I designed them on Microsoft Word and SnagIt Editor and saved as a .pdf according to the specifications from Vistaprint. I also ordered a business card version. I might get the adhesize magnet backing for them. Here it is, too.

STD - Ch-CH-CHECK!!!
Whee and WOOT! They are designed and ordered. I think they are cute. What do you think? (Lie to me if you don't like them because I've already ordered them.

Men's Wearhouse - Check!
I went to the Bridal Extravaganza in January and signed up for the Men's Wearhouse's little promotion. You can get $400 towards a suit or tuxedo purchase with at least six rentals. We knew we'd have enough rentals and L had been wanting a new suit.
L and I went back in March to get an idea of what he wanted for himself as well as the groomsmen. We were trying to decide between him buying the suit or a tux. We didn't make it back until June. There was a little confusion the next time we went in when the guy tried to find our information in the computer. We also found out that we wouldn't be able to purchase his new tux/suit until 14 days before the wedding date. What the what?!? This wasn't something that was in the fine print. Basically when we booked back in January, it was a new program. They had since created all of the rules, blah-blah-blah.
Here's the deal. L had already decided that he wanted everyone in tuxes. Fine. But that means you'll have to buy a tux, honey. He really didn't want to, as we don't have a whole heap of events in our lives that require a tux. However, if the guys are wearing a tux, he'd have to wear one.
Well he can rent one, you may be thinking. Umm no, not my overgrown honeylump. He's a big football player-type and still works out almost daily. To get an understanding - he has to order a size 56 - 60 jacket for it to fit his chest and shoulders...and a size 40, maybe 42 for his pants. Are you picturing the big ballooning jacket around his mid-section yet? They can't do any alterations on a rented tux other than moving the inner buttons. Uh, no sir. Not in my pics! So now we have to buy and have altered a tux for the wedding in only a 14 day time frame. (He's already talked to the lady who altered his last suit for him - she said it'll be fine.)
Anyhoo, here are some pics of the tuxes and accessories we've chosen. The tux is the Kenneth Cole Reaction three-button (L's will be a similar style but by Jones New York).
microfiber shirt (this is white) in ivory
L will be wearing this Tuscany Ivory vest.
The groomsmen are wearing the Primetime Wine Vest and Tie (L will be in a wine tie as well. maybe.) The second vest is the Tuscany Regency. I am thinking this might work as well. We will see once the girls' dresses come in!

Engagement Pics
I was feeling very stressed. My STDs (wedding planning talk - Save the Dates) should have gone out at the 6 month mark. That would be around June 18th. It came and went. July rolled on in. Well, I had to plan my pictures around my hair, so we had to wait until I got a fresh relaxer.
We finally set up for last Thursday. Our photographer, Ms. Anne Marie Darcy, scouted some locations for our early evening shoot. She had chosen a little local area park with trees that lined a walkway, a bridge (I can't remember the name) that has the Houston skyline in the background and then downtown for some urban-scape shots. I was trying to do all I could to maintain my hair and make-up in the Texas humidity! Well, it rained and was humid ALL last week and Thursday was no different.
We ended up having to push pause. However, we did get some good shots. Andplusalso, Anne Marie knew that I was desperate to get something to use so I could create my STD. She sent me 2 that I could use at like two in the morning! Whee! Here they are. I can't wait to get the rest or to finish the rest of the shoot sans rainstorm!
Will post my Save the Date shortly!
