Anniversary Party Prep

Our family is planning to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Daddy and Mother in Missouri this late October.  We have plans to have a meal and ceremony (renewal of vows and some other activities).  We have retrieved some of the original decorations from different places in our house and will probably take some of them to display at the anniversary party.  

Mother is making herself a dress  and vest of the teal colored fabrics that were used in their wedding.  I will probably wear one of the bridesmaids dresses for the celebration, since it's the right size.

Below is pictured (in a more artistic manner) a single teal rose, surrounded by orange flowers and lace, all of which are around the base of the original unity candle.

These are the decorations we dug under our stairs storage area to find: Mother's bouquet, a heart that was displayed behind the cake at their reception, and leftover rice roses (for flinging rice at the bride and groom---not recommended for future generations-due to the mess) which Dad's nieces passed out at the wedding.  They don't have rice in them anymore, fortunately.

We got the invitations printed this afternoon, and have been working on addressing, stamping, and mailing them.

We bought these cool little stamps today, which I hadn't seen before, because of the nice hearts on them.
