Place card or Poster? That is the question! :/

My mom and I visited a friend and we saw this different idea -
Or...should we just use place cards?
Hmm....

Flower Girl

AmAm, Gabbie's mom, sent me a picture of our special little girl with her special pink dress on :)

She's almost ready! Thanks, AmAm! :D

Paper products!

The paper products are almost done, thanks to Tita Linda Dimayuga!  Phew...

First up - the table cards:


We are incorporating locations that are important to Adrian and I so each table number is something different.  You can get to know us by going to different tables!

Next is the menu - YuM!



Lastly, the favor tags also.  



Printing production is currently in progress! Woohoo!

Updates!

The invitations were sent out today! Phew!

Also, after talking with Kate, I found out that my photography hours were not enough! So....what better way than to use my cousin and show off her skills!  Christina Whittaker will be shooting the rehearsal dinner, the girls getting ready, and the last hour of the reception.  Mark Marcojos, a friend who shot our engagement dinner, will be shooting the boys getting ready.  Thanks Christina and Mark!  You guys are the best!

Rehearsal Dinner

Thanks to the Antiguas, the rehearsal dinner is all set!  There was a lot of problems getting some type of location because of the large entourage and the expensive setting of St. Augustine.  However, Hilton Historic Bayfront hotel gave them a deal - free valet, free designing, great food, AND it's right beside the church.  Yay!

The banquet room will look like the picture above.  We are trying to really make it into a relaxed environment so the theme we have decided is beach/tropical. :)

Time is passing by...

So many things have changed since the last post -
1. I finished my specialty residency in Seattle
2. Moved out of my apartment and I have started living out of my suitcase for 1 month!
3. Travelled to the Philippines for 1 week
4. Spending time with my parents in Melbourne, FL before starting my job in Gainesville

As we speak, I have 55 days left!  Phew!  Almost there for the big day!

Things to do still:
-Reserve restaurant for bridal brunch
-Arrange centerpieces
-Get favors ready
-Mail invitations---ALMOST!!
-Buy random stuff (i.e., guest book pen, pins, etc)
-Compile songs
-Prepare the table numbers
-Get marriage license

These are the only things I can think of right now.  Blah!  Thank goodness for no working x 2 more weeks.  Just met with Kate today and we need to get to work!  Next meeting - August 8 in St. Augustine.
