Re: March/April Brides

All of my big things are done, with the exception of my corset. Yes, that is a big thing, 1) because my chest is large, 2) because it has become a quest.

I'm chipping away at the little things one at a time. In the end, it is the little things that are going to make me crazy.

Re: March/April Brides

Oh, the little things. Those suckers will get me in the end.

I am selecting invites too - just have to finalize the wording. It's funny - FH and I were so decisive and easy going on the big stuff - but with the invites I could not pick a thing. FH and my Mom got me to narrow it down - thank heaven for them!

Next big thing is - order favors! I know what we're doing - I just have to order them. We'll get there . . .

Re: March/April Brides

I have been kinda staying away from hard core wedding planning lately. I spent alot of money, and I am working on paying it off. As for invites, well we aren't ordering. We bought ones from michaels crafts and we are printing on them. I am worried though because FH is so busy, but he wants to be involved. I don't know how we are going to do all this.

Re: March/April Brides

My dress, bridesmaids, and my invites just came in last week!

Need to:

1) rehersal dinner -find a place!

2) wedding bands

3) tuxes

4) bridal party gifts

5) my shoes

I think I 'm in good shape

Re: March/April Brides

I did all the big stuff. I really need to concentrate on the honeymoon. It is very difficult. I just ordered my invitations last week. They took like 2 days to come in. Favors are ordered. I need to get wedding bands, tuxedos, all the little stuff. I havent been doing alot lately.
