random musings and things that tickle my fancy

First of all, the title of this post was Tory’s idea. Gotta give credit where credit is due! Especially when it comes to puns.

Just picked up a pair of these babies at Anthro on Sunday to use as our toasting flutes:

And Tory found the stamps I wanted for the invitations (more difficult than you would think)…which are DONE! FINISHED! FINITO! Well, technically we still have to put the stamps on the envelopes and deliver them to the post office, but I am overjoyed. What a LABOR of love. My goodness!

I want one so bad, but they are so incredibly expensive to rent. I’ve found a lot of inspiration from brides that have taken the DIY approach, and I’m seriously considering creating our own, complete with funky fabric backgrounds, something to write clever messages on, and fake mustaches!

I am determined to find a way to make this work!

Lot of 24 vintage hankies:

I saw this really cute idea on some wedding blog – and for the LIFE of me, I can’t remember where and it’s ticking me off! If someone reading this happens to know, do tell! I did however, happen to save a photo because I liked it so much. Basket of hankies:

There was a cute little sign next to it that said: “In case of tears, use a hanky,” or something to that effect.

Lot of six pint sized blue mason jars (I need a TON more of these!):

Isn’t eBay awesome?

So, Tory already has his tie (from Geoffrey Beene):

And we bought socks for the groomsmen yesterday from Urban Outfitters (Tory will have a different, as-yet-undecided pair):

Now we’re looking for the groomsman’s ties.  The suits will be medium grey and the bridesmaid’s dresses are shades of blue. Which one do you like?

So last night I’m printing my invitations. I’m thinking I need about 60 to be on the safe side. I’ve printed out about 40 sheets so far (side one) when I make the startling and obvious realization that I laid them up two per sheet. I am such a dumb dumb. Now I have a bunch extra and I wasted some of my paper and ink. Sad face.
