Re: Official August 2006 Thread. Come on in.
Ok, I have HAD IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So after calling the shop that I ordered my bm dresses from for two weeks she gets on the phone with me and tells me she screwed up the date the dresses are coming in. Originally she told me they were being shipped 5/15 and now she says she misunderstood them and they are shipping 6/15!! ***, and yes, to-date I still do not have a flipping sample of the fabric even AFTER she claims she mailed me one last week. And when I say that I am worried that my OOT girls will only have 4 weeks to do alterations, etc. she tells me 'Oh don't worry about it. We do bm alterations overnight here'. WHat????????????????????????????? She better be as good at alterations as everyone on LIW says she is, since the only reason I ordered my BM dresses through her was b/c I also needed someone to alter my dress.
Ok, deep breath out. I am under control again.

csui25,Sorry to hear you have to go through this. It stinks especially since you assume they are professionals and know what they are doing.
I am sure everything will come out nicely, but I do hope that drama resolves itself soon that way you can concentrate on happier things again!
Sending you

Re: Official August 2006 Thread. Come on in.
I would definitely check though, mine faxed me directions and then I just had my printer make them from that!79 days to go for me..waiting for the calligrapher and then..out they go
My first fitting appt. is set for June 22nd
Keep up the great work ladies..everyone seems to be working hard. It will all be worth it, and pay off in the end
Just keep thinking of that when stress get's to you..we all feel each other's pain at this stage of planning! I want it to be here already!

Re: Official August 2006 Thread. Come on in.
I am going to put my invites together this weekend. I hope. Still waiting for addresses from mom and FMIL.
I also had to put together my own church directional card this morning at work. (Glad work is good for somethings.
) I ended up getting directions from the church that they fax to people and typing it up in word. I used the postcard paper so I was able to print 4 cards at a time. All major vendors are booked, now it is for the waiting of when the dress will come in and all those details.
Hope everyone has a productive & relaxing weekend.
