Miss Frozen Yogurt's Picture
Miss Frozen Yogurt, Dallas Age and Occupation: 28, Special Projects Coordinator Fiance's Age and Occupation: 26, Equity Trader Engagement Date: March 19, 2009 Wedding Date: April 2010 Venue: Marie Gabrielle, Dallas About Me: I was born and raised in Texas, and have lived in several of the cities across the state, but I currently reside in Austin. I went to college in Boston and have a special place in my heart for the Northeast. I love reading, shopping, wine, reuniting with college friends that are scattered across the country, reality TV, trying out new recipes, and attempting all the DIY projects that come along with wedding planning. I'm a "bleeding heart, save the world type" and thankfully my job allows me to work on legislation and policy to help out those in need. I met Mr. Frozen Yogurt in a bar, though he doesn't even drink! And now we are planning a modern yet vintage wedding in Dallas while dealing with the trials and tribulations of first time homeownership.

Save the Date Party!

October 6th, 2009 @ 4:40 pm by Miss Frozen Yogurt

Oh my gosh, I recently had the best weekend ever!! I took a trip from Austin to Dallas to put together our save the dates with my bridesmaids. It started out a little rocky due to the inclement weather Texas was having.

Miss Lamb's Picture
Miss Lamb, Norfolk Age and Occupation: 25, Homeland Security Consultant Fiance's Age and Occupation: 27, Graduate Student Engagement Date: January 2009 Wedding Date: January 2010 Venue: Trinity Presbyterian Church/Harrison Opera House About Me: I’m a Homeland Security Consultant with a tendency towards pulling office pranks, taking lunch breaks, and drinking Wawa shakes. I’m also an English major with a serious obsession with alliteration and rhymes. While I’m not keeping America safe, I’m training for half marathons and the Escape from Alcatraz swim. Or moving for the third time this year. Or baking. Or wedding crafting. Or crying about wedding planning. All the while, I’m getting myself into Lucille Ball-esque scrapes and making Jim Carey-esque faces. Our big fat Czech/Baptist/Jewish/Italian wedding is a combination of vintage eclectic, DIY, and little spoonful of sugar from our Event Coordinator. It’s going to be a Norfolk flavored wedding with the verve of an only-daughter-blow-out bash!
About Miss Lamb

Our Save-the-Dates went out in the mail the week we bought our house. This was a huge relief, as we had been putting it off due to the venue uncertainties. Originally we had wanted to give people 8 months of notice since our date is around the Christmas holiday. The little beauts got out just a tad under 6 months out.

I hemmed and hawed about…

We’re planning a DIY garden wedding with a laundry-list of projects, all while dealing with the bureaucracy that is American Immigration!

Cricut Madness: STD Tutorial

September 29th, 2009 @ 4:10 pm by Miss Dachshund

I recently posted about my new Cricut and my save the date mockup I made using it. I know a lot of you are interested in the Cricut, or Sure Cuts A Lot, if you already have a Cricut. On its own, the Cricut is a very handy crafting tool. Paired with Sure Cuts A Lot, a program used to cut custom designs, the Cricut…

A Cricut Expression complete with the Sure Cuts A Lot program!!

I bought it the other night on a whim with no project in particular in mind. While it may not have been the wisest purchase, (especially when I have to pay a $260 dollar speeding ticket next month), I was SO EXCITED to get it home and start cutting.…

Miss Ramen, Phoenix Age and Occupation: 26, Optometry Student Fiance's Age and Occupation: 23, Industrial Designer Engagement Date: January 3, 2009 Wedding Date: December 2009 Venue: Phoenix Art Museum About Me: I'm an SF-born, Seattle-raised girl, transplanted to Phoenix where I'll be getting married, and planning all the way from Orange County where I go to school (yes, it feels as crazy as it sounds). I loooooove Yogurtland, am slightly very obsessed with all things paper, am heavily addicted to wedding blogs, deeply desire a puppy, thoroughly enjoy cooking, cry when I watch (almost all) movies, thrive on solo car-karaoke, can't stop being sarcastic, am neurotic about taking pictures of almost everything I eat before I eat it, and aspire to travel the world. My super-talented fiance and I are attempting to DIY a majority of our massive (~350 guests) "clean & modern, yet romantic, but completely unexpected, with a teeny dash of vintage" wedding, stay within our not-so-massive budget, and somehow get a really luxe (but still fun!) look/feel at the same time. In music terms (since we're both really into music) think Coldplay meets Motown meets Kanye meets Sinatra.

