I purchased this Yellowbrick Graphics package that included all the digital copies. From there, you could get them printed yourself or she would put the amount you paid towards a print order if you have her print them. I went with option two because there are stripes on the back of the invite. Two sided items can get a little trickier when trying to print yourself.

Mickenzie, the owner of this shop (based in KC!!), did an amazing job and was so helpful throughout the process! She also does baby shower invites and all things wedding! If you have something big coming up, definitely take a look through her shop!

Happy Thursday!

bachelorette, bridal shower, Life, packing

Good morning!! I cannot believe I am just now writing this post! Sorry about that! After my bought with the flu, I gathered up myself and what I believed to be the essentials (forgot a bra!) and headed to Kansas City for Natalie’s bridal shower and bachelorette party! We obviously also snuck in a few margs and bowls of queso after Natalie’s final dress fitting! The whole weekend was amazing and I feel truly blessed to have such an amazing sister! After I gathered up what was left of myself the Sunday after the bachelorette party, I returned home to a relatively clean home thanks to my amazing hubby, but the paperwork, schoolwork, and life had piled up a bit! I am finally feeling caught up on that from this last weekend!! Sunshine definitely works as a great motivator!

So what about you? What have you all been up to lately?

Have a great Wednesday!!
Erin

Hello, dear readers!

I am so stinkin’ excited to share with you pictures of my bridal shower from this past weekend! I had the loveliest time. I can’t even begin to describe how happy I was throughout the entire weekend… it was an absolute ball!

One thing (out of many things) my sister is so fabulous at is throwing parties. She pays attention to the finest of details and makes it so special for everyone. Mom and Erin planned the whole thing as a surprise and I can’t thank them enough for all of the planning and hard work they put into the shower. And to my beautiful, fabulous friends that helped along the way… love you all!!

Okay, now for the pictures…

Mom and Erin’s fabulous shower gift! Kate spade toasting flutes and cake cutting set.

The amazing favors for the guests! Matches and a macaron candle.

Pink peonies as centerpieces.

Every party must include mimosas.

Pomegranate Fizz cocktail! So delicious.

Well wishes from all the guests. Such beautiful words of advice from everyone I love.

My heart skipped a beat when I took off the blindfold and saw the macaron tower!

Stay tuned for pics from the bachelorette party later this week! Again, Erin knows how to throw quite the soiree! 🙂

Happy Friday, friends!

We’ve got quite the weekend ahead of us. Below is our ’10 Things’ list for the week… what we have to celebrate, thoughts about the week behind us, and the exciting weekend ahead of us!

1. Erin made the long trip yesterday from Columbus, OH to Kansas City, MO for Nat’s bridal shower on Saturday! Erin and Mom planned the entire shower with it all being very hush hush… Nat doesn’t know a single detail! Ooooh the excitement!

2. To continue the wedding festivities, Nat’s bachelorette party is on Saturday night! Again, all very hush hush but sparkly dresses and cocktails will likely be in attendance.

3. On the agenda for this morning: coffee, nail salon, wedding dress fitting, then queso and margaritas! Heck yes!

4. Excited to announce that Erin and Matt became an auntie and uncle this week, their sister Brittany had a beautiful baby boy!!

5. Natalie matched in Memphis and some of her classmates are coming to celebrate this weekend to her shower and bachelorette… bring on the champagne!

6. Erin is finally over the flu. Matt…not so much–feel better honey!!

7. There is a serious amount of wine and pizza on the agenda for tonight. So excited for everyone to come over!!

8. It finally feels like Spring here in KC! Time to bust out the sandals!!

9. Matt and Tad both turned the big 28 in the last week. There has GOT to be a least one piece of cake around here.

10. Life feels pretty great right now. We have amazing friends and family. Thank you all for helping us celebrate all of these wonderful moments!

Cheers!
Erin and Nat
