Our wedding is going to be super small. We're not having a bridal party of any kind, and we're inviting about 35 or so people to dinner after the ceremony. No reception with a DJ or anything like that.

Our biggest problem was getting it across to my family that there wasn't going to be a maid of honor, best man, flower girls or anything like that. Our other problem has been getting DF's mom to understand that we aren't inviting everyone under the sun. I'm not even inviting any aunts, uncles or cousins from my side.

Our planning has gone really well, though. We had a pretty good idea of what we wanted, and within two weeks of our engagement we had our dinner venue, church, and florist booked and my dress had already been ordered.

Just this week our favors (which are SO cute) and invitations arrived. Today I'm supposed to go shopping with my mom, SIL, and niece for dresses for them to wear. Even though there is no bridal party, SIL wants the children to be color-coordinated with our wedding colors.

I am anxiously awaiting my dress (see below)...I am hoping it comes in soon!

What a beautiful dress! I love the simple elegance of it. Nice to hear I'm not the only one trying to keep it small and intimate.
