Hi Girls,

I haven't really been on in awhile, I've been swamped with work and wedding stuff. I can't believe I am getting married in 7 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I still have so much to do, my face is breaking out from stress, I'm exhausted and broke!!Does anyone else feel this way?? NOt to mention I keep checking the weather on accuweather and the weather channel and they both keep saying different things!

Jeeez. I have my final fitting this Staurday and my bachelorette party is also Sat. My FH Bparty is tonight and I am a bit bummed. Is it ok to request hugs??

---

just keep thinking about how much fun the bachelorette is going to be!

Re: Official August 2006 Thread. Come on in.

Hi Ladies,

Just wanted to see how things are going on with everyone. Tomorrow starts our month. How are this weekend's brides holding up? csui25 - how was the bachelorette party?

I have been so busy and now with no access at work 24-7, I have to limit my liweddings to early morning and lunchtime. I still have plenty of things to do, but right now my main concern is trying to figure out something for my minimum. I didn't even come close to reaching our minimum...so now we invited extra people and will have to talk to the reception hall and see what we can do. Oh well...must have been a freak weekend or something.

Hope things are well with the rest of you. Hey Date Twins what do you have left to do?

We are still waiting on a lot of missing responses but I am worried about not meeting the minimum. My mom thinks a lot of people probably go away our weekend since it is the end of the summer. GREAT!

It couldn't be possibly as bad as mine was...I had invited originally 280 people. I have 142 attending. Apparently between vacations and people having to go back to college a lot of people had to say no. I just wished I would have known because I would have invited a lot more from the get go. Oh well not much I can do now.

I hope your experience will be better.

Re: Official August 2006 Thread. Come on in.

Invited about 260 and as of right now only 133 are coming.

Oh I know exactly how you feel. I ended up invited coworkers today. It was so awkward...but we had left them out becuase 280 was such a large number, so now we got so many no's we were like...well even if they don't bring a gift (which is fine.) At least we aren't paying the reception hall for empty seats.

Hopefully you will have better luck than me. Have you called all the people who didn't RSVP yet?

Re: Official August 2006 Thread. Come on in.

OMG.. This is my week 4 more days...

We will check the mailbox one last time tomorrow and then let each inviter (FH, FH's mom, FH's dad, my parents and me) call their own bad guests! I mean c'mon, FH's brother, sister and 2 of his groomsmen haven't responed. I asked a couple of my friends last week and they were like oh yeah, when do you need them back? Um...3 days ago!

Re: Official August 2006 Thread. Come on in.

Late August Brides, according to Farmer's Almanac they predict thunderstorms and gales for us.

What the f**k are gales? If you know please tell me!!!!

Re: Official August 2006 Thread. Come on in.

Gales? I think they are BIG gusts of wind. But I could be wrong. But I think that is why Dorothy's last name is Gale in the Wizard of Oz. Can't wait to go buy some umbrellas...and get pics of them turning inside out!

Re: Official August 2006 Thread. Come on in.

Well the prediction if for the whole northeast so maybe on that day we'll be fine.

I mean what are the odds of it galing and thundering on OUR wedding day?

Re: Official August 2006 Thread. Come on in.

We are soo stressed. About 40 people have still not responded. RSVP date was 8/19. We are short of our minimum. We have to do a bunch of calling this week. If we fall short, we are going to have to invite some people last minute which will be weird.

Re: Official August 2006 Thread. Come on in.

Are you short 40 people? Cause a lot of my family hasn't responded because they're lazy but I know they're coming

Re: Official August 2006 Thread. Come on in.

3 days to go..and so far 3 people have cancelled. we gave the final head count on sunday, but we haven't made the final payment. so at least we are not paying for people that are not there
