Handsome Prints

Everything is just about ready [I think] I continue to be overwhelmed by people's kindness, encouragement and offers of help for Saturday. Fresh ink cartridges arrived at the weekend, and we've printed the orders of service, menus, place names and table labels. One pack of 250 sheets of Kraft paper has provided all we needed for those things, plus the little bags of sweets. The wedding theme is woodlands, so the brown paper has a lovely rustic feel. Steph and Mark designed the order of service, with the tree on the front. Every table at the reception has a 'tree' name on barbecue skewer. They will be standing in beer bottles - the bride does work for SAB Miller after all! The place markers will each be fixed to a pine cone with a pearl headed pin. And my little wooden label stands [made by Bob years ago for my school display table] have been brought into use to hold the menus. The printing all looks quite professional, if I say it myself. [no comic sans anywhere]

I have tried on my complete outfit and all is well there [despite recent weight gain] - I even remembered to include a spare pair of tights! Tomorrow I am getting my hair and nails done. Bob's suit has been dry-cleaned, and he has been presented with his official green tie [to match all the other significant gents at the ceremony- except for Mark who has an even finer piece of neckwear, I am told] 
I am so looking forward to the weekend. I really must get myself under control - I have been bouncing round like a three year old in the week before Christmas. Only four more sleeps!!!

  1. You sound full of excitement! You've put so much work into everything, all you've shown us so far - the paper things above, the bunting, etc. - all looks wonderful. I was going to say it all looks professional, but that makes it sound clinical and soulless....what you've done is full of warmth and very personal.

  6. Wishing all of you the most wonderful day; drink it all in as much as you can, because if my experience of K and A's wedding is anything to go by, it will pass by all too quickly.

  9. Not only did I accuse you of getting the date for Steph and Marks' wedding but, I dashed to the church in KM on Friday last week to make sure the card for them is there when they arrive! Senior citizen moments or just big concentration gaps ? LOL! (Me that is).
    Love the theme. You must find time to relax before the big day!
    The card was taken by one of the playgroup/nursery staff and put in the Ministers' office for safe keeping.
    Having trouble accessing my email at the moment, BT are messing about with the e-mail again, Grrrr!
