Future In-Laws

Joe and I got a call from Carl, Joe's dad this morning. He asked us if we need any help for the wedding. I met Joe's dad and his wife in April 2006 when Joe took me to meet his family the first time. Ever since Joe and I are engaged, Carl and Sandy have really make me feel like part of the Vautour's family. Last year, they sent us a christmas card, and they wrote, " To my son and my daughter-in-law to be"... ahhhhh... wasn't the sweet? This year, their card wrote, "To Mr. and Mrs. future-to-be Vautour"... though I have not become a Vautour yet... I feel that they have validated my status and that they are happy to have me as part of the family. :-)

Although they have not finalized their travel plan yet... I really hope that they will arrive a few days before the wedding so that Carl and Sandy and my parents will be able to meet and have a nice pre-wedding dinner together!

BM's Dresses and FG's Dress

Ok... here is an update on BM's dresses and FG's dress:

1. Rose's BM dress will be arriving in two weeks.

2. Got an e-mail from Joe's sister, Carla the other night. She had ordered the FG dress and she will be taking Kaytlin for the first dress fitting soon.

3. Loretta's dress will be arriving in the beginning of March, along with my two evening gowns.

Wedding Invitations

While Joe was playing his new Nintendo WII (one of his several christmas presents) yesterday, I managed to put all the wedding invitations together, with RSVP cards and all. Next we will need to do is to update / revise our guest list, and the invitations will be going out in mail on February 1 as scheduled!

Wine Labels

Got a day off today (YAY!!!), so today will be a wedding DIY day. Joe is working today so I have the whole house all myself! HaHaHa! :-)

Came up with a few designs on the wine labels last night. At first I thought it was hard to do, but after chatting with a few webers on weddingbells.ca I found out that this task is totally manageable. So here are my designs.

Costs: two rolls of double-sided tapes, one glue stick, printing at Staples and many many hours of coming up with the label designs! (gee! Never thought that I can be so crafty!!!)

Men and Wedding Planning

I guess men are not good with wedding planning. They would like to help, so to give support as what they will call it, but they'd rather be somewhere else.
That makes me wonder... should the groom be participating in the wedding planning or not?
