35Inspired once again by JK8115 (soulsistah4evah!) I know there are a few of you on the boards that have this so feel free to share, otherwise this will just be my embarrassing little thread :p
Finally went to NYC and got the fabric for my dress on Saturday - a very soft, lightweight silk-cotton blend that seems to fall in the diamond white and not ivory or white category. Also found lace...
Here we are 4 days from the deadline and i have less than half of my rsvps returned. I am a little bummed about this but not entirely shocked (thank you WW for helping me manage my expectations) i...
Invites are out, RSVP's are coming back. It's a mixed bag and it's slowed to a trickle but whatever right. So my dad and I are talking this morning and he's like "...wait. Did I invite Mr. and Mrs....
Just booked the limo-bus for my bridal shower. Originally a friend and my mom were trying to organize something but... it started going south. My friend - I adore her - is kind of scattered. More than...
I'm missing belly bands (will be here by the end of the week) and stamps (picking up tomorrow). Tonight I'm going to work on hand lettering the inner envelopes - my smart idea to run them through the...
I don’t know what it is about BBQs that seems to be so bloody difficult, but good gracious I am ready to scream. At this point, I’ve sent my dad and FH on a wild goose chase (pig chase?) to a caterer...
Alright ladies - I'm a larger gal, roughly 43 - 41 - 45 (or... I look like a tube according to those numbers) and while we're working on the dress I need to find some ahem garments. Where did you have...
Okay. So we got the mockup cut out. This is the pattern we're starting with. We are adding length and making the sleeves tulle/lace, possibly a butterfly sleeve. My concern is that while I LOVE this...
Okay so i'm mostly happy with the way these are starting to look. the blue on blue inner invite bothers me a bit though and i'm debating either doing a belly band on the invite or getting a wax seal...
Monthly check in! How YOU doin'?! (done in the worst possible joey voice) After taking a long break and falling way behind what I thought was my very reasonable albeit early to-do list, I finally...
Time to get serious about all this planning i guess. Wedding is a DW in 189 days - so July 3. At home reception is the following month. the end of the room rate discount at the resort is March 31st....
We're at 200 days today and between the holidays and the wedding I'm feeling very extreme - either IDGAF or ZOMGPANIC. Not an awesome sea-saw, lemme tell ya. The other night at the work holiday party,...
Okay. So a while ago, I posted about my friend and mom doing my bridal shower. You may note I have a ton of time before the wedding so this is not a pressing issue. Anyway. The friend who was going to...
So go ahead, share. I know I'm not the only bride on here that is having horrible dreams. From last night: I forgot to put on my pearls (the one request from Jeff which I'm happy to oblige), my dad...
Out of curiosity, married people, what did you do or say to the people who RSVP'd and didn't show - and I mean the ones without a good reason like birth, death, illness. Or the folks who had surprise...
Another friend posted a link on facebook to the loverly photographer post about unplugging during ceremonies and weddings, chock full of pictures that were basically ruined because guests got all...
So ladies and gents, why is it okay to link to your registry on your wedding website, but not okay to list it in your invitation? (I'm curious. I'm not putting it in my invitation, but neither do I...
I'm in my second week with weight watchers and of course my cycle started (SIGH) but generally I'm being really good with my points and monitoring my food. So boss walks in with pumpkin cookies from...
FFIL and the FH talk on Saturday - he got the tickets for FH's brother (also best man) and niece as well as FH's mom (dad and mom divorced decades ago). Really nice of him right? Come to find out, he...
