Since our wedding was three weeks ago, I figure it’s safe to post our invite suite. We opted for a customized version of Spice Grace from Invitation Consultants. Once the invites arrived, I noticed that the mailing envelope was rather dainty. Given the abuse that our save the dates took getting mailed to our roommates, I began to entertain the idea of creating a protector for my beloved invites. In a… View Post »
15-minute wedding craft
As I mentioned, I have a few post wedding crafts. My first was to convert our cake toppers to art. We purchase Lillian Rose cake toppers from AC Moore. I purchased them with either 55% off or 60% off coupons. Sadly, the “M” broke as our wedding planner was cleaning up. She began apologizing profusely and offered to buy us a new one.

Long story short, we didn’t use all of them, so I bought several for the Outer Banks restaurants we were interested in trying. We decided to… View Post »
An Outer Banks sunrise
Saturday marked the last day of our honeymoon. We had to check out of the house by 10 am. Being ever so ambitious, we decided to wake up and watch an Outer Banks sunrise. A quick look at the Farmer’s Almanac online noted that sunrise on June 16 was at 5:45 am. We both set alarms for 5:30. We woke up, threw on our sweatshirts, and headed to the beach…. View Post »
