About Mrs. Peep Toe

Hey Mr. Postman!

May 25th, 2009 @ 3:12 pm by Mrs. Peep Toe

So, the Peeps have been ordering and receiving a lot of fun things in the mail. Some that I’ve shared with you, and others that, well, I am just sharing with you now.

First up, Mr. Peeps’ and Papa Peeps’ wedding gifts. I ordered them both from Red Envelope because I found a 20% coupon online. They are the perfect wedding day gift:

And the pen, well, it’s beyond perfect for Papa Peep, a life long Dodgers lover and season ticket holder. I wonder if he ever sat on these seats??? When I was a super young, hyper thing, we had our tickets in the blue seats, so they always remind me of sugar highs and running up and down the aisles—quite possibly for the whole game (yes, I was totally that kid!!).

Second, a couple years ago, Mr. Peep and I both got transitional lenses. Since our wedding is outside, we didn’t want it to look like Mr. Peep was wearing sunglasses on our wedding day. SO, Mr. Peep did his research and ordered a pair of glasses online!! Yep, he took the plunge. We were very careful to order glasses that were as close to the measurements of his current glasses, and I actually think I like his new glasses better.

Example 1: Mr. Peep wearing his transitional lenses for our engagement pictures. No bueno.

Example 2: Mr. Peeps’ new glasses. Here he is on his birthday last week. I think they look smashing:

Just last week, Mr. Postman delivered a very important part of a Jewish Wedding—our Ketubah. There are a ton of Ketubah sites out there, and a lot (actually almost all) provide Ketubahs with interfaith text. At first we thought this Ketubah was the one:

But somehow, both of us fell in love with the colors and mosaic of this one:

In person, it’s perfect. I can’t wait to have this sucker signed and hung up in our house for everyone to see. I promise to write more about the text, post wedding.

And finally, we got an invite to another party for us!! The rehearsal dinner!! They were DIYed by my FILs. Aren’t they great!?

Oh, how could I forget. We’ve also gotten a few official wedding presents:

Some much needed love for our salt and pepper:

And also, our much-needed everyday bamboo flatware:

Did you buy the majority of the gifts for your wedding party online?  Where did you buy them?

Your RD invites are so cute!

My dad is a major baseball fan — but since he loses his pens SO easily and doesn’t use cuff links, those awesome baseball gifts wouldn’t work for him!

Exciting! Even though our wedding isn’t for 5 more months, we still got a present already!

I love the idea of those cuff links too. It’s such a cool idea :)

I bought the Cubs version of those cufflinks for my fiance last Christmas. He was THRILLED to get them and will be wearing them at the wedding. (They just happen to fit in great w/ our color scheme!)
