</span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This year we will be our first year sending out joint <a href="http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/christmas-photo-cards">holiday cards</a> and I can't wait to order them, just need to find the right pictures to include in the card. After having such great responses on our <a href="http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/thank-you-cards">wedding thank you cards</a> from <a href="http://www.shutterfly.com/">Shutterfly</a>, we decided to also get them as our holiday card. We got sooo many compliments on the thank you cards! Guests loved them because it had all our wedding information (venue, date and church) and a picture of us on our wedding day! Guests who were not able to make it but had generously sent us a gift, had especially loved getting the shutterfly thank you card because they were able to see a snapshot of that day. </span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So the decision on what type of holiday card to get was easy but Shutterfly has sooo many cute designs that it will be very hard to pick exactly which card we want to send out. </span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Check them all out here <a href="http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/holiday-cards">holiday cards</a>.</span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

I can't believe it's already been 16 days since the wedding, at times it feels like it yesterday and others it seems so long ago like a dream that didn't really happen. Everyone keeps asking me"was it what you hoped for" and I always answer it was MORE than WE could have ever hoped for. Our wedding was amazing not only because of us, but because of everyone that had their part in it. From the very beginning we had decided that our wedding was not just about us getting married, it was also about our families and friends blending. One of my favorite comments that someone told us was that we were "the most loving, generous, inclusive and happy bride and groom of all time" this made me so happy to hear!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Here are a few tips that helped ensure that we enjoyed ourselves:</span><br />
<br />
<ol><li>Make an agreement with your fiance, your families and the wedding party that no matter what, you ALL will enjoy the day and won't let anything bother you, because all that matters is that we are all together. <i>No stress, no worries, no drama for yo momma. </i></li>
<li>Let go and just be. <i>My dad told me that he really liked how my husband (he he) and me were true to ourselves, he could see were we were not pretending to be a certain way, that we were enjoying every moment. We weren't worried of what people would say or think. As mi amor & I frequently say to each other when the other one is not understanding us "Just love me".</i></li>
<li>Remember the wedding is not about the dress, the venue, or the decor, it's about proclaiming in front of all those that you love that you found your soul mate & you want to share that moment & celebrate it with them. Enjoy each moment with everyone that is there. <i>My hubbie said the day after that it was the best day of his life, for me too it was the best day of my life. Some tell you that it shouldn't be the "best day" of your life because you are setting yourself up for disappointment saying nothing will compare to that day, but for us this is not the case. It was the best day of our life because it was the day we married the person we always dreamed of, because it marked the day that we blended our families into one and because we got to spend 3 days partying with those most important to us in the entire world. </i></li>
</ol><div><i>This is us entering after we took the bride & groom pictures, thankfully my little bro (also groomsman) hooked us up with some <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pisco_Sour">Pico Sours</a>, and as you can see, people came up to us as soon as they saw us. The guy in the black tux on the right is my groomsman, he was on the hunt for some apps for her since cocktail hour was just about to end.</i></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiad9ik_k8Gpc-FkXJ6kRnqGSSyXxqQIy8kKyxMqmVP6NuOvOdTmzmnoqV4VPjTiGj2M6ZGKeWXBU16_4ig2Z33N_vXBXrRdFgYogXvCtEtv-LRFhg7Lhr3t_Ok7h12g5A8cWUw9KX8XYo/s1600/IMG_0884.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiad9ik_k8Gpc-FkXJ6kRnqGSSyXxqQIy8kKyxMqmVP6NuOvOdTmzmnoqV4VPjTiGj2M6ZGKeWXBU16_4ig2Z33N_vXBXrRdFgYogXvCtEtv-LRFhg7Lhr3t_Ok7h12g5A8cWUw9KX8XYo/s400/IMG_0884.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><i><br />

