So this weekend I was bored. B.O.R.E.D. and started thinking that, since I’m DIYing most of the paper things myself, I should at least start doing some mock-ups.

 
So I did just that. Last night I knocked out a mock-up of our table number/menu tri-fold, the program and out OOT welcome …

Me: “Okay. I have a wandering …

Okay, I try not to complain or vent too much on my blog- I mean, after all, this is supposed to be a “happy-happy, joy-joy” wedding blog, right?

So I was utterly bored the other day and decided to drive out to our ceremony/reception venue so that I could figure some logistics out in my head. Being at our venue is just so peaceful, to me, so I love the time I spend there! Unfortunately, I didn’t call …
