Re: January Brides?

Oh girls Im so nervous. Im the week after you.

With the holidays it is going to be a nightmare, My fitting is next week! And the MONEY! Is freaking me out- all the final payments right around christmas time

Re: January Brides?

HI Guys,

welcome all Jan Brides I have mostly everything done invotes went out on 11/3. I still have to but the undergarments first fitting is on Nove 21 and buy the parents gifts and start putting together the favors besides that I am all done 79 days to go ahhhhhh!!!!!!!

Re: January Brides?

Money is freaking me out too. I am always thinking about it.

Re: January Brides?

Okay, i think i am really going to flip out now. FI still has to get me about 8 addresses and i still haven't brought them to the calligrapher. Replies say December 5th. for the first time i had an all time breakdown. Should i just bring what i have and not wait- turn around time for calligrapher is about a week....
help..help..help..help..help..

Re: January Brides?

deedee get those envelopes over to that caligrapher asap! You can always bring the strays to her another day. Try not to stress out too much though.

Re: January Brides?

I will have everything by tomorrow- of so FI says... lets just say that i was definatly a 'possessed bride' today.
yeah, they are going out a little late but-better late than never i guess....

Re: January Brides?

My invites went out 2 weeks late because of darling FH... don't stress about it. I already got about 7 responses, and they keep pouring in
My dress is not yet here, so I cannot even begin to stress about my fittings (which is good because for some reason in my senior year I got the 'freshman 15' that I gotta loose in a month ), AND 2 of my BM live out of NY so I have to ship there dresses. And they cannot decide on shoes.....And I have not met with the preist yet for the ceremony arrangements.... AND my favors haven't come in yet... AND I have only $4000 left in my bank account & we owe over $10000......

ugh. I think I'm gonna puke.

Re: January Brides?

We all have our 'Days'. myne was definatly yesterday- i seriously thought that i was going to have an anxiety(?) attack! These addresses have been nothing but hell to get... FI put nicknames on the list of his friends from work-what the F$%K is that all about.
(deep breath)
but today he already called me with 6 names and addresses. So we are looking @ these frickin' invites going out probably by Wednesday of next week. It'll all get better for us,......i hope........

Re: January Brides?

Yea DeeDee, I hope so too. If you call me again at 11:30 at night to vent about invites THAT I OFFERED TO HELP YOU WITH....I'll bite your head off

Just hang in there. Your day will be perfect.

Re: January Brides?

We sent out our invites on 11/3 and got a bunch of responses already. I still have to get my undergarments...and I just got notice that my dress is in. AAAARGH!!! I wanted to lose weight and didn't, now I really have to buckle down.
Okay, BTW, Deedee, don't worry, my FI actually didn't correct the spelling on one of his friends names, which is a really tough name, and the guy let us know for the place cards. I don't want you to think you are alone on this, we all have difficult men, yet we love them.

Re: January Brides?

They're men....we have to take it with a grain of salt.

You guys are all doing fine.... and my FH gave first names & no last names or a bunch of his co-workers invitations......... MEN!

Re: January Brides?

FH just gave me 6 names..no addresses..Im ready to freak out on him,my mom is here from out of town, im not even home and now Ivegot to get these invites out ASAP, Ill do the caligraphy myself and hope for the best. men are not bright when it comes to planning this..I stressed!!!! e are starting topay off vendors..thats a GREAT feeling!!!

Re: January Brides?

Invites are @ the calligrapher and they will be done and out tomorrow. Nothing like waiting til' that last minute.
I feel like a new person today. Last week with knowing about my shower and the anxiety of invites I was a mean, mean person to all the people in my life. My MOH is an angel with all that she did for me. And I must have hung up on my mother at least a dozen times when she was helping me also.
I am free and clear, and I just can't wait for SEATING ARRANGEMENTS! YAY...

Hearzbellz and Aliciahelene, how are my Wedding Twins doing???
oh yeah my first fitting is on next Tuesday. I am really excited...

Re: January Brides?

Glad to hear they are getting done.

I'm starting to stress too. I'm realizing I am running out of time and I am forgetting things.

Re: January Brides?

Make lists, lists and more lists. I find myself writing things down whenever I think of them. It's funny, I was just telling my mother today how much thought goes into every single thing you do. Everyone keeps telling me that the day is so worth all the stress.

we'll soon see!

Re: January Brides?

Aside from the $$, I am not freaking too much anymore. I am pretty much were I wanted to be. BTW, how fast did you get some of your responses back? We got like 10 the first week, I was really surprised.
