Something blue… on your shoe

I just stumbled upon one of the sweetest ideas ever for the ’something blue’ part of my wedding attire:

Hat tip to Tales of a Female Husband (great find! you rock!!) who notes:
This bride had her attendants write wishes on her shoe as her “something blue.” A tradition I’ve heard says that the gal whose name [...]

My baby boom guest list

It’s been four days since the RSVP deadline–or in my case, the ‘book by’ deadline. The procrastinators have finally been mobilized.
