So I've been trying to set up a date with my friends to go dress shopping. Right now it doesn't look like I'll be going to mid-June. I mean, I know that it's 9 months away from my wedding but I really want to start looking now. Why? I'm not so much of a dress girl. I'm the girl who pitched a fit while shopping for my communion dress. I used to tell my grandma that I was going to wear jeans to my wedding. Things have changed since age 8 for sure. I have a great love for a beautifully constructed dress. I love fashion. I just don't know how it's going to go for me while looking for a dress. Am I going to be one of those girls who tries on at least 100 dresses before I find the one that I want?

Good thing that doesn't say "call girl". Aaannnnyway! :)
A few weeks ago I realized why I'm so obsessive over invitations. I'm the kind of person that walks into Hallmark for a birthday card and I'm there for at least a half hour and tend to walk out with more than just one birthday card because I find the perfect birthday card for someone else. I'm the girl who sees a card from Papyrus and I want to cry. (I want to register for Papyrus cards just so we can look at the pretty cards we got for our bridal shower/wedding.) Cards can say exactly what you want to say even if you don't know how to say it yourself.
I've seen the invites that say nothing but so and so is getting married, if you decide to come here's where to be and what time. Boring. Not personal. Traditional. In my opinion, that's just ugly. Why would you not want to represent the feel of your wedding in the invitation to the biggest day of your life so far? It's not like you need to pay an arm and a leg for it either. My mom got an invite a year or so ago that was just so boring and said nothing that I said "well, this was a waste of money". I want people to see why my fiance and I picked the invite that we did and say wow, this is so them. This is original. This is fun. I'm not saying they need to tuck it away forever (though I would because I'm a pack rat. Not a hoarder. A pack rat. Neither sound good, do they?) but I just want them to get the feeling of what we're trying to set for our wedding: friends, family, fun, happiness, celebration, marriage and true love.
