Not Thanks Enough
March 27th, 2008 @ 4:23 pm by Mrs. Cherry Blossom
Two weekends ago, I was beyond spoiled to death by the shower my girlfriends threw for me. Unfortunately I have no pictures to share… just yet. I have to wait patiently for them to pass it on to me. So many people showed up for dear ol’ me, I just about pissed my pants… it blew my mind! I CANNOT wait to share all the details with you ladies. Hands down, I bow down to my BMs. And a million trillion thanks to our friends who attended and friggin spoiled me (& Mr. CB) rotten. They totally helped us set up house!
Check it, this was only HALF of what we got to fill our empty new place!

Thanks Now, Thanks Later
February 28th, 2008 @ 6:39 pm by Mrs. Penguin
Our first wedding gift rolled in a couple weeks ago! Four months early, wowwie! I think I’ll always remember these Salt and Pepper mills as “our first gift.” Were making memories here, people!

I hadn’t even started to think about Thank You cards… I was going to take care of that after the wedding. But with the shower coming up, I realize that more than one set of Thank You cards may be in order. I’ve never been one to notice exactly when we’ve received Thank You’s from weddings/showers I’ve attended, but now that the tables are turned, I want to make sure I make an adequate attempt at “doing the right thing…” even though I’m not exactly sure what that means.
Our Dorky, Squinty, Thank You Cards
February 25th, 2008 @ 3:08 pm by Mrs. Lovebug
Ah, the joy of the first registry purchase. That buoyant balloon of delight…quickly burst by the realization of the need for thank you cards.Since we took the fancy schmancy train to Invitesville via letterpress, we wanted to do something more casual and relaxed for our thank yous. And personalized. Personalized is the name of the game. So in a spin off of a Martha idea, and with our “Sweetest Type of Love” theme as inspiration, we came up with some dorky, squinty picture postcards:
No Gift, But Still A Big Thank You!
February 1st, 2008 @ 2:25 pm by Mrs. Magnolia
Like just about every other bride out there, I have a big ol’ list of thank you notes to write. After being married three weeks, I’ve barely made a dent in that list.
However, earlier this week, I did sit down to write notes to several people who didn’t actually give us a gift…vendors. I have vendor reviews coming soon, but I can preface those by saying that I truly believe that I worked with some of the most talented people in Atlanta for our wedding. I didn’t hire a wedding planner, partially because I had this ridiculous need to be in control of every aspect of the planning, and partially because I had complete faith in every single person that I hired.
Mr. Magnolia thinks I’m a little crazy for writing thank you notes to our vendors after they’ve been paid in full (and in some cases tipped), but I think of it as a personal gesture of appreciation….as opposed to the very impersonal check. And as a friend of mine said yesterday, it kind of closes the loop on the relationship in a nice way, you know?
Thank You’s: Etiquette Woes
January 16th, 2008 @ 2:56 pm by Mrs. Petunia
These days, with the bridal shower just behind us and less than 2 months to our wedding, gifts are finding their way to our home in all sorts of ways. They found their way to the shower in the most traditional of ways: people brought them, and since I opened them there as part of the festivities, I knew who brought what and why (no question that something was a bridal shower gift).
So writing the thank you note for my lovely glass domed cake plate will be - well, a piece of cake. (By the way, I loved Mrs. Kiwi’s recent post about becoming a grown up! I have to admit that I’m starting to feel like one receiving these gifts. I never thought my cakes/cupcakes needed a glass home before, but now I wonder how I ever left them homeless without it, and walking out of that shower knowing I was the proud owner of things like these did in fact make me feel, for whatever reasons, like more of an adult…).
The Eggplants’ Cards of Thanks
December 11th, 2007 @ 6:42 pm by Mrs. Eggplant
I (finally) ordered our thank you cards! Mr. Eggplant and I were married on October 20th, so it looks like I just may make the two-month etiquette deadline for sending out thank you cards (that is, if I can get myself to sit down and pound them out this week 
).
Thank You Part II (With Holiday Cheer!)

Currently I have been working on our lovely Thank You cards. Ever since I fell in love with these adorable stamps at Michael’s, I’ve been dying to use them!
The Massacre
November 15th, 2007 @ 6:12 pm by Mrs. Peppermint
I have a confession to make: I had my most bridezilla moment (at least to date… knock on wood!). I suppose it’s good to have gotten it out of the way, but nonetheless, there was a bit of a debacle last weekend…
It all started out very innocently. Mr. Peppermint and I were gocco-ing our Thank You cards. We agreed we wanted to get that out of the way so we’d be ready to fill them out in time. We had talked about a design and settled on what we wanted. Since Palm Springs (and the surrounding areas) is so special to us and he proposed in Joshua Tree National Park, we decided that we’d like a simple drawing of a Joshua Tree on the front. Inside we planned on text that would read “Thank You” in the top left, and “Mr. & Mrs. Peppermint” in the bottom right. Easy. We spent Friday night and Saturday morning making them and were really happy with the results.
Here is our view of Joshua Tree National Forrest:
Zazzle & QOOP: Creating Photo Keepsakes For The Holidays
November 15th, 2007 @ 11:32 am by Mrs. Bell Pepper
We still have a few thank you cards to send out to relatives who live overseas and couldn’t make it to our wedding. Rather than send them a few 4 x 6 photos from our wedding, I wanted to create a keepsake holiday card that would highlight some of our favorite photos.
