Re: August Brides..
We mailed invites juuuust before post office closed Saturday, and they went out for sorting and a whole bunch of people got them today! We got a bunch of calls from people who loved them, even one of my dad's softball buddies
I know at least one person mailed the RSVP today so maybe tomorrow i'll start receiving a few?

Quick question... Have any of you girls gone for your meeting at your RH for menu, cake, etc. yet?
Yeah, I did that today actually. I went to my RH and finalized everything, and I went to the bakery that they use directly to pick out and taste cake flavors... yummy! I'm very excited about my cake, it's going to look like my invites!

Uggh!! No. FH and I work opposite schedules so finding time for us to both go and do something is so hard. One more thing that I need to add to my list of things to do!

5) Have to find a person to do makeup and hair.
6) Guys need to get Tuxes
7) FH has decided on gifts for GM, just need to order
8) Parent gifts
9) BM gifts
10) make appt. to see sample of CPs (in June)
11) Find someone to do our ceremony
12) but ring bearer pillow and flower girl basket.
13) Book rehersal dinner
14) waiting for invites to send them out.
15) find undergarments and blue shoes.
16) pick up headpieces and find a veil

There is so much more that I cant even remember.

Re: August Brides..
Working on my guest list...invites are in, but theyre pockets and we still have to assemble them!Still need to finish BP gifts...
Need to schedule hair & makeup trial
Umm, other than that, have to drop off menu, program and place card templates/info to printer.
I think that's pretty much it.
