Hi girls!!! I got 5 responses yesterday!!! Very exciting...people actually want to come to my WEDDING!

Isn't it great??

I've gotten a few expected no's so no biggie but a few yeses.

I feel loved.

Finished putting the 'thank you' flags on my favors this past weekend

Bought a Croline (sp?) for my dress from Ebay and it came in on Monday!! FAST!

Oh, real cute!!

I bet they wouldn't have taken it so well if you didn't send them an invite and said to them 'oh, I thought I sent you one!'

I have my preggo ex-BM and my MOH making calls for me starting tomorrow -- my RSVP date!! I set the RSVP date about two weeks earlier than I really needed to so that MAYBE I'll actually have my count by the time I wanted it anyway!!

That is nice of your MOH to call. I am delegating that to the parents and my FH.

Re: October Girls Update

i'm reading everyone's posts and i can't wait to start getting responses. I was going to send mine out tuesday, but i went to the hotel, and checked on my clock of rooms and there are only 7 left and only 1 of my fi's sibblings made a reservation. so we sent out an email to all of them about it to give them a heads up before the invites go out.

we've done it already, but this is the final 'you need to move or there will be no rooms' hopefully there will be enough rooms for them. i'm keeping my fingers crossed.

i am also hoping that my invites will go out tomorrow! I can't wait!

then it is on to writing shower thank yous....

Re: October Girls Update

OHMIGOSH! I did probably 15 thank yous yesterday for my shower and my hand almost fell off. I feel bad because I'm almost writing the same thing in everyone's thank you.

IT's going to be horrible when the wedding thank yous need to go out....at least I'll have some help with those.

FH told me he would put the labels on the envelopes for my shower, isn't that sweet?

Re: October Girls Update

We've been assembling invitations all week! Our mailing goal is the 28th. We picked tuxes last weekend (Men's Wearhouse) and I have my hair trial on Sunday.

I know my shower is coming soon, it's inevitable but the suspense is killing me!

i know exactly how you feel about the shower. i felt the same way, but now i am almost sad that it is over. it lasted a little longer today because my aunt and uncle dropped off their gift, a 42 bottle wine cooler, today. i can't wait til i have my house to put the stuff in!!!

Booked my RD last night. We are having it at Paparazzi in Westbury. It was nice to have people there who know us, we got a little bit of a deal on our package with them.