Why Mr. Ramen Rocks

September 24th, 2009 @ 12:50 pm by Miss Ramen

Aside from being a general really-awesome-totally-adorable-just-want-to-kiss-him-super-sweet kind of guy (at least in my eyes), Mr. Ramen has been my design slave (I think I’ve mentioned this before… but it’s definitely worth mentioning again). Don’t worry - I treat him well; he is paid in neck/back rubs, homemade dinners, extra cuddling with me while watching heroes (I’m totally missing this new season, boooo), or SYTYCD (again……

Come to Our Wedding, Yo!

September 21st, 2009 @ 5:17 pm by Miss Lamb

I’m not exactly sure when Save-the-Dates (STDs hehehehe) came into vogue, but ever since I received my first one, I knew I wanted to send them. In some ways, I think they’re on the narcissistic side of weddings where those little magnets say: “Look at me! Put me on your fridge! Think of me every day for the rest of your lives!” But on the…

Save the Dates

September 9th, 2009 @ 11:05 am by Miss Frozen Yogurt

Why was I stressed about the save the dates? I’ll tell you why: because I had no clue what I wanted. With everything else, I saw it, knew I had to have it, and it was done. One example of this was the wedding invitations. I ordered a sample, the first and only. I got the sample and I absolutely LOVED it. I seriously almost…

Then I followed my beau out here to LA and we're getting settled in. I've been making things since I can remember. I was raised by crafters. I love to sew, draw, paint, build, cook, bake (anything with a tangible end result is fair game). In that same spirit, I've been hosting since I was old enough to cook and set a fancy table. I kind of take after my grandmother, who believes that your morning OJ always tastes better out of the good crystal.

Save the Date How-to

September 3rd, 2009 @ 4:32 pm by Miss Moonbeam

Find a fabulous photo of the two of you, cut out all the background, and then simplify it in Photoshop using the stamp filter (duh). Mess with the settings, until you get it just so, and then save it as a .jpg or .pdf or whatever type of file your stampmaker wants. Take it to the stampmaker. I used ACE sign and stamp in Los Angeles, because it was…

How to Be An Expert Procrastinator

August 30th, 2009 @ 5:10 pm by Mrs. Dew Drop

So… you want to be an expert procrastinator like me?

Here’s my 12-step plan for sending out wedding save the dates:

Step 1: Look online for ready-made save the dates. Decide none of them will work. Inform your fiance that you’re going to make your own!

Step 2:
Look online for inspiration on making your own save the dates. Repeat this step frequently until you’re completely confused about what you…

Ways to Save the Date

August 20th, 2009 @ 2:33 pm by Mrs. Dew Drop

Waaaay back when (or maybe around five months ago), I was already starting to feel so, so behind on my wedding planning. Do real people actually manage to get their wedding planning done early?

That spurred me on to thinking about what exactly we were going to do about our save the dates. I knew I wanted to send them out—a reasonably large number of our…

He was attracted to my intensity, and I was mesmerized by his trivia pursuit skills and his dorm furniture adorned with his initials. We've grown more sophisticated through the years, with our love of wine, owning a house together, and parenthood (of a cat), but we have not lost our silliness or childish sense of humor!

When I am not teaching preschool (or blogging!) you can find me perfecting recipes, petting kittens, hiking in Griffith Park, and overusing exclamation points. We are planning a vegan, green-as-possible, DIY wedding, and I couldn't be more excited to share all of the details!

Project: Save the Date Cards

I had been envisioning multiple papers, ribbon-tying, and all sorts of time-consuming…
