And they're off!

Invitations were mailed out this morning to destinations as close as five blocks away to as far as the U.K.! 

We hope you like them. Joe put lots of time into designing and printing the invites, and he ordered all the supplies we needed to put them together. 

We would appreciate it if RSVPs were returned by July 15, 2014. 

Also, welcome to our wedding website, as this is very likely your first time to see it. :) We'll be updating the pages as we nail down the final details, so please refer back to this site as The Big Day nears. 

Love, 

Alyssa

P.S. Bonus picture! Astro was really interested in watching Joe cut out the invitations with the razor.

a taste of Seattle

I love this short film, by F-Stop Seattle, of various spots around the city.

The city's really beautiful, and, no matter where life takes Joe and me, Seattle will always have a spot in my heart. I can't wait for you all to visit!

100 days until the wedding!

Yes, really. 100 days!

Six months until the wedding!

As of today, there are six months left until our wedding day! We still have a lot of planning to do, but there are already a few details in place that will make the day memorable.

latest update: helping guests find a place to stay

For our out-of-town guests, I'd like to note that I just updated the Visit Seattle page of this blog.

Most importantly, the "Lodging" section now includes a link a guide to hotels and bed & breakfasts that are nearby our wedding and reception venues. This guide was put together by my lovely Maid of Honor and includes a range of prices, convenience, and coziness. 

I also suggest looking at VRBO.com and airbnb.com for reserving short-term stays in apartments, houses, and rooms to those interested in an alternative to hotels.

The Countdown Begins

In less than a year, Joe and I will getting married! This blog will serve as a space for our guests to learn about wedding details and to find tips for traveling and staying in Seattle. Visit regularly for updates.
