Activity for Jillian

It didn't. I guess I drank the water too because I got a BFP when I tested on Monday, 8/29! Just wanted to share DH and I are SUPER excited and nervous all at the same time. I'm currently 5w5d along and all my blood work looks good. I'm going in for...

My RSVP deadline was on the 8th and I'm still awaiting three responses (not bad). They're all my FH's work friends and they're coming, but I'm just waiting for the actual RSVP to arrive for their entree selections. My question is what did you find...

My hairstylist, who is also a friend, will be coming to the hotel & doing my hair for the wedding. She's told me that it will be my "gift" and she won't be charging me. Her and her FH are also invited to our wedding, so am I supposed to give her a...

We're having the ceremony & reception at the same location and all make-up/hair will be done at the hotel as well (so no salon travel time needs to be factored in). Here's what the photographer gave me as a tentative schedule: 12:30 You touching up...

I reached out to my photographer to see what her suggestion would be for a "day of" time line. For some reason, I feel like everyone will be rushed or there won't be enough time for us to take pictures as a couple outside the hotel. Our wedding...

The company I worked for was just acquired by a new company on 6/13. We signed up for all of our medical, dental, 401K, etc. benefits and I come to find out that they have a wedding benefit! I submitted the paper work and they just gave me a check...

Hi Ladies! FH & I will be TTC after the wedding, although, if I got pregnant now - we'd be super happy.I came off BC about 1&1/2 months ago to get my body back to normal and I've never been pregnant before as I've been on the BC for almost 10...

My venue is allowing us (by some grace of God) to bring in chocolate/candy and nuts to put on all of our tables during the reception. Right now, I'm expecting to have about 15 +/- total tables that will seat 10 people. Do you have any ideas of what I...

Our plans of having our rehearsal dinner at my great aunt & uncle's restaurant are a no go now. I should've known this would happen because my mom likes to exaggerate a bit. She said it was all set, good to go, she'd be hosting, etc. Now, come to...

I have my first dress fitting scheduled for tomorrow and my MOH and two BMs will be joining me. I'm a bit nervous because I got the dress in early March and I was about five pounds lighter than I am at this moment (regardless of the fact that I've...

I just noticed by way of sending an e-mail from work that I spelled "accommodations" incorrectly on my enclosure card! Thank GOD for spell check. The bad part is that I've already received my enclosure cards and they are inside the envelopes as we...

I thought we were done with our guest list. I've gone over it with FH, created Excel spreadsheets, address labels, put all the information on WW, etc. I decided to begin addressing and stuffing envelopes last night and FH comes over and goes through...

I'm having the hardest time finding a reasonably priced MUA to do mine and my three BMs makeup in the Chicagoland area. Any recommendations from you ladies would be fantastic! My original MUA fell through and it's been a brutal search since that...

My MUA finally e-mailed me back yesterday and apologized for the delay in response. My instincts were right on - she will NOT be available to do my make-up on our wedding day. The excuse was that the only time she gets vacation is the last two weeks...