Yes, this was at the wedding and no I don't remember taking this picture but anyway... I digress...<br /><br />So my speech: I'll be honest, I was four drinks in when I gave it and I ended up not using any of the versions of the speech I had intended (there were three) but if I say so myself people really loved it.<br /><br />A few guidelines for giving a great speech:<br /><br /><ul><li>MAX IT OUT AT 3 MINUTES. Mine was 2:22 exactly. I even said at the beginning that I would keep it short just so I remembered to do just that. </li><li>Use an anecdote. Relate it to recent events, music, movie, something that the crowd can really relate to.<br /></li><li>Just talk about the couple. Like how you met them, your interactions and observations.<br /></li><li>Make a take away. I wanted to make my speech a "What I learned about love from ____ and ____." People were really into that. I mean you should be able to find something from every couple because why else would they be getting married unless they had been putting something extraordinary into the relationship.<br /></li><li>Use a format: beginning, middle and end (resolution). I was on the speech team in high school and my favorite competition was the impromptu speech. Impromptu speech was always 2 minutes long and you were always supposed to lead in with a few explanations, some witty observation and end it with a learning point. I somehow managed to pull out that formula (unbeknownst to me).<br /></li></ul>If you want some more points about speech making or would like me to type out some parts of my speech, I might just do that...JThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16415794248887579840noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796544022153083083.post-81192339998350562032010-04-01T07:01:00.000-07:002010-04-01T07:01:00.101-07:00<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgtSyXGd9bgtuMjQRpsIVku3uHbdvYWk49GTbMyoPx0yct36o0uYXpKBhOBqzOTxG1LdSibXJMqzZTBqt7xdmQJo1ufRBjKchLQC5eo5n6nPuu6WO2IVK1qMWmUV19aBpOXVfhDIJu9v0/s1600-h/iz2p34.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390624456222464578" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgtSyXGd9bgtuMjQRpsIVku3uHbdvYWk49GTbMyoPx0yct36o0uYXpKBhOBqzOTxG1LdSibXJMqzZTBqt7xdmQJo1ufRBjKchLQC5eo5n6nPuu6WO2IVK1qMWmUV19aBpOXVfhDIJu9v0/s400/iz2p34.jpg" style="display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a> {Source<a href="http://leloveimage.blogspot.com/"> Le Love</a>} </div>You'll know when he is the one...the first time you look into his eyes you know something is different, you won't even question whether he is the one because there is no one else in this world that you can imagine being with.

