This weekend was quite productive, thanks to our ever so helpful friends, Sham and Mairead. Together, we assembled all of the cute little boxes for our favors.
Of course, our stickers will look a little different than the one in the pictures, but those are coming in the mail soon!

We also started to assemble paper flowers for the table seating chart board. You wouldn't think they would take so long, but man, what a labor of love!

The blogs will be coming more frequently, as this is the power month to get all the little things done!

  1. Really quickly before I read the rest of this--let me know if you have any lingering questions about the marriage license task item. I know it's crossed off, but just in case I wanted to offer since we survived the process!

  2. Oh man, this is going to be so great to have. Let me know, if you need any help with anything else. p.s. I think the petals dried really well, considering! Let me know, if you want me to get to work on gluing remaining ones in advance of spending an evening actually putting them together!
