3 Months To Go!!

Thanks for all the wonderful comments you all left me on my cake post!!  It made my day!  I already have plans to bake an Easter cake… we’ll see tho ;)

Well, today marks the 3 month countdown… or if you prefer, 13 weeks…. OR 92 days ;) lol

Yesterday was 4 years since the fiancé asked me to be his girlfriend ;)  just thought I’d throw that in there lol… He’s something special that man of mine… something special indeed!  I don't want to get all sappy right now… I’ll save that till closer to the wedding ;)

This week I have worked on and almost completed our wedding website, made an attempt at making a registry since we won’t have our own house for a couple years (therefore, won’t be able to register for much), stayed up past my bed time making direction cards to send out with my invitations, and did my taxes and FAFSA today…. yes, I know that really doesn’t have anything to do with wedding stuff, but I'm pretty excited I got them done before April this year lol ;)  AND… this is the last time I get to file under “single”  pretty exciting eh? ;) haha!  ok, if you’re reading this post you’re probably 1) nodding your head or 2) rolling your eyes at me ;) lol… its ok, I don't need to know which ;)

****Insert random bit of info about Zaneta here****

Ever notice how i have a lot of winky faces throughout my blog posts?  Yes, I
know I do this a lot, but it’s probably because I can’t really wink in real life,
so I do it as much as possible in blog life ;) <—see? perfect wink ;) lol

*********************************************************

About the direction cards:  If you missed the post where I admitted I was a tightwad…. here it is again… I’m a tightwad!!  I don’t really like spending money… especially more than I have to.  I splurged on my invitations just because I liked them lol and then I saved a bunch of money by making postcards on vista print for my reply cards, and now I saved more money by making my own direction cards!  I was looking on a wedding invitation website to see about how much they cost and they wanted $1/card!  I needed 100 so I saved about $100!!

 crossed out personal info… you can never be too safe on the internet ;)

I already had some card stock so I decided to print 4 to a page… I made them up in Microsoft Word… I put the directions on the front and a map on the back (had to print front and back manually, meaning i had to take it and turn it around and put it back in the printer) and then I cut them all out with scissors because I don't have a fancy paper cutting machine ;)  I ended up with 106 somehow lol… i few mistakes that didn’t make the final cut probably… it took me a couple hours, but it was worth it to save money!  I saved the perfected document so I could reprint some if I needed to.  If anyone needs help doing anything like this for their wedding or a party or something, just ask me and I’ll be happy to help! :)

92 Days Left!

100 DAYS TO GO!!

I only have 100 days left before I marry the man of my dreams!!!  This is HUGE!!!  I can’t believe it!  It’s crazy how fast time flies!  If you missed yesterday’s post, I listed other bloggers who are also getting married this year (or are engaged)  GO CHECK OUT THE POST!!  If you know of anyone that I don’t have listed please let me know so I can add them! :)

AND… THANK YOU FOR YOUR WEDDING PICS!!  I seriously NEED more people to send me their wedding pics, engagement pics, ring pics…  I got so excited when I opened my email and saw those pictures!  No, really… I don't think you understand how excited I was to get those!  KEEP THEM COMING!!  I’ll post them over the course of the next week or so, depending on how many I get :) Send them to runners.luck@hotmail.com

Today, I worked (bleh… rather be running in this great weather), then I picked up some wedding cake books from the library because I don’t have any clue if I want a round cake or a square one lol!  Come to think of it, you can send me pictures of your wedding cake too! ;)  Then, I dropped off my car at sears to get 4 brand spankin new tires and an oil change because I’m gonna be commuting back and forth 50 minutes both ways to get to school here in oh… 11 days!!  Wow!! I’m so excited to go back to school! :)

After that I picked up 22 round table cloths for my reception because I had a coupon, BUT I got a better coupon at checkout so I’m going to return them and buy them again to save money.  Does anyone else do this or am I seriously the only tightwad in blogland?!  And THEN… I registered for some items at one of our favorite stores… it was kinda hard to keep in mind that we aren’t going to have our own house and space after we’re married… so that made registering a little difficult. (If you want to read more background on our situation, CLICK HERE).   I did register for a nice video camera… only because if it’s left on our registry after the wedding, we get a discount on whatever’s left!

What’s the craziest thing you’ve seen on a registry, or had on your own registry?