Although bachelorette's are typically a surprise, I don't think the whole thing should be, I mean it's this girl's wedding and shame on you if you should happen to make the wrong decision on venue, dinner, games, outfits, WHATEVER keep some things under wraps, but if you need feedback on something - ASK for it.<br /><br />2) Herd people. Attendants to bachelorette party can vary from 7-20 people - all of whom do not know each other. Start email chain of open communication or create an event on Facebook so people can talk to each other and get a conversation going before the party.<br /><br />3) Check in, like, A LOT. People will typically ask you a lot of questions, (especially about cost) which you may not have the entire answer to, keep following up with people to let them know what's going on (waiting on xyz, should be hearing back from abc, etc) to deflect the possibility of a cancellation. (Out of town bachelorettes like Vegas are tough, especially because of travel expenses for the individual, hotel stay etc. the in town ones are too small scale at times and could leave the bride with a less than desirable "event" feel.)<br /><br />4) Be flexible - don't kill yourself over what your itinerary (oh and BTW HAVE an itinerary for events for the weekend with venues, meets, times, etc and SHARE them with the party) make sure that the things that are most important to happen (games, strip club, dancing, dinner or whatever) - actually happen and smaller less important ones can be rid of accordingly).<br /><br />5) Props - definitely fun, we passed on the whole "penis" theme with the exception of straws and went for a more fun going out attire and accessories so the bride didn't look the fool and was not afraid to take some pics.<br /><br />6) <span style="font-weight: bold;">Take feedback and listen to others... but at the end of the day the Bride trumps the majority. </span>People tend to have eclectic friends, some who don't party some who party to much and when it comes to things like venues and activities some might be more willing than others, instead of answering questions or requests prevent such things by letting people know BEFOREHAND when sending itinerary that this is what the bride wants to do, loves to do, is excited about etc. I remember a few moments in Vegas when a couple of folks tried to move the party and came up to me for executive party movement. After a few nos I finally said, "WW wants to stay here." BAM! Just like that, dissolved.<br /><br />7) SAVE UP!!! You *need* need to have several hundred dollars saved up or a clean credit card when anticipating bachelorette party, you'll have to cover all expenses keep receipts and later divvy up the tab among the crew (KEEP YOUR RECORDS.)<br /><br />8) Be a spin master, if anything negative comes up (drunken brawl - oh wait, that was me actually hehehe), someone gets sick, passes out, or what have you. Be calm cool and collected, laugh it off highlight the bright side, after all the last thing you want is that one bad thing, ruin the weekend and be the only thing that the party and the bride walk away remembering.<br /><br />Oh yeah and take good pictures, videos, and plan for back up peeps (bridesmaids are good for such things). Know your supporters.<br /><br />Peace!!!JThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16415794248887579840noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796544022153083083.post-28951337172448238982010-03-25T10:23:00.000-07:002010-03-25T10:23:38.968-07:00Happpy Blog Birthday to Chic 'n Cheap Living and a Giveaway!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioRc90Tc2Vh_sxQs0GmReTVw4GISIfWYpl_RQJVHl_Pscg9-Rpal-OM_3c4JYJK7thEAE_6aF4oqIYiEoYkcEtsML4kW6JfiaWGcly1zb12pnlhCs1yxIAEBFlCSKzBulNyTcZSpZZelU/s1600/Birthday+cake+heart.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioRc90Tc2Vh_sxQs0GmReTVw4GISIfWYpl_RQJVHl_Pscg9-Rpal-OM_3c4JYJK7thEAE_6aF4oqIYiEoYkcEtsML4kW6JfiaWGcly1zb12pnlhCs1yxIAEBFlCSKzBulNyTcZSpZZelU/s320/Birthday+cake+heart.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I am so sorry for being MIA the past few months, once the 3 month mark hit all of a sudden work was extremely busy and wedding planning took over all my free time. I got so busy that I did not even have time to respond to personal emails which for me is crazy because I have an iphone! So I am so sorry about being MIA but I promise to blog about everything as soon as the wedding is over which is in 17 days! AH! But until then I will try to post about some more resources that have helped me along the way, most relate to my precious iPhone andGoogle. Without further adeu I present you google form for RSVP! If I could have only done online RSVP I would have but I was not sure that some of our guests would be down with it. These are some of the reasons that I liked about creating an RSVP form through google:<br />
<br />
<ol><li>Linking the form to any website & therefor not being limited to any certain wedding website.</li>
<li>Choosing exactly what I want the RSVP form to say.</li>
<li>Being able to change the form at any time. In my case my parents had first said it was up to us what we wanted for the food so we chose stations & buffet, one month before the wedding they tell us they want sit down dinner, this was a problem considering we did not ask our guests what they wanted because we were doing buffet but for guests who went online we were able to update the form and ask them what their food choice was.</li>
<li>Making questions mandatory like leaving a comment he he!</li>
<li>The items in the form get automatically put into a google document that you can share with your significant other, you can get notified as soon as someone submits the form and you can use the information on the excel for placecards, thank you cards etc.</li>

</div><div>The first page of the form, it asks for the person's name & email address. I created the form to take the person to a certain page depending on their answer. If they delightfully accept it then goes to the next page2, if they regretfully decline then it takes them to the last page and asks them to leave a comment.</div><div><br />

In addition to my bridesman/Bff & groomsmen who have tried to keep me sane & help out as much as they can, I also have another life saver - my assistant aka & right hand man, my iphone!!! It's been a while since I told you about some of my iphone apps that have helped me with wedding planning, and with only 71 days till the wedding, these 2 apps help me know exactly how many days till each wedding related event.<br />

