Re: Official August 2006 Thread. Come on in.

Well I also have an A and B list, so if I put my response date too early, I am afraid of not being able to send more out in time...I am confused!!!

Re: Official August 2006 Thread. Come on in.

Hi date twins Did you girls order your invites yet? I finally found ours yesterday, and plan on ordering them later this week. I was planning on sending them out around June 10th, with a response date of July 20th.
And, I think I found shoes..but haven't bought them yet.
Have you gone for your 1st fitting yet?

HI AUGUST GIRLS!!! I jsut wanted to say that I am at my FOUR MONTH MARK TODAY!! sooooooo scary I feel liks I have so much to do!

Question for ItsLaurie and any other aug bride really...but what is your invitation timing? I was plannign on sending them out min-end of May with a July response, but I dont knwo when!!! Any thoughts!!!



I am planning on mailing ours out at the end of May with a July 9th response date.

i picked July 9th because July 19th was exactly one month and that sounded too close so I deducted another 10 days and that seemed to make sense in my brain. I wish I had a better explanation! But that is it.


I love your centerpieces Catherine. . And as far as officiant goes, we really like ours and she's raved about on 2 other message boards. Let me know if you need info.

Re: Official August 2006 Thread. Come on in.

We are sending ours out the middle of June with a response date of July 19th. I hope thats not too close. We don't have a B list but we are hoping we get a lot of Nos because we have wayyyyyy too many people on our list. I should have though of the B list before I ordered the invites!

I would love to see pics of what you ended up deciding! As for the neverending list of things to be done ... I have a feeling you are right. We will all be happily married women still alking about what we still haven't finished for the wedding.

Anyway, here's a big to my August girls!



I will have to show you what I will be doing once I make an appointment for it.

I am sending my invites June 25th and RSVP date of July 26th. I don't have a B List though.

I still haven't gotten shoes, but I haven't been able to concentrate 100% on wedding stuff this month. Next week I will start dealing with the wedding details again.

Re: Official August 2006 Thread. Come on in.

Thanks ladies! I am going to order the invites May 1st -- it will take two weeks to get here from India and then I figur another two weeks to get them back from the calligrapher, so that should get them back in time for me to mail out.

The latest I would send invites in second week in June. You want ppl to get the invites atleast a month before the RSVP Date.

I am sending mine out end of May because my RSVP date is 6 weeks before (7/10/06), this is early.
