I cant believe that we are only 5 months away....I haev no invitations...no flower girl dresses, I dont think any of the Mother's have purcahsed their dresses yet. I have no idea when my shower is going to be, but stuff keeps coming off the registry. My bachelorette party in in August. I am just slightly stressed with getting stuff done for the wedding...and on top of it, we just started shopping for a HOUSE! I am crazy to take that on too right now!
Aww... i am so happy that we are in the same exact boat.... the only differance is i dunno when my bach party is going to be! I have been looking for a house for about 5 months now
but it seems like things are taking a turn to the bright side and i have my hopes up!!oohh... i am beyond stressed! I feel like I will not get everything i want done on time!

Don't worry! I don't have invites yet either, still looking at samples. I also still need limos, rings, bridal party gifts and to book the honeymoon!!!! And both moms need dresses. On the bright side, we are booking Vegas for my b-party this week and registering for the shower since those invites go out this week. Also, next week the last bridesmaid is getting sized ( she lives in CA and is visiting) so that we can order the dresses!!!

I am highly jealous of the b-party in vegas!

Re: *~* November Is Our Month *~*
I just found out late last night that I won a custom-designed card box from Above & Beyond! So excited...it wasn't in our budget and didn't plan to get one, but couldn't resist entering their contest...and I won!!But still so many other things to do...I didn't think I wanted table numbers, but now I'm thinking maybe I do (but only if we can use the stands provided by the RH because I don't want to pay for frames). And still trying to figure out the cheapest way to print ceremony prgrams.
FH doesn't even want to hear the mention of tuxes until after the summer...he spoils all the fun...
I'd like to start looking for a veil and headpiece...maybe by mid-month I'll have some time for that.
And although I've picked out and put down a deposit for invites, the person in charge has been dragging her feet...grrr...
...I don't want to turn into a bridezilla, but I may have to in this caseAnd maybe most importantly, I need to take our koumbares ('sponsors') out for lunch one day to look at crowns and candles for our greek orthodox ceremony, and also look for favors...this may have to wait until early August given my busy summer schedule and theirs too.

It is fun to see who has what done, also a little nerve- wrecking! And I know there is more to add my list like find officiant, book rehearsal dinner, order menus, etc.
Vegas has been a PROCESS to get everyone to decide and search for flights/ hotels but it's finally looking good!
