Finishing up more stuff! Also, I hate printers. A lot.

I’ve spent the last two days designing and (attempting) to print wedding programs.  Knowing my luck when it comes to things like printers, I should have known that it wasn’t going to be smooth sailing — Dad and I spent all of last night fighting with the freaking machine (many expletives were thrown around), and we didn’t manage to actually get it working properly until late so when I finally hauled my ass home at 1:00 a.m. I’d only gotten half of them printed.  =_=;  I have no idea when I’m going to get the rest of them done.

Printing angst aside, I think they turned out well.  All I have to do is cut them all out and get busy folding these suckers.

Other pretty graphicy-type things: Stephan from Flashworks finished the design for our event graphic to go on the photo strips, and I’m really pleased with how they turned out.  He was really good about matching the design up to our invitations and colors.  Very pretty~

I received an email from the linen rental place today asking to confirm everything on our order for Saturday, and it’s a good thing I did because we were paying for a lot of extra chair covers and linens we didn’t need… Um, we only have 95 guests coming, I don’t think we require 135 chair covers.  o_O  Anyway, got that all fixed up and ready for pickup on Friday.

Went out to the Candy Bouquet in St. Albert yesterday and bought a $20 bag of sweet heart candies to put on each table for people to nibble on~  :3

Also, it was brought to my attention the other day that we should probably have some sort of music playing to fill the awkward void for the 2 – 3 minutes of gaping silence that will occur while we sign the register during the ceremony.  So after a quick look through my iTunes, I’ve now added an extra song to the ceremony list that will play during that part, “Heartbeats” by Jose Gonzalez.  (It’s the song from the happy Bravia bouncy ball commercial!  *Glee!*)

We also finally got to bring home my wedding dress!  X3  It’s hanging all pretty and sparkly at my parents house and is all “Wear me!  Please wear me!  Oh for gods sake, why aren’t you wearing me?!” Poor dress.  Don’t fret.  Your day is coming.  (IN FOUR DAYS!)
