Re: August Brides - What are you working on these days?
My first fitting is June 21st. I am so excited. I just picked out my shoes.I hope to see some more responses in the mail today. I have only received one and it was nice because the person I received it from wrote some sweet comments on it.('Wedding of the century', 'I've been working on my dance moves!', 'We are pumped!').
Now the next step is placing everyone at the right table. I dont want people feeling uncomfortable.
I am in the process of ordering my programs. At first my fiancee thought it was a waste of money but we were able to compromise for a inexpensive program.

Re: August Brides - What are you working on these days?
We are sending out the invitations this week. I know its a little late, but we sent out STDs and we are sending advanced packages to out of town guests. This week we are taking care of rings, the cake and tuxedo rental. This weekend I am picking up bridal party gifts, thank you cards and we are designing the rehearsal dinner invitations and menus.

Sending out invites tomorrow. Planning to book RD and honeymoon this week. Meeting first florist on Friday (hoping to book them). Still need to do Tuxes, Limo, favors, gifts and all my accessories. My first fitting is not until the end of June.....does anyone else still feel like there is WAY to much to do???

Re: August Brides - What are you working on these days?
*Update*We sent out the invites last tuesday on schedule, but we still have a few more to send out this week. We already got 11 responses and they are all coming.
We got a call from the Hutington Townhouse that they want us to come in and pick out our food for the wedding.
I have to get Tuxedos for myself and the 7 guys in my bridal party.
We have to call the DJ so we can pick out all the songs we want and of course give him more money.
We have to go leave a payment on our wedding bands. We had mine custom made and I saw it on Friday. It looks amazing.
We still have to buy mints with personalized wrappers for the reception, a Pen for the sign in book and one gift for our readers. We have Danielle's best friends parents doing a reading, and we have no idea of what to buy them...Any suggestions would be great.
We are in the process of painting and cleaning our new apartment. It needed more work than we both thought it did, but it will look amazing when it is done.
We bought new furniture from Seamans last weekend.
We have been so busy and we are still going to be really busy in the weeks coming...My head has been spinning and we have both been so stressed out....I am hoping that our day is beautiful, because Danielle really deserves this....and I cannot wait to go on our honeymoon where I wont need my checkbook, or my cellphone for 1 week....

Thank you!
That is what my bo-k will look like but I will have a few red roses scattered, my girls are wearing claret (red).
Jacki-what are your colors?

Re: August Brides - What are you working on these days?
Since I last posted, I've placed an order for veil (will come in at the end of the month); we got the tuxedo rental situation taken care of; ordered our rings and we are reviewing contracts for limos and buses.Still left:
I have to call the band and find out about selecting songs. Our florist about flowers. Go to Audrey's Bakery and take care of the cake. Finish our favors, menus and invitations to RD and our packets for out of town guests.
And I still have to buy shoes!

Re: August Brides - What are you working on these days?
We have all of our big vendors booked. I'm still looking for someone to do my hair, possibly a pianist, and we're looking for a belly dancer.Our invites have gone out, and the RSVPs are trickling in.
Now I just have to go over all of the little details, like picking out our music, floral design session, favors, and menus.
I can't wait until it's all over though. I just want to be on my honeymoon!
