He proposed exactly 1 year, 1 month and 6 days after our first date (it's the only part of his proposal speech that I remember), and we're planning long-distance from Los Angeles for a July wedding in my hometown of Monterey, CA. I have a passion for all things "cool, cute and quirky" and I enjoy video games, reading blogs (WeddingBee, trashy celeb, consumer & political) and crafting in my spare time, if I have any!

Finding Your Seat

June 26th, 2007 @ 9:35 am by Mrs. Lemon

I never really had much of a vision for what I wanted to do with my table cards. I didn’t have any clever ideas about how to arrange them nor any cutesy little seashells or favors to attach to a name card. And try as I might, I never had an “ah ha!” moment where the perfect idea fit into my head. But… they still had to be done… and before I left LA for that matter!

I ventured to my little piece of heaven, PaperSource, on Thursday morning to pick up three sets of placecards (Luxe cream…. like my invites) and also bought myself some pretty pieces of flat paper.

MIA

June 8th, 2007 @ 10:33 am by Mrs. Raspberry

I really am not MIA - I have just been super busy getting a few of the last minute projects completed before the wedding. Here are a couple of teaser pics of things I have been working on…

Escort Cards (we will still have placecards at the table) - each guest will get a little envelope with their name on it. Inside will be a picture of the DC Icon Table that they are sitting at, with the icon’s name on the back of it.

Mr. Spider’s nickname for me is “little apple” (xiao ping gua) in chinese. I am however, allergic to apples. It’s like rain on your wedding day… I know. As a tribute to well, myself haha, we tried to incorporate apples into our wedding day. My favorite apple delight were our centerpieces.

Escort Cards Version 2.0

May 24th, 2007 @ 9:33 am by Mrs. Bell Pepper

I talked to my caterer and the museum event coordinator yesterday about the ceremony/reception details. I presented the circular menu cards and everyone seemed to like the idea, it’s simple to arrange and it looks very elegant in the white bone china they will be using for the reception. When it came to talking about our escort cards, I gave the caterer several ideas, one that I posted previously and a more three demensional idea. They seemed to love the three demensional paper flowers and I thought to myself, would this be too difficult to create for all the escort cards? I came up with ideas to make it easier for me to create a bulk amount of these paper flowers. Here’s a photo of a few of the flower escort cards I made so far:

amelie3

My fiance and I both really liked the movie Amelie, and I wanted to find a way to incorporate a cute idea from this movie. In one of the scenes from the movie, Amelie seizes her father’s gnome and hands it over to her flight attendant friend. Her friend travels around the world with this gnome and takes postcard photos of it posing in Moscow, England, all over the world. I thought the idea was amusing and I wanted to include this gnome in our traveling adventures.

Sit Here, Or Else

May 3rd, 2007 @ 7:04 pm by Mrs. Kiwi

I know a lot of brides forgo the seating chart now, and just “reserve” certain tables for close family and friends. This is totally understandable since this seating chart thing is the most annoying since the guest list. For those of you who are doing the seating chart, how are you planning on showing the guests their seats?

We have our place cards, these leaf shaped ones by Pottery Barn (now on sale for 1.99 per pack of 12).

Elvis = Lives!

I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m going to make my guests earn their cake and bubbly. None of this come-as-you-may, pampered and indulged nonsense. There will be challenges to be met. Obstacles to overcome. Puzzles to…puzzle out.

Take for instance, the table names. This baloney:

is entirely too easy. Enter my favorite online wordscrambler. In three easy steps, you can create your own personalized placecard-to-table puzzles that guests must solve to find their seats. Read more…

At Mr. Apple’s Request…

April 26th, 2007 @ 9:26 am by Mrs. Apple

….I agreed.

You see, Mr. Apple is a huge Lord of the Rings fan. He has the LOTR Trilogy Series on dvd. He also received this leather bound LOTR 50th Anniversary Edition book from me a few years back for Christmas. So after seeing a LOTR post awhile back from Miss Blueberry, he suggested why not have towns from LOTR as our table “numbers”.

With these unique and somewhat difficult town names, we thought it would be a better idea to include photos of fruits - for those older guests whose English isn’t so good. I even used some Asian fruits like the rambutan and lychee. I actually thought of doing different varieties of apples since I am Miss Apple! But I realized most guests wouldn’t even get it since they don’t read WB, plus apple variaties are so close in color and shape that people wouldn’t be able to distinguish between the apples. At least from the quick search I did on google.

I d-i-y’d the table names by using MS Word and printing them off my personal printer. The fruit images were downloaded from google images.
