Cake Topper

Ok - so the wedding is in such a short time so I'm trying to do EVERYTHING at pretty much the last minute.  I was a bit nervous to start things early just in case we had problems with the visa or something.  I didn't want to have everything set up and then have to cancel or postpone it - so I just had a bunch of ideas saved on the computer, ready to implement the minute Ivan got here.  However, once Ivan got here I realized my time was limited and I never really got to the implementatin stage.  So, now I'm a bit rushed and trying to do everything at once.  Oh well - what's life without a little excitement and procrastination, right!! 

So, as I sit here, packing for ANOTHER trip to Oregon, I am also trying to get invitations done (since we finally confirmed the location of the ceremony and the time) and order things for the wedding.  I officially ordered our custom cake topper!  I am really excited about this.  My co-worker had a great custom cake topper and I thought it would be fun to have something other than a bird or two people (who usually are the same skin tone - which Ivan and are are not).  So, I ordered a cartoony-style custom cake topper of us from Sophia's Workshop on Etsy.  Here is an example:

This one is of a traditional Chinese wedding, which Ivan and I are not having, but I sent photos of us and some ideas for props that reflect our personality.  So, although ours will be very different from this one, you can get the idea of the custom possibilities.  I am really excited to see the sketch Sophia comes up with!!

I also ordered some fun things for my bridesmaids, but since they sometimes read this blog I can't divulge - but I'm SUPER excited about them!!!
