30 Days!

I missed the blogging by a couple days, but we are just shy of 30 days until the wedding! We are still working on final details including our vows, car arrangements, and how in the world we are going to fit all of my stuff into one vehicle :)

A few things that you DON'T need to bring: beach towels, beach toys for the kids, chairs and umbrellas can be rented on the beach, and food and drinks (unless you have special dietary requirements).

Remember to pack: sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, a light sweater or jacket in case it gets chilly at night, and a light rain jacket.

We ask that you PLEASE DO NOT BRING GIFTS to Florida because we will have limited space in our vehicle and we won't be going home right after the wedding. They can be mailed to: Jason & Stephanie
                                               4903 West Portland St.
                                               Springfield, MO 65802

If you are flying into Fort Walton Beach, we need to know your arrival time so someone can pick you up from the airport! Please get with Stephanie or Jason so we can plan accordingly.

Stay tuned for details on things to do in Destin, but pay attention because a couple of the activities require a reservation by next week! I will get that posted ASAP.

RSVP

By this time, I am hoping you have all received the wedding invitations! I would love for everyone to RSVP as soon as possible so we can get a head count for catering, gifts, and living arrangements. I know some of you have verbally told me "yes" or "no", but my mom has her own system to keep track so simply checking the appropriate box on the RSVP would be VERY helpful. 

Also, since this is a destination wedding we know that not all of our friends and family will be able to attend, so we will have a celebration at Mom and Dad Archer's in June. Stay tuned for details.  

60 Days...

60 Days Until the Wedding!

Without spoiling the surprise, I worked this weekend on part 1 of my gifts for the wedding party. I had an great partner in crafting the project, my awesome neighbor and friend, Missy. Thank you for all of your help!!

I also found out that my wedding dress will be shipped to Texas on March 29th and then shipped to St. Joseph, so I will have my first fitting in April :)

Mom and I were busy this past week - we finalized our caterer, flowers, and table arrangements around the house for the reception. It's starting to feel very real!

Invitations

Mom is busy with cutting...

Gracie decided she wanted to help too!

 

Mom and I spent Saturday and Sunday assembling the invitations! My mom did most of the work - printing, cutting, and stamping to get it all ready; I just had to address each invitation! The invitations should be mailed out within the week, so keep an eye out!

Registry Questions Answered!

After my Bridal Shower, it was brought to my attention that is has been difficult to find Jason and I on the registry at Target. Since we are getting married in Florida, it thinks we live in Florida - when you search try to just search either Stephanie Archer or Jason Shields in FL (not MO). I have a picture of us so you know it is us!

We are also registered at www.myregistry.com - when you go to the website click on the search bar on the top of the website and just type in Stephanie Archer or Jason Shields (give it a minute) and then a drop down bar will appear with our names.

Please make sure you either select what you purchased online or at Target have the cashier scan the blue sheet so we only get what we need!

Thank you in advance - Stephanie and Jason

Bachelorette Party!

 

Kelly and Jymme-Lyn also out did themselves when planning my Bachelorette Party! We had a great day full of EVENTFUL activites. Thank you ladies for all who came out to celebrate with us!

Bridal Shower - Springfield

 

This past Saturday Kelly and Jymme-Lyn threw a Bridal Shower. We had a beautiful shower filled with lots of pink decorations and great friends and family. Thank you to all who were able to come!
