Heart and Soul

We got Lars and Natasha's invitation today! They are doing something similar to Margaret and Chris in that they are asking that guests RSVP online instead of sending in a card. Now Matt and I can start planning our trip down south with Kevin, Sam, Ryleigh, Jeff, and Anthony!

Blue Bouquet

We received Erik and Sophie's invitation today! It's very cute and is part of the same matching set as their save the date. Their wedding is June 7 at OceanCliff, a resort in Newport, Rhode Island. Matt and I are going to be staying the weekend, from Saturday to Sunday, in a bed and breakfast that we'll be using one of our wedding gifts for. My parents will probably be coming to our place to watch Anthony so that we spend the weekend by ourselves. (Since it's so close to our anniversary, that will probably be our celebration weekend.)

Garden Party

We got Emily and Jeremy's wedding invitation today! It matched their save the date and is absolutely beautiful! Here are two pictures of the whole package and I will update with the scanned photos of the contents later today!

Perfectly Plantable

We got Caitlin and Anthony's invitation today! They are beautiful and very eco-friendly! The actual invitation is made of paper infused with wildflower seeds. You can plant it and the paper with disintegrate so the flowers can grow! I've seen them before and love the idea, although I don't now if we'll plant ours. I'm very sentimental and like to hold onto keepsakes like invitations. Going along with the green theme, their RSVP is simply an email response. Here are some pictures:

RSVP Card

I got my dress for their wedding in the mail yesterday, too! I was going to wear the orange one, but I'm going with a mint green dress, also from ModCloth, since it kind of fits with their theme: 

Now I just need to find some shoes...

Ribbon Dancing

We got the invitation to my cousin's wedding today! It is absolutely goregous! Here are some pictures:

 The inner envelope with handwritten calligraphy and a shiny purple inside.

Gorgeous invitation: the ribbon wove through the paper and around the back.

The RSVP card which opens to reveal this:

The meal choices for the guests! Matt is going with the filet mignon and I'm going to have the seafood enveloute.

I have also already chosen my dress, which I ordered originally as an option for CJ and Andrea's wedding. (Plus I just absolutely adored it!) I ordered shoes to go with it yesterday and Matt has picked out his tie.

Speaking of Matt and his clothing; we bought him a new suit for the upcoming weddings last week. He has two others, but I wanted to get him something new for two reasons: first, his other two fit okay but are slightly big on him and, second, I got new dresses so it's only fair. Here are the pictures from the website:

It's part of their Photographer suit collection and looks AMAZING on him. I'm so excited for him to wear it with the new French cuff shirt we got him!

Again, now I need to find more jewelry for this dress as well as deciding what I'm wearing for CJ and Andrea's as well!

Simply Elegant

We got the invitation to CJ and Andrea's wedding! I was excited when it came in, but I waited until Matt got home to open it. Here's the actual invitation and the reception invitation.

I think their invitations are beautiful! Simple, yet elegant. We've already chosen our meals and are sending our RSVP back tomorrow!

The only thing that gave us a problem was that the reception is black tie. I don't have any dresses that are the correct length (Andrea is requesting below the knee) so I have to go dress shopping. I've looked on ModCloth (one of my favorite shops) and found a couple. I'll post them below.

I'll post again once I've figured out which dress I'm going to wear!

Let the Parties Begin

We officially began our wedding escapades on November 23, 2012 with Andrea and CJ's engagement party. We traveled almost three hours to CJ's parents home in western Connecticut to celebrate with the bride and groom's families and friends. It was beautiful, very laid-back with great food (my favorite part). Matt had a great time catching up with fellow PC graduates that he hadn't seen in a while. We're especially excited for their wedding because their ceremony is being held at St. Dominic Chapel on the Providence College campus; the same chapel Matt and I got married in!

Less than a month later, on December 22, 2012, we attended Kevin and Kristen's engagement party. The party was held in western Massachusetts, where Matt and I both hail from, at my aunt and uncle's house. We had a great time and enjoyed being surrounded by my family. We left the party minus one gift for the future bride and groom but with two miniature bottles of champagne as favors!

Our fridge is currently adorned with three save the dates (as well as a million magnets, coupons, and pictures). I love that they are all different from one another and beautifully orginal. I've scanned them onto my computer so I can upload them here (edited, of course) along with the invitation that we received for Kevin and Kristen's engagement party.
