More Wedding MadLibs!

The RSVPs have been rolling in every day! So I thought I'd share this past week's batch of "Celebrating this night will be _______." And a few more pictures of our pretty invitations.








And a few pictures of our pretty invitations:










Yes, I realize "White House" should be two words. But, I spent about a million hours addressing these, and I wasn't about to redo it.


If you're counting, so far, that's 24 people joining us in Las Vegas! I must say, I am impressed by the MadLib creativity!..And yes, for those of you who haven't mailed your RSVP yet, you should totally consider this a challenge. :) Can you top these MadLibs?

First RSVPs!

Look what we got in the mail today!


Not one...not two...but THREE RSVPs! Woohoo!

Three big winners! First friend to RSVP goes to .... drumroll ... Wind Goodfriend! First bridal party member to RSVP ... it's a tie ... Chris and Wally Okpych! And finally, first family members to RSVP goes to Fred and Dolores Brandt, Erik's grandparents! Their prize? A feeling of superiority.

Of the three, only Chris and Wally interpreted "Celebrating this night will be ________" the way we intended. As wedding madlibs!


To be fair, 1) We realized this was open to interpretation, and it had potential for confusion. and 2) I told Chris what it was for. :)

So if you're counting, as of today, that's 5 confirmed guests. Keep those RSVPs coming!

As an added bonus, Erik and I decided we should pose in the most ridiculous ways possible with our first RSVPs. (Sorry for the blurriness...took these really quickly.)





So who looks more ridiculous? Ann or Erik? Our comment section is fixed (knock on wood) so feel free to vote below!

Invitations...

...are in the mail!

(Some of) The invitations!
We worked from 8:00-12:30 Friday night, and most of the day Saturday. Crazy how long this takes. Erik was in charge of the glue gun, the return address, the postage, and assembly. I spent all of that time hand addressing 50 envelopes.

July 22...Erik and the postage.
July 22...Me and the calligraphy pen.
Anyway, I can't say it was the most fun part of the whole process, but it's done! And it feels good. It feels like the wedding is going to be here in no time, and I'm getting more and more excited. :)

Today...Erik at the post office.
I'll post picture of the finished product soon (wouldn't want to "ruin the surprise" for our guests)!

So who's following our progress? Post a comment and make me feel validated. :) And wedding guests, post a comment when you get your invitation! What do you think of our handiwork?
