Little Details- OOT Boxes

Happy Wednesday!! I just got the best email ever from our lovely photographer Anna- pictures will be done at the end of this week or beginning of next! Yay!!! In the meantime I am still giving you updates about our details and then will show you our rehearsal dinner and getting ready!

The week of the wedding flew by and I mean it really flew- thank goodness for all the help we received on all of the little details!

These welcome boxes almost didn't make it...However this was something I wanted from the very get go and because the vast majority of our guests were from out of town I wanted to welcome them with a little something.

We took a picture of us and Daisy with blank signs which we later added Welcome to Omaha on. My plan was to take a picture my these two trains that say Welcome Omaha on them but for some reason they were closed the day we took the picture- Bummer. So we went to the old College World Series Stadium because everyone coming to Omaha knew about the series and the brand new stadium so we showed them the old one in the photo!

Here we are with our blank signs and Daisy who sat and "posed" for the picture!

Inside the boxes were Hershey Oreo Truffles, Cookies, Muffins- all homemade by me and my two bridesmaids- Jenny and Jeka (thanks ladies!)

We also filled them with Omaha catalogs picked up by my family as they traveled from Sterling to Omaha!

The final touch and another of my favorite details were the water bottles- again thanks to Jenny and Jeka for assembling!

 

My parents helped me stuff all the boxes the night before the rehearsal dinner and they took them to the hotel to greet the guests!! 

Here are the rest of the water bottle designs:

Happy Wedding Wednesday!

Water Bottle Labels!!

Happy Monday and hope you had an excellent weekend!! This weekend I found this adorable template for water bottle labels and think I will use it as a part of my OOT bags!

Way cute huh!? She made them using PowerPoint! Visit the Ruffled blog to find this cute little project. It can be used for anything not just weddings. So I downloaded and played with them for a while and here are some I created in only about five minutes! Awesome and quick DIY labels.

                The cross in the middle is a medical cross because I will be a nurse and he a doctor!!

In case you couldn't see the label close enough- just too adorable!

Have a great start to your week!!

Welcome Bags!

Many of our guests are traveling from Colorado to attend our wedding, some of them have never been to Omaha and close to none of them have been on the Creighton Campus. We are looking forward to showing them where we live and what we have been up to for the past 5 years of our lives! In a way it is like a mini destination wedding and we really want to make them feel like they are on a weekend getaway to enjoy themselves. To help them do that we want to design Omaha welcome bags which will either be in their hotel room or handed to them when they check into the hotel. I am hoping to fill it with some coupons, snacks, waters, and I would love to get some tickets for the College World Series and put them in the bags. I am also going to fill it with unique things from Omaha and Creighton. Here are a few little ideas...

Simple & Cute!

Love the pails!

Pretty close to what we would want to fill ours with.

Favorite bag- isn't it adorable?

If you have any ideas or anything unique to Omaha that I could add I would love to hear them!!

Have a great Thursday Night!
