    I'm getting married in less than 4 months!  Woohoo!!!

    {had to get that out first}

    We are having a Catholic Mass followed by the reception at the New England Aquarium!  I didn't want to be crazy formal as the reception site is in such a fun place, and face it, Adam and I aren't super serious people.  So we decided to DIY invites to save $$ and came up with this:

    :Rehearsal dress  (w/ DIY invites preview) show me yours!! :  wedding rehearsal dress invites diy coral Invite1Rehearsal dress  (w/ DIY invites preview) show me yours!! :  wedding rehearsal dress invites diy coral Invite2

    (going to change the block font, but keep the script, need to fix alignment in the back, etc).  Used lots of coupons (lots! over 3 months) and excluding printer ink and postage, it comes out to 125 invites (206 ppl) for about $65!

    Fast forward to now when I'm looking for a rehearsal dinner outfit (to wear to the church, italian restaurant, then an irish pub for open toasting) and have been planning for the last 3-4 months to wear white, as I never do and have an excuse.  But... I've found a new dress obsession that is wicked fun and bright! Background: My fiance has no fashion sense (sorry, sweetie!), thinks dressing up is putting on clean pants, and... likes us to match. He gets a huge kick out of it- he buys us matching hats, shirts, etc and if I put on my aquarium hoodie (Mom bought each of us one when we got engaged and booked the aquarium for the reception), he will go get his and put it on... cute, but I roll my eyes good naturedly, and I don't let it happen outside of the apartment :-)

    So... I'm thinking I can give him a private nod to this for the rehearsal as well as tie in our coral theme (yes, I know this is weird, but makes me smile):

    Just sharing :-)  Have you fallen in love with something you didn't expect?  And are you doing white or color for your rehearsal dinner? Show me?

    I think your invites are super cute, and I love the fact that you are giving a nod to your FI's tie in your rehersal dress. Keeps the whole theme going and I love it :)

    I just bought this dress online w/out trying it on; I hope it fits!  This is the invite I'm leaning toward, but in a different color combination to fit in with the restaurant:

    I love your dress and the tie!  That's such a great idea.  The invitations are also lovely.

     I wore a grey dress for our rehearsal.  My briedesmaid dresses were grey so I decided to go grey the day before :)  I bought it from modcloth...they have a lot of good dress choices for the rehearsal (and bridal showers).

    @cz1789:  I am spearheading the invites for our RD bc my FMIL will procrastinate until the day before.  I've not seen a lot taht I like, but I REALLY like those.  Would you mind sharing where you found them?
