I feel like I am so far behind everyone else: -(

I still need to book flowers, limo, honeymoon, and invites.

I am probably going to do DIY centerpieces. Luckily my FMIL is very crafty and has offered to help out. I also have a make-up/hair trial at the end of the month and I am going to a Fox Hollow Tea Party on Thursday (hope that helps me out).

Don't feel behind. Please ask for help. I live in FL, so planning is tough. I have done so much research on all vendors and am willing to lend you the info. I ma DIY invites. I bought the pocketfolders and we're assembling them ourselves. Limos-ha, man did I learn a lesson this month on limos. I can def. help w/ that As for the HM, it depends on what you 2 like.

Re: OFFICIAL JULY 2007 THREAD

So I have a TON of OOT guest... and it is up in the air who is coming and who isn't... So I plan on having to RSVP dates... 1 earlier for the OOTer's and 1 later for the domestic family...

Then I can add more people on later on knowing how many OOTer's are going to be able to make it or not...

Does that make sense???

So Figure I am going to send out the OOT's invites beginning of April and have a May 15th RSVP for the OOTer's... and then I will send the other invites out the beginning of May for the domestic fam and have a June 15th date...

Do you think that is enough time???

It is so hard to judge... really the difference could be as much as like 60 people that may or may not come... THATS A LOT... and that is why I need to do it like this...

Does anyone see anything wrong with this that I am not thinking about???

I was plannin on sendin invites for my DW weddin in April also, so I think you are aon the right path. By the time they get their invites, they should be making plans to travel to NY, then you will have a better sense if you can add to your guest list.

Agreed, the earlier the better for OOT'ers.

Re: OFFICIAL JULY 2007 THREAD

wow!! great topic! Invites/RSVPs !
i've been wondering about invites and that sord of thing!

ok so i guess April would be a good time to mail them out. im not sure when i should set the rsvp date though.. i think i want to make it earlier than June 1st b/c you figure people are going to be late with RSVPS and then i have to hunt them down, and then i have to do a seating chart-

would it be to early if i set my date like May 18th?
my wedding is july 1st.

I NEVER wear my hair all up. So, I'm doing half up half down. Let's pray it stays! Only ceremony is outside & pics of course.
Congrats on you girls getting your dresses!