I hear so many brides say that they didn't want to keep everything till the last minute but then somehow did..I am know understanding how this occurs. Work has been extremely busy & the wedding to do list has taken over all my free time. Once again I have over 1K unread posts in my google reader, I think I am going to unsubscribe from all wedding blogs that do not belong to a "real bride blogger" because I rather spend the little time I have reading all your wonderful blogs & hearing about your experience. </div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">1. I bought some tins for about $1 at Cost Plus at their after Christmas sale, I then put some <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00006IBNJ?ie=UTF8&tag=westsweddi-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00006IBNJ">Goo Gone</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=westsweddi-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B00006IBNJ" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important;" width="1" /> on them that I bought at Michaels to remove the Christmas sticker on them. This was so easy! </span><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">2. I made a template in word, this took a long time only because I can spend hours finding the perfect font (perfect for me) and I also had to figure out how to center everything. The template says "If you've partied too hard relief is at hand..." <br />
</span><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">3. I printed it out and cut the sheets in half vertically with my <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00019DTRQ?ie=UTF8&tag=westsweddi-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00019DTRQ">Fiskars Paper Trimmer</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=westsweddi-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B00019DTRQ" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important;" width="1" />, this way I could put them through my <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00013MUVS?ie=UTF8&tag=westsweddi-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00013MUVS">Xyron XRN510</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=westsweddi-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B00013MUVS" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important;" width="1" /> four at a time and not waste too much permanent adhesive. Then I trimmed them again individually. </span><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">4. Bridesman & mi amor assembled the tins, removing the backing of the adhesive and sticking the paper on the tin.</span><br />

With less than 80 days to go, it's been very stressful at the lovie dovie ranch. The time has come to stop researching and start getting things done. Problem is I spend too much time researching and not enough doing and on top of that I am *very* bad about asking for help, I tend to do things on my own, it's partly because I feel bad about asking people & partly because of that age old saying "If you want something done right do it yourself"...well in the case of the DIY that I did on Tuesday this saying did not hold true whatsoever! If it wasn't for my bridesman I would have been lost on how exactly to cut my DIY matchbooks. Bridesman and Groom both know that I do not ask for help, so unbenost to each of them, they both offered to help me out as soon as they saw me with printed cardstock, glue sticks, exacto knives, paper cutter & matchbooks.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh14MdIwqgqHYlc9H93DrNgkUKHwT5wosWFLOgLJS5Y8i8Nxc4YvsWfvqITeba0nd2nNY-0YfmdKytZ6FzavHdc9MWSmoKG-_rLCWdxFkM66eRBGVN9aGXgpRH29YSaue20wQEznrlYLPo/s1600-h/IMG_3069.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh14MdIwqgqHYlc9H93DrNgkUKHwT5wosWFLOgLJS5Y8i8Nxc4YvsWfvqITeba0nd2nNY-0YfmdKytZ6FzavHdc9MWSmoKG-_rLCWdxFkM66eRBGVN9aGXgpRH29YSaue20wQEznrlYLPo/s320/IMG_3069.JPG" /></a><br />

Tuesday I decide that I am finally going to make the monogram matchbooks for the cigar bar, I did not think it was too complicated since I had 4 <a href="http://delicious.com/">delicious</a> bookmarks for wedding matchbooks, one from Project Wedding *<a href="http://www.projectwedding.com/wedding-ideas/personalized-match-boxes-for-dummies">here</a>* and three from Style Me Pretty *<a href="http://www.stylemepretty.com/2008/10/28/diy-project-custom-matchbooks/">here</a>* , *<a href="http://www.stylemepretty.com/2009/06/10/diy-project-custom-matchbooks-2/">here</a>* (with template), and <a href="http://www.stylemepretty.com/2009/11/30/diy-matchbooks-by-papermade/">this one</a> that has the template that proved very useful to me. I managed to figure out how to place the <a href="http://westsidewedding.blogspot.com/2009/08/jeff-williams-made-my-monograms-reality.html">monograms</a> that <a href="http://jefw.com/">Jeff Williams</a> created for us onto the template but once I printed them on white card stock from Michaels, it was hard to figure out how to cut them exactly and that is where Bridesman saved the day! He saw me struggling and stepped in immediately! Once he figured out where they needed to be cut we had an assembly line, Fiance was responsible for peeling away the cover of each matchbook, & bridesman and I cut the paper, used glue stick to attach the paper to the matchbook cover and then assembled the matchbooks back. I was truly touched by how bridesman & fiance stepped in and helped me without waiting for me to say a single word. Without them I would be lost and alone with only my DIY materials to keep me company. Oh and my little brother who came home after the matchbooks were already complete, wanted to help too but since we had already finished he helped me out by cleaning everything up & doing the dishes. *Tear* Are these men not amazing?! Who would have thought that the three people to help a bride out were then men in her life?! Did you have help with your DIY?<br />
