Girls Day In!!!

All the bridesmaids were nice enough to come help me stuff and stamp all the invitation Saturday, April 1st. Katie and Bethany were the first to arrive and we started the drinks to prepare for our daunting task!











As soon as Jen and Lori arrived, we began stamping all the envelopes. Then we continued to create two assembly lines where two of us placed labels on the outer envelopes and the other two stuffed the envelpes. Of course, Jen labeled and stuffed her own--no assembly line required for her! With all of their help, it only took us a bit under an hour to get them all done. We were lucky; no spills or messes.

As soon as the invitations were all set up, Kevin began to grill chicken kabobs. Once we were finished eating, the real hard part began. I bought two stamps and orange and lime green ink to add some extra flare to the outside envelopes. We quickly decided that was a job for Jen and Bethany--one who is crafty and always makes things look great and one who is responsible and careful-- two things the rest of us were not!


When all was really done, we began to relax and continued to drink. It was a beautiful day, so we took the party outside in the back yard.



Lori and Bethany and I rocked out to all our favorite songs. Lori even gave us a sneak preview of the song she is going to sing at the wedding during the sand ceremony.
This picture is just symbolic of how the girls day in kind of turned into wild night party in. This is just the beginning of the crazy girl pary Kevin came home to when he left the rink. Of course, he invited some of his friends too. Overall, it was a productive and fun time!
