7/365 days of blogging.

So we’ve finally decided on what save-the-date photo to use.  I like having her photo in black and white against all the subtle colors around it.  This was taken from She’s Full of Scrap‘s kits.  (It pays to have sisters in the business.

My friend decided to have this printed thru Office Depot.  She wants it printed on magnetic paper so that the recipients of the cards can just post them on their fridges.  I didn’t even know that Office Depot does that now.  They would even cut it to specs  so that’s one less thing that my friend and I have to do if we did this ourselves.

So what’s new with the preparations?  My friend’s mom and dad are going home to the Philippines this month so my friend and I thought that it might be a better idea to get a lot of our materials from the famous Divisoria and Tutuban markets and ask her parents to bring them back to the US.  We’ve decided to have  her daughter’s gown done by my friend’s former seamstress.  We’ve also asked the seamstress to do the table  linens and the backdrop for the stage.   Nothing really beats the Philippines when it comes to materials for parties.  Even the venues back home are actually much better than here.  I guess, it stems from the perpetual “fiesta atmosphere” back home.

I’m missing the Philippines again…
