I have a confession. I had a bridal meltdown, and it wasn't pretty...

So JT and I are stuffing our invitations tonight. We are totally behind in doing this. Well, today I realized that I did not have direction cards to the hall. I REALLY NEED these invitations to go out tomorrow because I have NO other time to get them out, so we went online and copied the directions the Bourne gives you online. So we went to OfficeMax and asked them to copy them onto nice cardstock. Fine, no problem. I've had them do this for other things, takes like 10 minutes. Well this old guy was so nasty, he was like, Yeah, come back for them tomorrow. I was like, WHAT?!?!?!?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?! And I went off on him I'm so not proud of this, but COME ON, you need an entire day for like 90 cards. Give me a break! So JT dragged me out of the store as I was practically flipping this guy off. I think the stress has officially hit me. PS, I have no direction cards and no time to go to the Bourne to get any I just wish someone else would do the rest of my planning for me....

breath! Believe me it'll all work out. Try not to stress out too much. If they go out a little late they go out a little late. I promise no one will notice, or at least care.

Ok. deep breath.


You could go back to the store, or go somewhere else and have them done and get them tomorrow.

Stuff everything else in your invitations tonight and then add the direction cards tomorrow & send them. Or, you could buy cardstock and print and cut them tonight.

You still have plenty of time to get the directions out, even if you don't do it tomorrow. Don't worry!

I hear you girl. I'm a day after you and I've been running around this entire week.

I haven't even begin to do any prep for my classes. My kids take the AP exam on Tuesday and my College Eco class I'm flying by the seat of my pants.

Could you got to Kinko's or Staples?

why don't you try another store - maybe Kinko's can do them for you faster - but really, don't stress - this is a happy time

It must be the two month mark! I am also getting married that weekend and just said to mi FI that I am finally feeling the stress everyone has been warning me about! He stuffed the invites while I was at the library doing research for the last paper of my masters! On my way home, I stopped at the Staples across from the Smithaven Mall and they were able to print my direction cards in 10 mins. I am not sure where you are, but maybe you can go there...

Good luck

Dont worry,... after stuffing and sealing and everything else... we were finally done w/ the last invitation... I licked it and then it hit me.......... I DIDNT INCLUDE DIRECTIONS TO THE CHURCH OR THE RECEPTION HALL!!!
Girls, it was not a pretty scene!
But after bit*hing and moaning I took a breath and just said...oh well, this should be my biggest problem w/ the wedding! So dont worry.... and see, it could always be worse

awe... Take a step back, breathe, and then get back in there. You're not done yet. DH and I made our own. We bought the cardstock and just printed them ourselves on there. Quick, cheap, easy, and you don't have to wait.
