Spending $$$: The Easiest and Scariest Part of Planning a Wedding!

If you know me, you know I like to spend money. I should rephrase by saying I like to spend it on things I like and don't exactly need (which I know is true for a lot of us). Just an hour ago, I spent a pretty penny to have my brakes fixed. Fun? No. Needed? Yes.

Here are some fun things WE (mom, too) have purchased lately:

 I just COULDN'T live without this birdcage for the guest book table. Hopefully I can find some use for it in our new home (we may be living out of our car) once we're married. 

But, really, isn't it cute?

Also, I'm fairly certain that we bought out the collection of square glass votives. Sorry to any one who needed some from Garden Ridge. Any takers once the wedding is over? Unlike the birdcage, I don't think I can make use of 60 votives, especially if we're living out of a car. 

Doesn't look like 60. You should have pushed the cart.

Now, here's what is perhaps my favorite find so far. No judgment please. Cody and I want to do some picnic-themed pics, minus the picnic, during our engagement shoot, so we (I) set out to look for quilts. Quilts aren't cheap. I found this one at Savers for $4.99! It's definitely bold, but I think it will turn out great in photos. 

 To our first child: get ready! This will have to be on your bed until you outgrow twin-size. In other words, it's going with you to and through college!

There's more, but just writing this post about spending money has become stressful. I'll post more later after some bills have been paid!

With wedding bells and bills~
