You Don't Have to Go Home, But You Can't Stay Here.

After the party its the after-party, right? The after-party is something that I have been torn about during the whole planning process. At my best friends wedding, the grooms parents rented a party bus for after the wedding, and let me tell you, it was SO. MUCH. FUN.

Here we are on the party bus. It came complete with a fully stocked bar and there may, or may not have been a stripper pole. The only thing I didn't like about the party bus was that the bride and groom weren't there. I'm sure they were tired and wanted to get back to their hotel room, but it would have been really fun to have them there with us.

So this is why I am torn on the after-party thing. I obviously want to spend as much time with our guests as possible, but will we be too tired at the end of the day? Maybe the adrenaline will be pumping so much that we wont want the night to end!

Did you have an after-party? Are you planning one?

Long Distance Friendships

Wedding planning is one of the greatest times in our lives. We are busy running errands with all our bridesmaids every weekend, champagne brunches in your honor and non-stop fun. But what happens when your bridesmaids, your bestest friends, live more than 2 hours away from you? You do that shit alone. Except maybe the party thing, I haven't thrown a party for myself in my honor... yet. :D

I'm sure a lot of us are in the same situation. We are at that age where everyone is starting their own lives and they can't just pick up and leave at the drop of a hat anymore. Of course I have my mom and Mr.PF to help me plan, but its not the same as having my closest girlfriends with me.

Have you had to deal with long distance friendships? How did you keep them involved?

Invitation Procrastination

I probably should have gotten my invitations out, ohhhhhhhhh say, yesterday? But here they are, still neatly packaged in the box they came in about 2 months ago.


I have absolutely no motivation to address these puppies, it just seems like so much work. The funny thing is, I was so excited to order them and get them. Once I got over their initial beauty it just seems like such a daunting task. Does anyone have any tips on getting through this pile of paper? A wine and pizza party perhaps?

What sort of wedding tasks are you procrastinating on?

Stacked.

I have been obsessed with the stacked ring look for a while now and I decided to try it out for myself.
This is the first combination I tried. I can't help but think I'm doing something wrong because it kinda looks like my finger is suffocating...


Then I tried putting a ring on both sides of my e-ring. Not terrible, but I didn't like how the top ring didn't sit flush. I'm very picky, I know.

Here is a combo with the pink band omitted. I really like that pretty little pink band, even though its really thin, I think it adds character :D



This last option was my favorite combination so far. By the way, you are probably thinking that I'm a total baller with all these diamond wedding rings, right? Not so much. They are CZ and I ordered them from InspiredSilver.com so I could play around with options before committing to a real ring.


So what do yall think? Did you go with a stacked look? How many rings did you stack?
