60 Days to GO!!!! May brides where are you?!

Mama Bear, on March 17, 2014 at 1:56 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 37

Exactly 60 days from today I will be saying "I DO" to my soulmate!!!! I had my first dress fitting last Saturday and fell in love with my dress all over again! Can't wait for the alterations to be complete - corset back, sleeves and the bustle - April 11th is my final fitting. Been receiving RSVP's in the mail and had my first RSVP where they actually changed the number on the line where it states how many seats we are reserving for you.....thought that was pretty hilarious! Never thought that would happen to me. We only have a couple of DIY projects left to do, but they are pretty easy breezy. I have my first bridal hair trial appointment this Weds. The wedding really is going to be here before I know it! So excited!

How are you all doing????

    My 60 days was yesterday!!! So excited!! I go for my alterations on April 5th, just mailed out my invitations this morning, and I have a few more DIY projects to do. My girls all have their dresses and the guys are slowly getting their tuxes fitted. My "surprise" bridal shower is coming up - I'm not supposed to know but FH can't keep his big mouth shut for the life of him, lol- and all that's left now is to pay all the vendors and book our hotel room. I can't believe that it's almost here!!

    I am at 54 days and still can't believe it. My dress is completely done and back home with me (lol I didn't like it being away). The main thing I am working on is my centerpieces. They were the very first wedding project I did and now less than two months away I decided I wanted to change them. I had my first hair trial on Saturday and loved it.

    Hey Ladies, May of 15 here. When did you send out your invitations? I feel like sending them out in Jan will be too late, but sending them out any earlier people will forget with the holidays...

    May 3 here! Everything is coming together! I just paid off my venue and half of our catering, we purchased FH's band, and we're purchasing mine this week (I have it picked out, just spreading the money out a bit). I got a ton of DIYs started and finished this weekend.

    I can't believe it is so close now. I can't wait Smiley smile

    @FutureMrsWhitaker - I sent mine out end of February (24th) with an April 5th RSVP deadline

    @FutureMrsWhitaker Most of the time you send them out 2-3 months before the wedding. My entire family lives in another state so I sent those in January. If they don't have a long distance to travel I wouldn't send them before February.

    @ Mrs. Whitaker - I sent my invitations out at the end of February. We sent out Save the Date cards back in September so our guests had plenty of time to reserve that date if they wanted to come to our wedding.

    @Mrs. Whitaker- I sent my invites this past Friday, 10 weeks before the wedding. We have a lot of OOT guests, but we sent save the dates about 8 months out. I wouldn't send your invitations as early as January. Maybe wait until the first of February at the earliest.

    May 25 here. I just ordered my bridal slip. Got my timeline from the photographer. John and I have decided to open the RSVPs together, but we can only do it on weekends so it's going to be torture to wait until then!

    May 30th here!! today we finished putting the invites together, tomorrow they go out with a RSVP date of April 30th. First dress alteration is on April 11th. All vendors are paid about 80% or in full. Things are coming together these days need to go by a little quicker Smiley smile good luck to all

    May 16th here!! The only really big thing we have left to do is GET THE TUXS!!! we are supposed to be getting for free/really cheap but my FH is slacking!! I gave him until the end of the month and if it is not set up I am making an appointment and the guys will have to pay for them!! We also have to put favors together and get the day of timeline down. And pay everything! Photographer is paid for in full, which I love!!

    May 16th here - UMMMMMM let's see we still need to get rings, figure out what FH and our boys will be wearing, my dress finally came in, EARLY thank goodness, I have to pick it up and hopefully I will not need any alterations. My daughter's dresses are not due in until the middle of May but DB assured me they would be in sooner. RSVP's are coming in slowly thankfully we have a small guest list,

    My sisters have been great helping with ordering the centerpiece stuff and getting me to keep my sanity, I need to buy ribbon for the girls bouquets then make them, I also need to figure out what to do about my bouquet............ my table runners are in...... and I AM IN FULL PANIC MODE, Crying and anxiety EVERY WAKING MOMENT!!!!!!!! That is what you get for trying to plan a wedding in 90 days

    May 17 here!freaking out. Feels like so much more to doooooo. Much more to pay off. FH has his best man left to go get fitted and buy accessories. Picking up my dress wednesday and finding some time to meet with the church coordinator. I still have to figure out what to do about table presence since I think it doesn't look rustic at all. Urrrrrg. Lots of people still left to rsvp, I really think I'll be tracking folks down april 1.

    I am pretty much going into slight panic mode right about now, lol.. These details are really killing me. I am glad I didn't have to worry about a lot of decor or else I would seriously be in trouble! I can't wait for the big day so I can have my life back and leave this wedding planning alone.
