Exciting Mail Day

Exciting Mail Item #1: Our save-the-dates were scheduled to arrive today according to UPS tracking system, and I was SO PUMPED to see how they came out! When I asked Vader for an update during my planning period, he told me they hadn't arrived. Boo.

Then, when I got home and he somehow convinced me to look at the fridge for awhile with him*, I noticed our rockin' magnet right on the front! I want our guests to enjoy the surprise, so I will wait to post them until I hear they are being opened, but here's what the box looks like:

Now all that remains between save-the-dates and our guests is the USPS. And my purchasing many stamps. And a hand cramp or two from writing all those addresses. But, I promise, you'll see them soon!

The box on top is full of beautiful colored, patterned paper for invitations from the same company. Luckily for my wallet, we already have invitation kits picked out and bought!

Exciting Mail Item #2: Christmas gifts we've ordered for people! Not at all wedding-related, but it's nice to feel like I'm on top of things. I also got Vader a form with ThinkGeek points that allows him to make Millenium Falcon-shaped ice cubes, which I believe will be premiered in a beer during football this evening.

Exciting Mail Item #3: My wedding dress! The saleslady called today and told me my dress came in, and since they are running a free shipping special it will soon be en route to Mom's house, just in time for Christmas dress-up time!

Remember that "to do" list from a few posts back? Order save-the-dates: check!


*I'm gullible. Once, in college, Bridesmaid Fairy Tale awesomely worked with Vader to surprise me in VT for Valentine's Day, and all it took for her to get me down to where he was meeting me was "Bridesmaid Cupcake wants to show us something, but she won't tell me what it is."
