I think we have a reception site

I just emailed our deposit and catering agreement form to the events coordinator at our #1 reception site. Hopefully he can read the scanned form and will email me back tomorrow to let me know the date and time slot is ours!


Something will have to be done about the chairs, but that can hold off for now.

It will be a pretty huge relief to know that the two of the biggest "to do" items are completed already. Then it will be time to move on to details (or ya know, moving on to items such as finding a place to live when our lease is up in July, or finding a job where I can make good money now that I'm a college graduate) and take a bit of a breather from some of the wedding planning. We sort of skipped over some of the inital fun to dos including sending out annoucnements or actually letting all of our friends and family know that we're getting married. None of MJ's siblings (minus his sis) have seen the ring, or even us for that matter since we've been engaged. Seems like there is an engagement party to be planned, engagement photos to be taken (they don't need to be over the top), and annoucements to be mailed out to those nearest and dearest to us.
This one is cute, only I want some color in it. Only black and white feels too severe for a Spring wedding, especially in Carmel, even if it is in the evening.


A few days ago I was looking online for announcement ideas and I saw a really cute save the date with photobooth looking pics, and the bottom simply said Save the Date and the date of the wedding. I think we'll end up doing something similar, especially if we're going to be doing a black and white theme. Which the more I think about it, the more appealing it's becoming. Black and white and an accent color (I'm not sure if green is that color but I'm having a hard time letting go of green in our wedding, hmm) but I don't want it to be pink, I'm tossing green around, and really what else is there that can hold its own against black and white? I guess it's back to Google Images for me.


How did you come up with the color scheme for your wedding? Was it an easy decision for you?
