Going Dutch!!

On Saturday, after the big party on Friday night, Raylee and I ventured to Pella, Iowa for the famous Tulip Time Dutch Festival! It was soo fun! The Tulip's were fantastic, people were outfitted in traditional Dutch dress, and all the Dutch food smelled (yes, smelled, I have to fit in a Bridesmaids Dress in 2 weeks and a Wedding Dress in less than 3 months!!) soo yummy! AND I get to go to another Tulip Festival this weekend! This festival is in Orange City...about 15 minutes from the Farm! I'm soo excited! Also, I can't forget the biggest events this weekend... both my Sister-in-laws-to-be are graduating!!! The Farmer's little sister will receive her Bachelors in Elementary Education from North Western College in Orange City and My Brother's soon-to-be wife will graduate Med School from LSU's School of Medicine in New Orleans!! I'm soo proud of them!! The next couple of months are going to be crazy busy! Tulip Festivals, Graduations, Weddings, Bridal Showers, Bachelorette Parties, Baby Showers, Family Vacation, Dress Fittings, Hair Trial Runs, and just the normal wedding planning stress! Maybe all the activities will make the days go by quickly! Here are a few shots from our day at the Tulip Festival!









































BachelorEDJE was a blast!!

Wow!! What a fun evening! It really made me realize how much I am gonna miss my co-workers when I move north to the Farmer's place, after the wedding! They are such a great group of girls and made me feel soo special!! Thank yall soo much!!!

Sneak Peak


While I was taking the overwhelming pictures of the invitation "thrupe" (That's Dutch for "Stuff," at least I think it is!?!?!) I thought I would sneak a picture of the Sash for my BachelorEDJE Party! This makes me less overwhelmed and more excited....ahhhh much better now ;)

Can you say overwhelmed!?!?!

Yesterday, my wedding fairy (Jen) and 2nd in command wedding fairy (Erin) printed and cut all the pieces to my invitations...It is alot! At this point I have only made 70 of the black cardstock envelopment's. I really need to get on the ball! Although, I did get all the addressing and stamping done! I had a custom return address rubber stamp made with our M logo and address...it turned out very cute with silver ink on the back flap of the black envelopes, then I wrote the addresses on the front in silver pen.
These pictures overwhelm me!!






I did order the stamps today! I am very pleased with the outside envelope cake stamp but the post card polar bear stamp for the RSVP leaves much to be desired!
cute! :)

not cute :(
