Miss Dumpling spent Saturday doing lots and lots of errands. I’ve been procrastinating about doing wedding stuff because I have a fear of writing big checks. I’m sort of scared to see the money in our special bank account labeled “Wedding Fund” lose a digit. I’ve watched my fellow bees talk about paying the catering, photography, and venue deposits, and I guess I never really thought about how significant that was. Until yesterday, that is. Mr. Dumpling and I are now forced to eat ramen noodles for the next few years (carbs… yum!), because we finally took care of the catering for our wedding this weekend. One vendor down, about 27 more to go.

After that, he went about his business and I spent the rest of the afternoon working hard and doing fun wedding stuff.

First on the list: Get Carried away. What! It was research.

I now hold the record for watching this movie more than anyone on the planet.

Second: Stuff face with Red Mango:

I didn’t have my camera with me yesterday, but here’s a similar shot of me eating Pinkberry, which is pretty much the same thing.

Third: Ok… it’s time to get to work. I finally started to work on our invitations over the weekend. I decided to start with the RSVP cards thinking they would be the easiest, but it was a lot of work. Mr. Dumpling was very impressed with the outcome! I think he was a little nervous when I first told him that I wanted to make the invitations myself with a machine I bought off of eBay.

Did I tell you I was a messy crafter?

Please notice the little red Dirt Devil in the bottom of the picture. This is evidence that I did try to clean up after myself.

I’m starting on the invitations today and I’m a little nervous. Mostly I’m nervous because I can’t afford a back-up plan for our invitations in case I totally suck at the Gocco. The RSVP’s were easy enough, but getting the letters to transfer evenly was difficult. Cross your fingers, gals (and MANgo)!

Did anyone else spend their Saturday doing wedding things? Have you been procrastinating on your wedding planning?
