(like the rod stewart song)
i'm an elder millennial living in the bay area who loves dark beer, the environment, and sewing for the tiny humans in my life.
so our invitations have thus far been embossed, addressed, lined, ordered (then reworked). next up was the RSVP cards.
so now that my invites had the names embossed and addressed it was time to turn my attention inside the envelope.
when we last left off with the wedding invitations i had lovingly embossed the names of all our guests on the invitations.
this past weekend my sisters and i went to austin for my "bachelorette" party.
in addition to bridesmaid dress shopping, day drinking, and succulent photographing we made a trip to craft, where for $10/hour you can use all their supplies and tools for whatever creative adventures your heart desires.
some girls have their weddings envisioned long before they are engaged, and the planning process is really just an exercise in execution. i am not one of those girls.
Maybe it's the election results or our recent binge watching of walking dead but these days I've been thinking a lot about my apocalypse plan.
my sister abby lives in a beautiful 100 year old portland home.
a few weeks ago i came across this giant piece of bark in the woods behind our friend's house.
over the past few years we've discovered a bunch of wacky stuff in our back yard: cast iron bath tub, vintage coke machine, and most recently several old disassembled engines.
as previously mentioned the show portlandia really speaks to my soul.
so in a shockingly turn of events the internet has picked up on the fact that i am a 25-34 year old female who is getting married. this means everyday i get a flood of messages, emails, and ads.
so our offical wedding hashtag is #theredwoodweddingofmaggieandvictor and on loveauntmaggie it's #auntmaggiegetsmarried. But if I'm being honest these nuptials would better be summed up with something else all together: #putafernonit
we have a new addition to the family! meet charlotte, maya's new doll.
I spent much of the weekend inside embossing names on our invitation envelopes. Yep embossed names on wedding invitations are now a thing, here is how I did it:
This past year my favorite birthday present was a tie between:
- the very satisfying game of thrones season finale
- the plant recipe book by baylor chapman that victor got me
okay so step one in wedding planning adventure: decide on a venue and date.
