Addressing invitations / Tara's sashes.

Tara is making sashes for all the bridesmaids to help tie everyone's look together. Here are the home made ribbon parts of the sash that Crystal helped her sew.



Crystal thinks of another possibility for the ribbon.



Max has another idea.



After Alex finished printing everything, Tara and Crystal addressed all the invitations and wrote out the names on the rsvp cards.

Just went to another tasting at Doolans...

with our families and Crystal. Personally, I enjoyed the bacon wrapped scallops the most. Everything was really good with the exception of this weird mashed potato martini thing that Tara got, but we weren't planning to have that at the wedding anyway.

Making invitations w/Alex & Rich

Alex was nice enough to say he would both help design and silk screen our invitations and rsvp cards. Rad Rich Samis also came through with helping us both make the screens and also donating some white paint for the cause.

A message to the students.


We had this set up assembly line style. Tara would hand Alex the paper. Alex would print the image. I would take the paper and put it on the racks to dry.
