I am so looking forward to this upcoming weekend (yes, it is only Monday!). My "entertainment" themed wedding shower is Saturday night (hosted by 3 of my momma's friends), and during the day Saturday we're taking engagement pictures with one of our friends! She is building her photography-portfolio and needs to take shots of couples- so we happily agreed to help her out ;) And the weather seems to be cooperating! 60s & 70s by the end of the week, yeehaw! And Sunday is going to be a whirlwind trip of wedding to-do's in C'ville... but that's for a future post :)
But let me get back on topic! The topic of fancy plates (aka China!). Adam and I went back & forth on whether or not we wanted to register for china. My mom breaks out her china for big dinners (parties, birthdays, holidays), and I love hers (gold rimmed with fruit on it). Adam's parents have a few sets of china, so they were on-board with us registering for it, too! So off we went to Bloomingdale's (who has one of the best registry systems, if you ask me)...and there we spent the next three hours....
Yep. Talk about indecisive. The first pattern we chose is so hideous I'm not even going to describe it. I'm not even sure how we talked ourselves into it?! Gag. We were totally lost! Luckily my mom was able to meet us up at the store and gently guided us to some patterns that weren't so hard on the eyes. We ended up combining 2 patterns - one is blue & white and the other is gold & white. I think they will be super versatile, and both of our moms signed off on the patterns :)
One tradition I've heard about recently is doing china Sundays. I think it would be so fun to have an immediate excuse to use our nice dishes! Not sure we'll do this every week, but perhaps once a month is a good goal? :)
Oh! And some of the RSVPs are coming in!! So fun to get them and see the sweet/funny/loving things people have written on them.
