Oodles of wedding goodies

This week has been overflowing with wedding excitement as various items arrived via UPS and USPS.

Back when we chose our save-the-dates, I showed Terry several options. He strongly preferred the cards and postcards with little round chicks. So we ordered them.



When the time came to order invitations, we were fully invested in the bird motif. So we chose a different but complimentary bird design. They arrived on Wednesday.



They look pretty good alongside the save-the-dates, and all the wedding stationery (happily yet accidentally) incorporates the wedding color scheme of pink and brown.



Today the UPS truck stopped out front and brought candy for favors and personalized napkins.

Here's a mock-up of what we plan to do with the favors:




The personalized napkins were a splurge, but at least they were on sale. I'm psyched about how the chocolate-on-ivory ones came out; the others are okay.




After all the goodies the UPS truck brought, I thought the excitement might be finished for today. Then I opened the mailbox and discovered that our handmade, custom order cake topper had finally made its way here from Australia. I was anxious about these little birdies because we had never seen them in person and had never even seen photos of the specific color we ordered. But they're absolutely wonderful! (The photos don't show all their wonderfulness but at least they give a sense of scale.)





Finally, late this afternoon, we went shopping for Terry's suit, which went quite well. He's going to look very handsome (as usual) on March 13.

We also learned this week that my dress has arrived at the store. I need to make a trip to Beaumont to pick it up. Terry's mom's dress came in, and she seems quite happy with it. My mom picks up her dress next week.

On Wednesday, we met with the day-of wedding coordinator who will keep things running smoothly at the church. With her guidance, we counted table cloths, vases, and steps in the sanctuary. After our adventures at the church, we made a trip to SAMS Club and purchased plates, cups, flatware, and bottled water. Wedding stuff is taking over a big corner of the living room.
