Paper straws, Matchbooks, and Other frivolous things

Oh hey! Hi! Sorry I'm a day late this week - I'm making a few changes in my personal life and its been a little consuming these last couple of weeks, trying to fit everything together in a perfect little puzzle. Its been sort of like a tennis match, I hit the ball on the "wedding" side of the court and it travels back over to my "school/job" side of the court... and then back again. Right now with no huge looming wedding tasks, school/job have the ball.  My brain can only really focus on one major task at a time, unfortunately.

(I've got a lot on my plate right now. Get it??)

But, you know me, even when I don't have big wedding tasks to accomplish, I manage to still do something. Like ordering little custom matchbooks for our reception cigar bar and paper straws for our drinks bar!

And I need to rant about square envelopes. Remember how I mentioned that our Save the Dates are square? Well when I took one into the post office to assess the stamp situation - I learned that they are a tad oversize and are considered a package. Now, I knew I was getting into something a bit more expensive with these square envelopes... but I didn't know these tiny, 6in x 6in square envelopes would cost me .88cents per invite to mail. Thats right, TWO STAMPS! Ugh. So I left the post office $130 poorer, cursing square envelopes under my breath. The good news is that since each envelope requires two stamps, I purchased the King and Queen of Hearts stamps and every envelope will have one of each. Cute, right? 

As our "One Year Until" mark approaches quickly, I am definitely getting more and more excited. This time next year I will be one week away from my wedding - oh boy am I ready for that day! I can't wait to see everything come together and to be married finally.

Did you find it hard to juggle wedding planning with the rest of your hectic life sometimes?
