I was plannin on DIYing the invites, but I stressing too much about them, so we may just order them. We went to Blu Tulip yesterday and looked through a bunch of books and found a couple we like, and some are actually cheaper than if we DIYed! I hope to order those soon!!!
.Oh and KIm!! I saw your invites in a book. They look even prettier close up!

Re: *~* November Is Our Month *~*
I'm finally looking into finalizing hair and make-up, and I'm realizing that it's going to be WAY more than I ever expected...I want to get my hair done by my regular hairdresser at Maximus (at the Source Mall), and since I'll need to have them open 1 hour earlier than usual on a Sunday, it'll be a $100 fee plus $100 for hair (and a hair trial is also $100). Make-up is $75, but to get that done and make it back to Queens in time would mean having them open even earlier and another $100. So I may just have make-up done at my house or at a salon closer to my house...but it's till going to be a lot more $$ than I had originally budgeted.Sorry, just needed to vent, but any suggestions or ideas you have are always appreciated.

Re: *~* November Is Our Month *~*
any updates over the weekend for anyone???we got our full dance routine for our first dance from my mom hahaha. so now we really have to practice it in full.
fmil got her dress (which im happy about)...BUT it's periwinkle
oh well. i wasn't there. the lady in the store basically made her get it cuz the color was flattering (as was the dress)...but periwinkle for late nov? hehehe. fsil got half of her outfit...she is doing a 3 piece outfit (skirt, top, jacket thing)...so she got the skirt which is a really pretty taffeta (and best of all its black so im happy).
but best of all...im halfway done with creating the boxes for my invites!!!! i only have to line the top half now and they will be done!

ahahahahahah I'm totally with you on that! I've actually considered it lately...LOL.
We booked hotel rooms last week and the shuttle for our guests. AND, I just found out i get 50% off invites through my company so I'm def going that route and ordering this week :) Also, all of the bridesmaid dresses and tuxes are ordered and were meeting with a Rev. this week. Oh, and I know my shower invites are out!!! SO EXCITING!
Now, I need to focus on favors, menus, programs, the HONEYMOON!, rings, E-pics, DOJ, Limos, the Rehearsal Dinnerand bridal party gifts. I also need to order shoes and my monagrammed sweatsuit for the day of. SO MUCH TO DO, SO LITTLE TIME!
