@wildstyle: thanks!! i had an epiphany yesterday (because i wanted to do a newsletter and then seeing that sooo many awesome ladies had done them, i thought omg i can do this too!!!)
Looks pretty rad! Man, you are cranking through your checklists. Pretty soon you'll be passing everyone up!
@JOJO: i definitely have quite a few things left but these are things i want to go ahead and do and i have to pay for everything lol!! i picked my dress but i will be paying for it probably at the end of the month and reserving the b and b then as well.
@KM: of course I posted it lol I am going to send it out tonight or in the morning, but should i wait to reserve the venue before i send it off?
definitley wait till you have reserved!!!!!!
We have had so many hiccups with our venue, that i cant print out our invites yet. :( boo!
You never know what could happen.
We booked a b & b, confirmed it and went to go pay deposit. During that time the husband died and the lady is now selling the business and cant do our wedding.
@ccrane: omg that is terrible!!!! i'll definitely wait to the end of the month then (it's secretly one of the reasons why i waited to purchase the dress. i definitely believe i should have a place to wear it first lol!!)
Crebre - definitely a bad situation
nothing worse than thinking you have a venue and then you dont!
@ccrane: glad that things have worked themselves out!! we have to view the venue etc, but i am 99.9% sure that we are going with it because we were given a fantastic rate because our wedding is in the off season.
amen for offseason.
P.s I need your opinion on my save the dates. Just titled "the debate - redo save the dates" its in the paper section since your one of the best DIY guru!
omg i am definitely not one of the best diy gurus!! (you gotta check out some of the bees!!) but i'll do my best to help you in any way that i can or direct you to the proper place...
Perfect. I'll need you to give me a tutorial when the time comes. I really want to do an article on you and your wedding for Blackweddings.com. I know your wedding is going to ROCK! I love it!!!
@ms. snuggie: i posted the tutorial on my blog (mochafrugalista.blogspot.com) and i'm game for the article, whenever you're ready!!! i'll be doing a few guest spots on the african-american bride blog as well.... as far as my budget rocking, the only thing i see is my budget skyrocketing to be honest with you lol!!! everything is coming OVER budget... i cannot wait until something comes in under, you know?
@krissy:thanks!!! it was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO easy to do and best of all, total cost of project : $0.00
@crebre- you bet, and $0 cost project! now thats impressive!!!! 
@ crebre: I LOVE that idea! I'm going to look up the tutorial RIGHT NOW!
@krissy: i lurve'd it!! i was like omg this is brilliant i had an epiphany while reading the electronic save the date post, it was like a light bulb went off, especially since i wanted to do a newsletter
@sunny: yay!! glad that you like it too!! it would be awesome if someone was really good with paintshop or something like that, I am not to good with graphics so I cheated (as you will see from my tutorial)...
You are making me feel like a super slacker. :( Awesome job on getting everything done though!
crebre - you have been engaged for a week and have done more than I did all year before the wedding! :-) This looks good! It will be very well received by your guests.
I'm with you Melissa! I feel like such a fail-bride... lol
It looks great crebre! Man are you making it happen :) Keep it up lady!
I love it! What an easy and CHEAP way to do such a classy STD! Im glad that you included the average temperature on your STD so people are well prepared in advance! I think you are more ahead then any bride at the one weekish mark. lol.
@Lindsay: Definitely don't feel bad :( it was sooo easy to do, literally I was finished in like an hour... I did a tutorial on my blog, you can definitely do it very easily...
@Melissa: LOL you are so silly!!! I honestly cannot believe I found a dress so quickly, I was thinking it would take me MONTHS to find her!!!! I'll be so excited to have everything done and paid for to be honest with you.
@RB: Thanks girlie!!!!
@Mimosa: Thanks it was a combination of me really not wanting to do an STD and really not wanting to do a website, but wanting to get the info out lol! And I have a cousin that constantly emails family updates and after seeing the email stds from the other thread I was like OHHHH WOW that would be soooo easy!!!
@ms. teddy: it's literally PRICELESS lol!!!! i was really concerned about folks being too cold etc, and i definitely put that it was an outdoor wedding so they could be prepared. I am so excited that it's so well received....
@Cre you rock and are so ontop of this wedding stuff! looks awesome!!!
*snaps!!!* :)
Gosh, you are so creative. I know you don't want to take too much credit but it looks awesome. I would be so excited to receive an electronic STD. My FI's idea of electronic STD was evite. Ha!

I created it using the presentation function in google documents. When I send the email there is a blurb that says "We’re getting married on December 30th, 2010 and have chosen a quaint bed and breakfast in XXX Louisiana to exchange our vows. We look forward to celebrating with you!" The pictures are from the bed and breakfast and actual locations. On the accommodation page there are links directly to the hotels' websites so that they can reserve rooms, etc. We also have links to our registry and the last page is a link for folks to email us their mailing info as well as telephone number..
