The DJ has been booked, Johnny is getting excited, the Wedding rehearsal planned, the food has been order and everything is starting to fall into line. The two of us have been extremely busy behind the scenes getting everything in order for the big day and we think everyone is going to really enjoy what we’ve got planned.

Over the next month, we’ll post any important updates on our blog here, so please do check back.

But let’s kick the countdown off right with the most fitting of song’s. That’s right kids Europe’s The Final Countdown … do-da-do-doo, do-da-da

Second, we just want to make a quick note to point out that the Song Request form is up and running on the web site. We’ve booked our DJ for the evening and we will be sending him some of the song requests we receive from you guys shortly. Sean, our DJ, has an eclectic variety of tunes for the evening. The fact he knows who Girl Talk is warms the little music nerd in the deeps of my heart.

For those interested, so far we’ve locked down two requests; with a classic band from the early 80s and a diva from American Idol locked in. So if you want to hear a different song, please hit up the song request form here.

Things are moving into high gear at our house as we inch close to the big day. We’ve got the decor in line, a DJ lined-up and things are looking great.

We’ve had a couple of people inquire about the discounted roommate at the Palliser for our wedding. As mentioned in the invitations it is a great deal and with the cold weather and potential bad driving conditions, we really hope people take advantage of this offer. But we realized that we didn’t mention the actual Palliser code in our invitations.

So we have now updated the Details page to reflect the roomrate. When booking the room, please refer to the code CURR12009 or ask for the CURRIE wedding.  If you do run into any issues regarding booking a room, please contact us, as we’ll gladly talk to the Palliser to work things out.

Now that most of the invites have been delivered (or should be arriving shortly), we thought we’d give you a bit of an explanation as to how we made them.

In case you are wondering, these baby’s are hand-crafted by Caitlin and myself.

I know, kinda crazy. Let’s just say we’re crafty.

The basis of the cards comes from a template card set that we found at the most unlikely of places … which we are keeping a secret. The packages came with an easy to use Word/Adobe template that we used to compile the text for each invite. Which might seem wonderful until you get into the business of customizing each invite with a individual access codes for the RSVP site.

The ornate decorative accents on the invitations are courtesy of some scrap-booking stamps and a whole lot of purple ink, patience, and Caitlin’s steady hand.

If you’ve seen the web site (which you’re looking at right now) you’ll know that we’re going with a dark purple, black, white and  grey color scheme for the wedding and we wanted our invitations to reflect this combination as best as we could. We also added a unique floral elements to invitations, which were courtesy of our local neighborhood scrap-booking store. We decided to add these flowers to really enhance the ornate nature of our invites and give them a bit of a special feel. Truth be told, Caitlin just thought they were cute and wanted to put them on stuff – I said no to covering the fridge in them, so they went on the invites instead.

So that’s the gist of how the Invitations were created. It took a couple evenings of drinks, printing, stamping and patience. And there may have been an incident where someone stuck their forearm in the purple ink, but we won’t talk about that. But overall we are more than proud of the outcome.

We’d also like to thank Ryan Boley for his help with developing the WP-Plug-in that handles all of our RSVP needs. It’s a fantastic little app that allows us to track all of the responses online and in real time. So a big thanks goes out to him.

Yes, this wedding web site is what happens when two creative minds get married. (It also helps when one of the minds is an uber-web nerd)

We will be using this running blog for a variety things leading up to the wedding. We will be writing blog posts about events and how we made some of our little surprises. We’ll also be using this site to post photos from our e-session with our good friend Johnny Tran at JT Images, and the (suitable) photos from our Bachelorette/Stags.

In addition, this web site will be the location for:

• RSVP’ing and confirming your attendance.
• Details on room rates, changes in schedule (should there be any) and other particulars relating to our big day.
• Our special What She Said/He Said section.
• We will also have links for gift registry ideas, if you chose to bring a gift.
• We have created a Song Request Form for those wishing to hear a particular track at the dance.
• Our Wedding Slide Show.

We hope you have as much fun with this web site as we have had building it. We hope you find it useful and entertaining.

Please grab the RSS Feed and check back often as we will be updating constantly.

Salutations,

The Future Turners.

Mystery Envelopes

We know it probably caused a few odd little situations. It’s not everyday that these small little envelopes land in your mailbox. Not only did it cause you pause, but we’re sure your mailman no longer looks at you the same! So from a purely selfish stand point, we wanted to use this opportunity to not only illicit a “pardon me” from our friends and family, but we also got a chance to stir the neighbourhood you live in and encourage wild rumors of what could possibly be going on in your home – like really, who gets mail like that?!

If you didn’t recieve this little gem in the mail – sorry, it was totally Connor’s fault! We would be more than happy to send you one so that your mailman can think twice about your house. Just let us know and we’ll mail one out as soon as possible.
