I'm trying to just be cool with it but so many things rely on that number. Even FH's sister hasn't replied! I know she's coming but I don't know if she's bringing a guest. Ok vent over.

Dont' feel bad...my RSVP was 5 days ago and I am still missing 16 people....and that is after badgering them with phone calls, emails, texts and aim messages...what more do i have to do to get to these people????
Mind you, most of these are people who obviously I am not that close with and kind of invited them bc I felt as though I 'had to,' so if they say no I will be fine with that...but I dont want to mark them down as nos and then it turns out they are yes' and they ruin my seating arrangements!!!!

its seriously annoying and rude! I don't understand why people can't take a few seconds out of their life to respond!

Re: *~*~*~Official August 08 Thread*~*~*~*
This week has been busy. I'm making sure my girls get fitted by 7/15 or Burton's says the dresses won't be ready. I feel like I've been up everyone's *** but it has to be done. We picked out shoes but I went with one of my bm's to get them the other day and we had to order them. So we ordered a few pairs for a few girls. Last week Burton's told us we wouldn't get a swatch in time (dying the shoes to match the sash so there's no material to cut off) and then the other day when we were in they hand me a swatch like it was no big deal. Then why did you make a big thing and stress me??Bachelorette party-this is stressing me too. I told my sister just figure out how much the girls want to spend and make the arrangements. I told her what I want to do and now just make decisions. I don't think I can make another decision right now. I'm so stressed!!! I think it's going to be a great time but right now it just seems like one more thing to be concerned about.
As for DIY's the bulk of them are done. I'm going to do the program fans. I've been working on those this week. And table numbers I'll do if I get to them. I also want to work on timelines for the bridal party so they have an idea. Those will be quick and easy to print up.
Last night all of my family was over for the 4th and I was getting so stressed. Like they kept asking me questions about stuff. I am feeling like
. I know it will all be worth it but I feel like there's so much stuff. For everything I cross off the list, I add 3 more.
Tell me I'm not alone!

Re: *~*~*~Official August 08 Thread*~*~*~*
i'm hoping we get a big stack of rsvps today.... a lot of the people we havent heard from are people i know won't come but 'had to' invite, but there are also some people who i'm really waiting to hear from! (like 2 of FH's OOT aunts and some of our OOT friends)i think we are going to do ipod shuffles for the groomsmen but i'm not sure if we should get them engraved. it's free, but not sure if we should do their intials or some kind of reference to the wedding (prob not) or just leave them plain.
we're waiting on a bunch of things that SHOULD arrive in time but which will be cutting it close (our ketubah -- it takes longer because we're having it framed, our napkins, etc)
aaaaaand... i still need to decide about my name!

I can't understand why people in my bridal party have not RSVPed yet, like......MY SISTER/MOH! Does she seriously have other plans? Besides that I am also missing one groomsman and one Bridesmaid? These were some of the first people to know!

I'm using popsicle sticks and cardstock. I'm printing them on my computer and then tying ribbon on them. I got a corner rounder to make them a little softer but I don't want to spend a ton of money since most people won't even care that much. I am gonna do a mock one so I'll post a picture when I make it.
