Our table numbers for our Vegas reception won’t begin at one. There will be no table two or table three (or table four, although that’s because we will only have three total tables). Instead, we have decided to number our tables with the years that are important to our relationship. We will be having tables 2009, 2010, and 2011.
In order to show our guests which tables are numbered what, we will be having framed photos of ourselves from those years in the middle of our candle centerpieces. Our venue is going to be providing more votive candles and small vases of seasonal flowers. (Again, hooray for restaurant receptions!)
Imagine that I cleaned the vases before taking the photo
Mr. Mole helped me add the years to the relevant photos that will be in the frames through Photoshop. (My skills are so minimal in Photoshop that I needed help to add a text layer. I think I will stick to my day job.) Then, we used the magic of the internet to send them to Walgreens to be printed.
Interestingly enough, all of the photos that we chose were taken on trips that were important to us.
My parents, my fiance, and I visited seven venues before making our decision. While we didn’t downright hate any of the places we visited, they all had their own unique sets of pros and cons.

We didn’t have too many “must haves,” but I really wanted to be able to have everything indoors. (Even though Murphy isn’t invited, I’m pretty sure he’s going to crash regardless of what kind of security we have set up.) We also knew that we wanted to have the ceremony and the reception in the same location, so the venue needed to be able to accommodate us there, too. So with that in mind we headed out!
Our first stop was the gorgeous River Stone Manor. The venue is right on the river (obvs) and has a beautiful banquet facility lined with windows that overlook the water.
I won’t keep you in suspense. It’s beer.
Delicious, home-brewed beer.
A little under a year ago, Foxy decided to buy a starter at-home beer brewing kit.

All-Inclusion Invitation Suites
“Make an elegant invitation statement without the fuss. Stylish invitation sets with matching envelopes, reception and response cards included.”
Making the guest list is seriously the hardest part of wedding planning. Well, I found it to be difficult, probably because we have a venue maximum of 96 including us, our DOC and our photographer. First, we agreed that we would split the number of guests down the middle. It just makes it easier that way. However, I wanted to follow guest list “rules” like we would only invite our “immediate families”: parents/siblings, grandparents, aunts and uncles and cousins… and our friends, obviously. But, that didn’t work out.

My “immediate family” is a bit bigger than Fiancee Eagle’s.

If there’s anything I’ve learned from celebrities this year, it’s how not to maintain a relationship. Sure, lots of people divorce for legitimate reasons, including celebrities, and I truly don’t know enough about relationships (and even less about marriage) to know why they sometimes fail. But hindsight is 20/20, especially when you’re looking at a celebrity whose story has been highly dramatized by the media. Disclaimer over. Follow these tips and your marriage is guaranteed to succeed!*
1. Don’t marry a drug counselor if you’re a drug abuser. And if you do, at least try to hide it from him. And if you have to frantically search for crack cocaine in front of your drug counselor husband on occasion, make sure that occasion isn’t your wedding night. Note: If you make this mistake and still want to be with your husband, have lots of caveman makeup sex in order to win him back.

Just because we aren’t doing the bouquet/garter toss, certainly doesn’t mean I don’t want my thigh to be looking pretty on our wedding day. In fact, part of the reason I didn’t want to do a garter toss is because I’m quite in love with the circle of lace I’ve set aside for my thigh. My thighs are far from my best feature so this really is my only chance to dress it up with something feminine, pretty and sexy.
I wasn’t really looking for garters; I hadn’t even really thought about if I would wear a garter. I was just browsing the web one day and this picture made me stop dead in my tracks:

I loved the style—the more artsy take on the garter. I liked that it wasn’t delicate tulle, but a more bold design. At $33, the price is actually quite reasonable, but I decided I would make mine…I mean it’s just lace, some fabric and beads, right? Actually, yes, I was right.
A long, long time ago I stumbled upon this fabric flower tutorial and have been diligently making fabric flowers for a few other elements in the wedding.

It seems to me that I have been lacking in posts about wedding crafts. This seems a bit odd. There sure are a ton of crafts on my to-do list. I have a house full of craft supplies. I even have a checklist (sadly unchecked) of crafts to get cracking on. One would think that I would be a wedding craft blogging machine with DIY tutorials coming out of my ears!
However, for the last couple of months these things have been neglected due to one craft—the mother of all wedding crafts—that has totally monopolized my craft-brain-bandwidth, rendering me incapable of thinking about any craft that was not this craft.
Ladies, I am talking about The Invitation! Mr. Aardvark (seriously, he was SUPER helpful) and I started back in August by looking online at paper and finally ordering some from Paper Source. Since then it has been slow and not-so-steady progress, but we are finally, really, actually done. All we have to do is drop them in the mail. (Hopefully before the rates go up on the 22nd.)
We have cut, corner-punched, glued, and folded. We have suffered paper cuts, burns and blisters. We have had mess-ups and re-dos and re-re-dos. But today, I can tell you, it was worth it.
