Awe!! Yay that your dress is in! You will find a DJ!

I have finally booked my honeymoon, found a place for the girls to stay. I just got the e-mail yesterday from my invitation lady that they are already in. I'm so totally excited I can't wait to go pick them up. Right now I'm working on the BIG list...trying to write down every minute detail so I don't miss anything. I'm telling you I have to have post-its near me at all times because I will think of something else that's not on the list.

Hope you girls are doing well. I saw that some of you have mailed invites and they're gorgeous!

Right now i'm trying to pick out a garter, a unity candle, and get presents for my BM's. I also have to figure out if i'm making my own menu's or not. Next week we're doing our final vendor meetings since we're moving soon, have to do everything early!

And i'm having fun stalking the mailbox for RSVP's and my registries!

I asked the post office, they told me they weren't sure and it usually takes a while after they increase the postage... that's why I sent mine out before the cut off and stocked up on the old wedding heart stamps for my invites. I'm even a psycho bride and put the .58 hearts on my RSVP envelopes because I wanted pretty stamps on everything!

Too bad I didn't think about that. Oh well, hope people like the foreever stamps ')
We're having postcards for the RSVP's, so those I know I won't have pretty ones for...oops...

I'm picking up invitations tomorrow morning! I can't even wait!!

I'm going to order stamps on zazzle.com because they have nice love stamps for the new postage.They have great shipping options. I'm going to do the 2 day and we're going to try to send all our invites out on this Friday. You can also do stamps.com and customize your own stamps. I think it's going to feel so real when I see the invites. Good luck girls!
