know is they are about to tell me I have to go marry my man now & my hair is a freaking mess, I have no makeup on & my dress isn’t even fastened.

It’s a horrible feeling I wake up looking around and get scared that it’s really going to happen on my wedding day. So I told my BFF/MOH that on my wedding day she better not ignore me or my dream will be coming true. She laughed at the dream and said that no one is going to ignore me. I said, “You have to be able to do my hair & makeup even if the girl for my hair shows up.” She just laughed. Yea, to some I guess it is funny but I think that this is a bride’s nightmare.
