Word.

I've scoured the internet looking for unique looking invitations -- something that doesn't follow the normal routine. And the above choices were seriously tough to find. My favorite has to be the bottom left except that the colors would be either white lettering on green with a yellow/orange flower, or some combination of white, khaki, green and blue. I noticed only after I created the board that all the invites had avant garde lettering in common (except for the bottom center which is only cool because it fans out). So this is definitely going to be the highlight of my invite. The font. Just have to find the right printer to design it for the right price.

Waist deep in wedding worries.

I'm about to cross cake and officiant off the list. That feels awesome, but we're still looking for a band. This band will literally need to perform miracles on demand. They have to play a variety of genres, but play all genres perfectly, they aren't allowed to know how to be cheesy, they have to be less than $3k, and at some point they are going to have to learn how to play Time After Time. FML. Where will I find such an ensemble?

Invitations are slowly rising up the rank of priorities. These suckers need to be ordered and then addressed sometime in early 2010. Oh yes, they firstly have to be found (or designed by me, the non-artist).

I'm still waiting to bolt upright with the epiphany of exactly how everything will come together. It hasn't happened yet, so everything is incoherently swimming around in my head. Colors? What colors? The only thing for sure is the green bridesmaid dresses. Oh, and my idea to do green striped pocket squares for the groomsmen.

Straight up wavy.

Everyone knows I wear my hair up every day and that you're more likely to see a midget in a business suit than you are to see me with my hair down, but I would love love love to have my hair long and wavy for a beachy-style wedding. Cons: the wind could blow my hair into my face while I'm repeating vows/eating cake/kissing Dave. Pros: I look less like a man. Cons: Frizz is a definite possibility. Pros: I look less like a man (this one is worth two points). At the very least I think we should test out some voluminous wavy waves.
