1 month!
Oh. my. gosh.
One month.
1.
According to theknot.com we have 83 things left to do, 18 of which are overdue. There's a reason I haven't used The Knot's checklist.
Where can I buy:
-A chalkboard (like, 18" x 24" or something like that)
-A scrapbook with black pages
-Card stock in one color, for not a lot of money. I'm looking for that deep purple/eggplant color
We are at a good point-- the projects we have left feel manageable, as long as we keep ourselves on schedule and enlist a little help. We've ditched any projects that are just going to be too much (we were kicking around some video/slideshow ideas and various complicated favor ideas-- figuring out what's reasonable and what's just not going to happen was a good step).
Wanna help?
Either Labor Day weekend (if people are around) or the weekend after (if no one's around the weekend before) we'll be having a 'wedding project assembly party' for anyone who's interested in lending a hand. A lot of people have offered to help, but geographic logistics and life events have made it hard to take them up on it-- this is your chance to be a part of the magic! We'll provide food and beverage and eternal/undying gratitude.
And, dear sweet wedding guests, please don't forget to pop that RSVP in the mail, aight? Merci!

You should be able to find all of that stuff at Target or Walmart I would think.
If you can't find a chalkboard, you could always use a piece of wood and paint it with chalkboard paint (ha! look at me being all crafty!) :-)
For the scrapbook, I couldn't find one with black pages, so this is what I did:
I bought a nice 12x12 Portfolio brand scrapbook, not too outrageously priced. Then I took out the white pages it comes with and just replaced them with 12x12 black scrabooking paper. We're using it for a photo guestbook, so I bought photo corners and stuck them on where a photo would go and X'ed out the middle so that people didn't write in that spot. Then I figure I'll leave the pages out on the table for people to sign and then when the photos are developed, I'll slide them in the corners and slide the pages into the clear plastic protector thingies.
Sorry for the novel, I'm not even sure what you're using a scrapbook for, but hope I could help..
Paper.com has a great assortment of colors, sizes, and types of paper. its also pretty cheap. check it out!
In case you still need it, I bought dark purple cardstock at Michael's for $0.59 per sheet. It is a heavy weight, really dark color called "Plum Tree."
Thanks for all the tips!
I actually did find some lovely plum card stock at Michael's-- as the color gets more popular it's getting easier to find out there!
We also found a chalkboard at Staples for $10! I have been hunting for this for so long, and never thought to look there-- we were looking at bookshelves when I stumbled upon the perfect chalkboard. Fate!
Hi, I was going to suggest Michaels but it looks like you found the card stock already- great! Also, I saw your comment that the DIY coloring book link isn't working (that I posted about) if you want the file for the one that I slightly edited I can send it to you tonight... just email me! It takes a whole 30 minutes to make...
Good luck with finishing everything up! :)
