Priscilla of Boston Blowout Sale Tomorrow!!

Ok.... I don't think I can resist. I have to go check out Priscilla of Boston's blowout sale tomorrow. Dresses starting at $199? YES please! :)

The "Registry"....

So we ventured out Sunday to start registering at a few places. We didn't really have a plan, but I wanted to check out the registry options at Bloomingdales, Macy's, and Crate and Barrel.

We started at Bloomingdale's and I really enjoyed the customer service there, plus they give you a bunch of great coupons and discounts to use in the next few months. The guy working was really funny and immediately handed the scanner "gun" to J. He said that's the guy's favorite part. Unfortunately while walking around I found their selection a bit limited. We found a few things we loved. Of course they were expensive, but that wasn't the point - it was our 'wish' list :)

Next we ventured over to Macy's - it was packed with tons of engaged couples spending their Sunday doing the same thing. Multiple couples were walking around with the little scanner "gun", making annoying beeping noises at pots, pans, mixers, etc. We signed up and were handed a gun as well and we went around and scanned just about everything it seems! The funny thing is, I don't feel like we need very much of anything. I suppose the first time out you just scan everything you like, knowing you can go online and change it later.

We ran out of time to make it to Crate and Barrel, so I will save that for a future Sunday! We didn't find a very good selection of Espresso machines at either store (the only thing he wants to register for!) so I'm hoping they have a few there. Otherwise we will probably check out Williams & Sonoma.

Once we got home I of course went and signed us up for Amazon.com's registry. That will probably end up being our favorite one - the possibilities are endless!

Here's a few of the crazy things on our "wish list" so far:

Nambe wine chiller



Kate Spade Belle Boulevard Crystal

Nambe Butterfly Baking Dishes


Dyson Animal Ball Vacuum

Asking the wedding party....

Believe it or not, we're still in the process of "asking our wedding party". We've been engaged for two years, but upon the advice of many wedding blogs and forums I decided to wait until we were 6-8 months out to ask people to be part of our wedding.

While they are still a work in progress, I created small booklets with photos of each person and memories, with the last page ending in the "Will you be my _____". I will try to take some photos later to share! I gave each person their booklet in person, but there are a few people I had to ask over the phone (they will get their booklater later!)

Guest List & Save The Dates

We've been so busy with our new business since we got engaged - our wedding planning has been on the back burner. It's strange, since I always thought I'd be that bride that had every single detail planned out and organized. Turns out I've been just the opposite. There just aren't enough hours in the day!

We're running out of time but I'm committed to creating and sending out our "Save The Dates" by the end of this month! A few months later than I had originally envisioned, but I still want to send some out. This means we need to finalize our guest list and get everyone's addresses together, which seems to be a never ending task....

Back to Blogging....

I've started and stopped a few wedding blogs in the past, but with the wedding only 6 months away I'm going to try and pick it back up. There's a lot to do and while we feel overwhelmed at times, I have faith we'll get it all done!
