In the last 24 hours I have ordered my FI'swedding ring(he already choose the one he loved, Im surprising him) and I ordered our STD's and our wrap around labels from magnetstreet.com.....I also ordered aself stamping stamp for our return addresses. Oh and I also ordered our bags,ribbon and tissue paper for our kids activity bags.

    I am so excited!! The wedding is starting to feel very real.

    I have bought pearls and rhinestones to decorate my wedding heels. I got the inspiration from this: What are YOUR RECENT purchases for YOUR WEDDING????? :  wedding wedding ring reception ceremony Il 570xN.287066416

    And now I'm about to purchase some lavender pearl jewelery from etsy that is super cheap and beautiful, I think it's called girlslovepearls or something. Excited! Because I bought some earrings a while ago, but I think that they are too big. Here they are:

    We went awhile without buying anything but in the last little bit we made a 50% payment for all our catering/venue/rentals, a 50% deposit for our honeymoon, bought his wedding band, bought all the groomsmen gifts, bought his parents presents, bought our flower girl and ring bearer presents and now I feel really really broke :( But we got a lot done and are definitely taking advantage of all the holiday sales :)

    Recently I bought my earrings, a belt buckles for my fiancé, fabric swatches for the bridesmaid dresses, vases for the centerpieces, rubber stamps to stamp the favor bags, put a layaway payment on my wedding band and on the bridesmaids bracelets, picked up my bracelet...Hmmm no wonder I'm broke this month.

    I splurged and got Haute Bride jewelry! Well, kinda splurged... got the hair clip on eBay and the bracelet off of Recycled Bride, haha - it's still way more money than I thought I would ever spend on wedding accessories. The earrings are new though because I felt weird about buying used earrings. Everything is soooo pretty and sparkly and 100% worth the price! But I probably should have waited til after Christmas because my bank account is feeling it, oops..

    Our wedding isn't until April 2013, but my most recent purchase was a planning binder off Etsy. I don't know that I'll actually use it since all my spreadsheets are on the computer, but there are a lot of great lists that I'm inputting into my timeline/to do list.

    Yesterday I bought a yard of fabric for my favor jars and ribbon for them and the invite and polyester fiberfill to put under the fabric on top of my jars. Last week we ordered RSVP cards and they came yesterday morning and were awesome.
