And the Wedding plans continue . . .

We did our Engagement "Photo Shoot" and got the pictures back (proofs via an online gallery). The photographer we're using--Luminaire Images--is truly remarkable. My fiancee and I are two people who don't think we look all that good in photos, so we were pleasantly surprised to see how good they came out. We'll be using one shot for wallet-sized invitation inserts, another for a display photo at the wedding, and another for an 11x14 canvas print (we had the option to use the display photo as a "sign the matte around the picture" thing, but I think we're going to use a traditional guestbook instead). So, photographer: check.

Now we're dealing with invitations, which is really more or a headache than I thought it would be. Style-wise, we're somewhat limited by budget. Budget-wise, we're just limited. The most recent estimate came in at almost $10.00 per invitation (we need something like 50), and made us take a very serious look at Evite. We looked online at some of the order-on-the-Internet stuff, and saw some nice invitation styles, but nothing that made us drool all over the keyboard. So, invitations: pending.
