Our save the dates are officially ordered! I am so excited for them to come in, because I really worked hard on creating something fun and original for all of our guests. I chose to design a save the date magnet through magnetstreet.com. The prices were very reasonable and I got the product that I wanted, win win.

Our save the date magnets :)

Save the Dates have definitely become more popular in the last few years, my dad is always griping about "I thought you just had the rehearsal dinner and the wedding...what's all this new stuff like bridal showers and engagement parties," bla bla bla. My dad is kind-of similar, let me rephrase that, exactly like Steve Martin in father of the bride, except he doesn't cave in. Yesterday the subject of a wedding planner came up and he just really didn't get it. He couldn't understand and seriously wasn't even trying to understand all that a day-of wedding planner does, so that I myself and no one else in the family has to work or worry about anything on the day of the wedding. I think I might have to punch some numbers, create a visual display and present it to him before he gets it..haha

I know that there are plenty of people who do without a day-of wedding planner, and I am sure that we could do without one as well, I am just looking to not have to worry about anything on the day of my wedding and I really don't want to have to do any work. We'll have to see how it spans out, otherwise it might look like me setting up escort cards and making sure everything goes as planned and on schedule...yay!

For those of you who have gone to a wedding or perhaps even had your own wedding with the help of a wedding planner for the day of, any advise or recommendations on someone who is affordable? I can use all the advise I can get. And for those of you, like me, are planning all of the wedding on your own, check out these buys for some help. It is definitely great to have yourself organized and to have checklists, here are some books that will have everything you will need to help plan your dream wedding.
