Wedding Craziness: 27 days left!

I'm having another late night because I keep thinking about all the things I need to do for the wedding. I have always had a hard time sleeping at night because I can't turn my brain off (thanks dad, that was definitely from your genes) and planning something as huge as a wedding definitely doesn't help me sleep! Oh well, I did get quite a few things done tonight, which makes me feel a little better. I updated our wedding website with instructions on how to upload photos to our smugmug site. Since a lot of people have digital cameras, we're hoping that people will share any photos they take at the wedding on our smugmug site so that we get copies of them all! I sent an e-mail to some family members with various level of computer literacy to see if my directions make sense to them before I print these up to give to people at the wedding. I also sent my future mother-in-law the list of people for the rehearsal dinner. A few things I can check off as done! Hooray!

I can't believe how close the wedding is. It's only 4 weeks away! I tried to add a countdown (as suggested by lauri), but the blogger countdown seems to be broken. Oh well, I'll countdown in the title from now on.

Here are some pictures of the samples we received of our favors. I'm so excited for them! They're winter themed cookies! Everyone likes cookies, so hopefully we won't end up with 100 of them left behind, and it gives people a snack at some point, and they're cute :)

We're only going to use a few of these designs, but aren't they adorable?! And they are absolutely delicious. I was very excited to find a local bakery (The Cookie Lady) that made these within our budget...my future mother-in-law had been suggesting we make the cookies ourselves and I was slightly overwhelmed at that thought. I'm much happier paying people to do things for me at this point. Also, this bakery is so wonderful, they win the award for kindest wedding vendor. We were trying to decide which ones to use and they told us that the mittens were $1 more per dozen because they wouldn't already be making those (they will be making more Christmasy designs to sell in the shop). So being the practical bride that I try to be, I said no mittens. The next day I got a phone call from them saying that she talked to her boss and they just think the mittens are so cute, so they will give them to us at the same cost as everything else. I thought that was the nicest thing ever! It was so thoughtful of them, it just made my week!
