Alterations and RSVPs! (plus dog pics in comments ;)

RustyTheDog, on November 16, 2017 at 6:47 PM Posted in Planning 0 43

After 4 alterations appointments (did yall go through this many too?) My dress is FINALLY how I want it! Basically had to remake the sleeves, add cups, let out the hips, take in the waist and thighs, add a bustle, take up the shoulder seem, sooo yeah took a while (oddly it didn't need a hem because I ordered it to my height).

Also, all RSVPs are back and seating chart done! Total 77 guests out of 116 invites (I think the high decline rate is because only 12 people are in town, it's the week before Christmas, and we gave EVERYONE- even single great aunts- plus ones so we had a lot of people choose not bring plus ones or spouses or SOs)! Yay!!! Slightly larger wedding than I wanted, but I think it will work out well!

    @Melissa- I went to Alterations by Frances in Newport, KY. She does very good work, although I will say she can sometimes run a few minutes late for appointments. She took anything I want changed though and worked on it - if I didn't like a wrinkle or how something felt she fixed it. So I'd definitely recommend, but do make sure you have spare time budgeted that you aren't rushing to go somewhere after an appointment in case she is running late.

    @Dreamer- I wish! But he has very bad arthritis and a leg that was broken and healed poorly before we got him (he was stray), so he doesn't walk well (he can walk, he just doesn't walk far and doesn't like to walk on command- like for a wedding haha). And he's a little too attached to us so he would whine during the ceremony if he couldn't be right next to us and have us pet him Smiley smile

    I read a story online - it might have been etiquettehell.com?, where their dog was in the bridal party, and nature called, in the middle of the aisle. The odor cleared-out the church very quickly. LOL!

    Will you and FH get any pics with Rusty before the ceremony? He'd be so cute in a bow tie.
