Want to help???

If you live in/near Buffalo, or will be driving to the wedding and have some extra room in your car, we could use your help! We are collecting
glass bottles, like these...

If you happen to have or come across any of the old aqua blue mason jars (any size), we definitely want those, as they are apparently hard to find and quite sought after!

Any other blue (any shade), light green, or clear bottles that you come across that seem fun, we would love to have them! Especially any Coke bottles :) Also, if anyone happens to drink these Starbucks or Archer Farms (from Target) Frappacinos, we will take your empty bottles as well!


If you come across anything or start up a collection, please let us know so we can get an idea of how many bottles we will actually have (it is impossible for us to have too many - trust me!). Please DO NOT feel that you must go out and BUY bottles for us! Or buy random drinks that you do not enjoy simply to get the bottles! However, if you happen to have any bottles lying around, or actually enjoy drinking items from fun bottles, please save them for us! So far we already have bottles coming from Wisconsin and Ohio! So keep an eye out, go through your recycle bins, look in your basement/garage/attic - you never know what you might find! Thanks!!!

Save The Dates are in the mail!

The Save The Dates were somewhat of a process - we went to the beach 3 different times to get the photo, which Natalie then photoshopped and that was supposed to be it... but I became obsessed with do-it-yourself blogs and decided just a photo wasn't good enough - so since I had some time to kill while camping out for 24 hours in a Chick-fil-A parking lot (if this surprises you, you clearly don't know me very well), I added a back to the photos, with some help from my random friend Ruth, who I met at said parking lot! Then I just had to stamp and addresses them all - to his credit, Rob licked quite a few of the envelopes! Anyhow, if you are reading this blog, then that most likely means you received your Save The Date, so hooray!

Ruth and I working on the save the dates... in the Chick-fil-A parking lot... using a shopping cart as a craft table... yes, we are that classy!
