Re: August Brides - What are you working on these days?

Just ordered FG & RB dress, tux, and shoes...finally all the small purchases are done, geting ready to pay off the vendors now!

Re: August Brides - What are you working on these days?

Okay, it's the last week in June, I'm sending out my invites (after I address them) have to decide on officiant, shop for accessories, put together all the small details. get BM gifts, Men have to order tux, reserve a limo, and the rest is all small details.

Re: August Brides - What are you working on these days?

My invites are going out in five minutes. We are dropping them off in the mailbox. Phew!!!

Re: August Brides - What are you working on these days?

regi,
Me too!! Off they go!! Now it is the waiting game!

I am going for my first fitting on Friday, we have to: pick our song choices and meet with the DJ, pick our menu and cake and meet with East Wind, get gifts for the bridal party and for the parents, make the ribbon wands for the ceremony, make programs, make the donation cards for favors... and we are in the process of buying a house!!

Ahhh...writing all of that out just made me realize how much more I really have to do!!

Re: August Brides - What are you working on these days?

if anyone needs a good calligrapher contact simpy elegant. meryl is terrific.

Re: August Brides - What are you working on these days?

Hey ladies. I'm with you! Almost all the invites are out. We aer just waiting. tonight we have our sample dance lesson. July 22 we have our design session... that's where we are!

Re: August Brides - What are you working on these days?

Our 'bride to be' (I'm the MOH) is working on the seating arrangements.

Ugh!

Re: August Brides - What are you working on these days?

meeting with the catering hall tomorrow to make menu up. next week, pick the music with the dj

Re: August Brides - What are you working on these days?

I met with the catering hall on the 22nd of this month. They gave me alot of homework. That seating chart scares me...

I have been getting most of my responses back. I sent them out on the last week of May. The 27th of July is the last day to respond. I have to say half have responded and I have only received one no.

Re: August Brides - What are you working on these days?

wow guys we have one more month .............it has not hit me yet however i am feeling the changes that are coming along little by little.

is that weird or what?

Re: August Brides - What are you working on these days?

had my hair trial yesterday. came out great.
got my first response back.

Re: August Brides - What are you working on these days?

Trying to keep on top of the all the responses that are coming in. RSVP date was 6/30/04. I've sent out 170 invites and so far only 46 were not returned yet. I think that is pretty good. I will be working on the seating chart in two weeks and taking it to the printer. I am not looking forward to it. I have to order the favors for the guest, pick up the wedding bands, set a date for the engagement picture with photographer and a date for the shooting of our 'LOVE STORY' video with videographer. Also, I have to find another dress for the cruise.

Re: August Brides - What are you working on these days?

We are getting out responses and sending otu the last invites (the ones whose addresses we didn't have).

We are also planning our Oof ruff- Its a Jewish tradition where the groom (and the bride depending on teh temple) go up to the torah and are blessed on the sabbath. There is usually a celebration afterward that the couple sponsers. We don't if we are going to do this in Long Island or the City (where we live).

We are also planning our rehersal dinner type thing the night before. Basically we are inviting everyone to a bar and we will just have a little celebration and a small traditional ceremony.

7/17- 2nd fitting
7/22- Design session with J&R

Re: August Brides - What are you working on these days?

I've ordered my favors for the guest (T-shirts) and they will be here on the 19th of July. FH and GMs are going to get fitted for tux next Saturday. I've made an appointment for RBs to get fitted for their tux on the 30th, I've purchased another dress for the cruise, paid for BMs shoes to get dyed, still trying to figure out seating arrangements and trying to get the songs for the ceremony together so I can burn them onto one CD. A Bride's work is never done until after the wedding.

Re: August Brides - What are you working on these days?

This seating arrangement is a pain. I am getting cranky

52 days left and I cant wait.The anticipation is killing me
Lastfiiting is on August 2nd

7) Call DJ. Make Payment and pick out songs.
8) Got to mail priest our summaries, and payment.
9) Danielle has to get her baptism certificate to mail to the priest.
10) Buy one of our readers a gift.
11) Pick out Readings
12) Pick up gifts for Brides Maids
13) Finalize everything for our rehersal dinner and also the bachelor/bachlorette party.
14) Call the Travel Agent to see if there are any discounts for St lucia and also to leave more money towards our HM.
