Ive been going onto a wedding site in my "spare time", as though I even really have spare time! But its been a lot of fun to get ideas and bring them together to produce my very own dream wedding! So while I was going through the cake section I came across these cakes, where in my opinion are GORGEOUS! Cam and I are doing a cake especially for the head table and family tables, then there will be cup cakes for the rest of our guests. Which brings me to my next wedding point... the guest list.
There are SO MANY PEOPLE that Cam and I love, adore and appreciate, so its pretty well THE HARDEST THING EVER to come up with a guest list. How do you say, "yes you can come!" to one friend but "sorry we can't afford to have you there" to another???????? Especially when so many of our friends are in relationships or married, its really hard, and really stressful. SO! What Cam and I have discussed and envisioned for our big day, is for our reception to be a very intimate environment, which means... small. Smaller than what we had originally planned for, which means, not everyone will be able to come. And I am sorry and I love all of my dearest friends, but I sure hope that those of you who are reading this and love us too... will understand. Financially if we want to make our day completely ours with the components we want to add, as well as keep the intimate feel we really are striving for, then less is more. Back to more wedding photo browsing!
Blessings :)

it's so hard to narrow it down, isn't it? we had 180 people coming but there could have easily been 250 i think! i felt so bad because there were so many friends that couldn't come... we just invited everybody to the wedding, and not everybody to the reception.
both those cakes look awesome! i love the lines on the left one, and the smoothness of the one with the flowers! woo hoo! cake!
Ugh, I remember the dreaded guest list. It's so hard to try and coordinate between what you guys want and what your parents AND his parents want...not to mention those people who come up and say "Congrats on the engagement! We are SO EXCITED to come to your wedding"...can you say awkward?!
Something that helped us -- we had sort of a "first round" and a "second round." We invited everyone in the first round and if some of them couldn't come, we invited people from the second round until we were full (about 135). I know it can be tacky if some people get their invitations later, but hey, at least they get invited!
Hope all the planning is going well! Just wait until you are done school and can focus on the wedding 100%, it will be so exciting!!
