Boroski Wedding

It's Bachelor Party Time

noreply@blogger.com (Katherine) — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 18:29:00 +0000

Three weeks and counting! Bryan's in Tahoe this weekend with 17 of his friends for the bachelor party. The ladies will be joining me for a spa day next weekend.

Everything's coming together. The nerves haven't hit yet, at least during my waking hours. But the wedding-related nightmares have started!

We still have a few rsvp stragglers that we're trying to track down. If you're one of them, get your butt over to the rsvp page. It only takes 10 seconds!

4 weeks to go!

noreply@blogger.com (Katherine) — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 19:00:00 +0000

We can't believe the wedding is four weeks from today! Seems like just yesterday that we got engaged. All of the big stuff has been taken care of...just a lot of little details we need to work out.

Bryan and crew are heading to Tahoe next week for the 4-day bachelor party extravaganza. The weekend after that, the ladies and I will be enjoying a day of pampering at a local spa. (That's my idea of a bachelorette party!)

I'm off to go get my hair done... the "trial run" for my wedding do! See you all very soon.

The RSVPs are Rolling In

noreply@blogger.com (Katherine) — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 18:04:00 +0000

First, thanks to everyone for all the kind words about my invitations. I put a lot of work into designing those, so I'm glad everyone likes them!! I've started designing invitations and greeting cards for BKB Design Group clients, too. So, if you know anyone who might be interested...send them my way.

Second, so far so good on the RSVPs. 57 accepts, and only 7 regrets. If it plays out as expected, we'll have about 130 people in attendance. Don't forget you can RSVP online. Just takes a few seconds. Don't forget to include your FULL name and the FULL name of your date. We need that for the placecards. Even if you THINK we know, I want confirmation that we've got your names spelled correctly.

Any questions? Just email us: wedding @ boroski.com (take out the spaces obviously... just doing that to avoid the spammers.

Invitations Are in the Mail!!

noreply@blogger.com (Katherine) — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 05:03:00 +0000

The invitations are in the mail everyone. Keep an eye out for them. And yes, I designed them, in case you were wondering.

We included traditional rsvp cards in with the invites, but for all you tech savvy friends and family out there, we also have an online rsvp form.

I can't believe the wedding's less than two months away.

See you soon!!!

We Have Selected our Officiant

noreply@blogger.com (Katherine) — Sat, 10 Nov 2007 20:38:00 +0000

A big thank you to Mitch Darnell of Forever Inspired for agreeing to do our wedding in exchange for logo design. The logo's not finished yet, but we're close. I'll post it soon so you can take a look.

As you probably know, we're doing trades for many of our wedding vendors. We're doing their graphic design, they're doing our wedding. We've got our photographer, videographer, accessories designer, officiant, and cake nailed down so far. Still looking for a DJ, so if you know any DJs who might be interested in web design-for-DJ trade, send them our way.

More information on our vendors is available here.

Help Me Choose a Color

noreply@blogger.com (Katherine) — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 17:43:00 +0000

Ok folks, I'm stuck. I cannot choose between two colors for my bridesmaids. I've had it in my head all along that I would use a shade of green (hence, the color scheme of this website). But then I saw this gorgeous dark blue color (called "serene"). I just can't decide.

What do you think?? What color bridesmaid dresses should I choose?

Dark Blue
Vibrant Green

I bought my dress!

noreply@blogger.com (Katherine) — Tue, 09 Oct 2007 19:11:00 +0000

After three trips to the bridal salons, I finally made my selection. If any of the ladies want a sneak peak, email me and I'll send you a picture.

Check Out Our Vendors

noreply@blogger.com (Katherine) — Sat, 29 Sep 2007 03:37:00 +0000

A few months ago, we posted on craigslist hoping to find some talented local wedding vendors interested in trading their services for ours (web design, of course). We were pleasantly surprised by the volume and quality of the responses we received. We now have our videographer and photographer lined up, and we are in talks with a few DJs.

Check out the vendors page to read more about it.

The Photo Gallery Is Live

noreply@blogger.com (Katherine) — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 17:13:00 +0000

The photo gallery is now up and running. If any of you have more photos of Bryan and I, please send them my way so I can add them.

And for any of you grammar police out there, yes, I know I'm missing a number of apostrophe's in the photo descriptions. But the darn javascript breaks if I use an apostrophe, so you'll have to deal with me being grammatically incorrect for once. Enjoy it. Won't happen again.

Welcome to our blog!
