Registry

So Justin and I registered at Bed Bath and Beyond yesterday. It went really well. He and I did disagree on some things but we never argued. It was a bit more extensive than I thought. You want to make sure you get the things you need down and that you give everyone lots of choices at different price ranges. Our Bed Bath and Beyond Registry is here.

We also got to register in our beginnings at Macy's and Crate and Barrel. Our Crate and Barrel registry is here. And our Macy's account is here.

It's hard to figure out where to register for what. Kitchen gadgets are good at Crate and Barrel, Linens, microwave and dining at Macy's and pretty much everything else at Bed Bath and Beyond.

But I was thinking about the things I know I'd like to have that I can't register for. How do i request them? Like thiswww.pendleton-usa.com

I have always wanted an Oregonian Pendleton blanket in my home. So I'll put the things i like from other places here and talk to my mother about them. hahaha.

I still need to register for silverware, table linens, bedskirt, various towel assortments, pots and pans, wine glasses and that's all I can think of at the moment.

I found a solution to my registry challenge. I have recently included a registry called my registry.com and on it I can combine all of the items from my registry as well as including a few others such as the pendleton blanket! The registry includes pictures and a guestbook, the guest password to keep the registry private is Laguna.

Bridesmaid Dresses

I trully think this is the one that is going to work. They are $60 each and custom made. I think they are perfect. I am smitten with this!

I also found $22 red shoes at Target! I couldn't grab a picture but I did grab the link!

So I want fun shoes, or a rain Jacket or a special Umbrella along with items like underthings and veil. I think it would set fun touches to our rainy wedding.

These are the shoes I found at Marshalls that normally go for 90 but I got for 50!


I liked these too! They were a concept I had with the rain.

Galoshes! listed as $49.99

These are the coats I'm contemplating for rushing away after the reception.

Reception Details

These are the things I was seeing for the reception.
http://www.etsy.com/listing/54593948/custom-couple-portraits-pair
I was thinking these could be great to incorporate throughout the whole wedding, invitations, or even by themselves.

http://www.etsy.com/listing/53929287/umbrella-table-numbers
If i could have these in blue or red or just the umbrella in red that would be great! Listed at $3.00 each.http://www.marthastewartweddings.com/photogallery/laura-and-ben#slide_12

Or I figured I could make my own like this bride. I would only need one umbrella stamp that I could stamp in any color and print the table number on a nice cardstock.
http://www.etsy.com/listing/54506273/baby-shower-bridal-shower-umbrella-hand
This stamp is listed as $8.00

I like this too but not exactly. I like the idea of the sign stuck up high in a bowl or a jar of some sort. Perhaps if there were to be a floral centerpiece or a centerpiece along the ball jar concept this could be stuck in there.

I think candids from the guests are just about the best things in the whole world. It's seeing your wedding through the guests perspectives! These are listed at 2.99 each.

I thought that this is a cute fun activity for the kids. It may not last forever but it's cute and inexpensive. I really like it. They have it where the kids take a picture of each one but I'm not sure I'd go that far.


http://www.marthastewartweddings.com/article/song-and-dance-conversation-starter
Instead of table number specifically on each table I discovered something different that also got guest to dance. Instead of numbers, a song title would be assigned to each table, or a certain group and then when that song plays everyone sitting there is invited to move onto the stage and dance to the song. I'm not certain I could pull it off but it could be fun.

This is the cake I fell in love with. Justin and my first date was at a crepery so it is sentimental to me.http://www.ladymconfections.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=31

It would have to be speacially shipped to Oregon if I got them from this gal, I'm going to look into seeing if any one else could make it.

This one is my current favorite.

These also would be delightful touches. They could rest on the tables, along hallways, if they had led lights in them outside. They are fairly inexpensive as well.

I'd really like this or something like it for the "thank you" picture from the day that we'd like to send with the thank you cards. I'm also considering using it for announcing each little event like, "first dance," or "cake cutting."

Or this is where I originally got the idea from
http://www.marthastewartweddings.com/photogallery/decoration-templates
Super cute! Plus i though it could be a fun way to incorporate other kids that will be there.


I like the idea of these in the foyer, food room, corners above the cake or throughout the entire ceiling.

But I wouldn"t want as many red as pictured and it might be cheaper to make them myself.Here is the tutorial to make them myself
There is also a tutorial on making them into a garland here.

Another garland I like is thisAlthough I don't like the many in a row. I think one strand would be cuter.
The tutorial to make it is here
