Activity for Mandi

Sent out our invites last Friday and already have RSVPs for 11 of the invites back! So far 21 people are coming to this thing!!! Yikes! Luckily, 3 of the kids will be staying at home... so only 42 more people need to RSVP no or with fewer people than...

I love my fiance. But I don't like it when he doesn't listen. Its annoying when he doesn't listen to me. But when he doesn't listen to himself? Oh. My. Gawd. Proper etiquette tells us that any guest over 18 should receive their own invitation to our...

I gotta say the rehearsal dinner has to be the biggest pain in the butt that I have exer experienced. I wanna have a rehearsal. I've seen what happens when people don't have proper rehearsals. And I'm trying to avoid that mess. My first idea for...

I keep thinking that I'm going to magically get like a ton of RSVP cards in the mail this coming week after mailing invitations this past Friday. 🤦‍♀️ Just thought you might all enjoy laughing at me too.

So I dropped my invites off at the post office this morning. And went to type in the date I sent them into my spreadsheet. (I really like spreadsheets.) My spreadsheet was color coded into 3 categories. Pink, blue, and yellow. Pink for bride guests,...

This week started off so strong. Bridal shower planned. My flowers, M&Ms, and wedding shoes arrived. I finished addressing all my invitations. Mailed invites to bridesmaids. Finally had my first fitting. Worked on figuring out my veil conundrum....

"They got a small venue. So they can only invite 250." An actual quote from my mother today. Feeling pretty relieved we didn't get the larger venue we tried to get originally.

Does my photographer ride on my party bus to photo locations? I dont care either way. Just curious if I need to save some room. Or if it's totally weird to asking she wants to.

Found out that my cousin's family probably won't be attending my wedding because they have first communion the next day 4 hours away. If I get her "cannot attend" before shower invites go out, should I still include her on the invite list for the...

They're all stuffed and addressed. We send out our bridesmaids tomorrow. [A trial run in anything never hurt anyone.] We've already had people confirming our date this week so they can book flights, so we decided it's time. 10 weeks this coming...

We had a weekend full of wedding stuff. And a date for the bridal shower has been set! [One year to the day after he proposed.] Last night we were reflecting on our engagement and the vacation we took 3 weeks before. And how when we got home from...

For some reason, I've always been under the impression that you have to get a blood test when you get married... is this a thing? Can I skip it if I'm in my early 30s and sterile? I'm not exactly terrified of needles, but if I can avoid bleeding, I...

I'm having some issues trying to figure out how to seat parents at the reception. 8 people to a table.2 married parents (mine)2 married parents (his)1 grandma (mine) probably won't be able to stay for reception1 grandma (his)2 married grandparents I...

Our registry has been out there for a while. And my family and his family used it for Christmas. But we just got a notification that something was bought! And because I'm super curious, I had to peek! Our first non family member purchase! I have a...

Today I was asked: "Are you gonna have people RSVP?" Well yes, I don't wanna pay for 250 people and have 10 show... "Ok, well you know we're gonna be there.""Cool, but mail that card back." I thought we were over this. But noooo.
