Save the Dates

January 4, 2010

So much for the writing every week thing. :P I have made quite a bit of progress. I bought my dress (yea!) and picked colors for the bridesmaids. We’re going with cornflower blue dresses from David’s Bridal and saffron sandals from Sseko Designs (see the fabric below). This awesome company was started in Uganda as a way for women preparing for university to make money to attend school. Most jobs are given to men, so this company has provided such an amazing opportunity for these women. Check them out online! www.ssekodesigns.com

We also practiced making our favors when I was home. Using my grandmother’s recipe, we plan to make cookies that are beach themed. The finished products in the picture below are what we will model our final cookies after. The unfinished product picture is the reason why my mom will not be asked to help. ;)

Kurtis and I have been working on our Save the Dates and hope to send them out this weekend. We went to a photo booth tonight to complete our project. This is our first attempt at the many DIY projects this wedding will entail, so hopefully this goes well! :)
