Re: August Brides...

You could say I am feeling the stress, yes, considering I am practically living on Xanax LOL!

My MOH is cutting apart my menus and 'thank-you' things that we are putting into each favor.

Need to print out seating cards as well as the table #s and buy frames for them.

We have all the BP gifts, I just need to wrap them and write out the thank-you cards.

Still need to buy parents gifts.

Need to pick up unity candle.

Need to meet w/ our DJ to finalize plans, and meet w/ the organist at the church.

Need to start packing for HM (but we have a day in between the wedding and HM so this isn't super high on my priority list right now).

Bachelorette weekend is next weekend!

I think that may be all...

I hear that! I still have a way to go but I'm getting to the point where I want it to just be here already! I want to enjoy rather than building up some fantasy in my head!!

Re: August Brides...

Yup that's me! very emotional and all of the above... With 15 days left, I find that sometimes i'm pleasant then, I think about another thing that needs to be done and freak out.
I get frustrated when someone calls out my name. I also have no tolerance for ignorance. Besides that i'm fine . I still need to:

finish favors (part on back order)
last fitting (8/8)
fg last fitting (8/8)
meet with all vendors (first week of a Aug.)
print programs (waiting til last minute)
pick-up veil from Barrons
box RH items
e-mail must-take list for pics
speak to Rev.
pick up wagon for FG

That' pretty-much it (I think).
I think my shower is this weekend

Re: August Brides...

I've been nothing but stressed for the past week!!

I still have:

-order rest of BP gifts (already know what they are)
-get day of hoodie embroidered (this weekend)
-select music for ceremony
-programs
-final meeting with RH
-final meeting with DJ
-placecards for RH (getting them printed)

Umm, I think that's it.

But, we're also in the process of moving and packing up 26 years worth of my stuff, that I can't seem to let go.
