my big day in preperation

i was in my creative mood earlier so i decided i wanted to try another invitation as i still like the gate fold card with the ribbon, but i had the problem of what to have on the front as the card with the silver patterns on cost alot of money so i went on the search of some type of embossing plates or something in my moms craft stuff and i came across once with these flowers and vines which was quite cool, i just used white pearly car but i will probably mat and layer i up on the front with some purple and / or black card, then i will print off my inserts and layer those on the inside.



i went to do some shopping at asda today (on the bus so i couldnt get alot due to the fact my mom has to get a new car) and i thought as i was there i should pick up some more candles before they sell out and i have to deal with just white ones, so i got another bag of 50 purple ones and a bag of 100 white ones, yes i know i just said i didnt want the white ones but i thought i would have the purple ones in the bowls and the white ones on the table or maybe mix it up a bit with some purple and some white in the bowls then the same on the table, as you can see below i have quite a few thing already. in the top picture it shows the 6 purple vases (that i first bought but then they sold out by the next time i went so i may just use them on the top table) thenthere are the cuff links we got at a steal of a price from primark at just £1 each so we got 7 sets. and there is about 170 candles in there too i do store the main bowls in there which you can just see at the top wrapped in paper.



this picture is of some of the purple candles i got in the little glass holders (as the hotel wont allow them to go on the table) i still need to go to ikea to get a few more of the holders.

i said to dave earlier that the main things we need to pay for is the church the hotel and the stationary, after that everything is like extras but i worked it out and i can save more than £200 per month from the beggining of next year so that will be plenty to pay for everything we need and extras.
