Big Weekend...

1) I had 'minor' oral sugery done on Saturday - still in pain and have to go back next Saturday for a follow up.

2) Scheduled my 'Zoom' Teeth Whitening appointment for April 10

3) Tried on my dress, veil, shoes, undergarements - all fit perfectly, need to steam the dress and veil. Have to figure out what the deal with the crinoline is. It's just not sitting right on me - poofy in some areas, too poofy in others, not poofy enough in others. Might look into buying another one.

4) Finished 90% of the projects - menu's, table votives, favors, slipper baskets, etc, etc, etc.

5) Finished the RD invites, just need to put stamps and mail them out.

Anyone else have a 'productive' weekend?

Re: Big Weekend...

Sounds awesome Chris, everything is really coming together!!!!! Sure, I had a big weekend too!!

Friday night I typed all of our invitation addresses into the computer and did a few test runs. Now we're just about ready to print the envelopes!!

Saturday was my SHOWER!!!!!!!

Sunday we spent all day putting the gifts away. Everyone was so generous, too bad we didn't register for a house!!!

Re: Big Weekend...

congrats. Quite productive. So glad the dress fits perfectly! In case you need to buy another crinoline, I got mine here: ebay link


as for myself, we registered at Macys this weekend. Not that fun. We didn't really enjoy it. So we went home and did most of it online!

Re: Big Weekend...

I picked up my veils & hairpins form Macy's on Saturday-they gave me a discount for putting me through so much grief. Finalized our list last night & have almost all the addresses for the envelopes.

I'm glad you waited it out until Friday before going 'bridezilla' on their azzes.

What do you think?



In my non-professional opinion - I would go with the 'moderate full'. I think the 'full' is too much, don't you?

Moderate Full:

They actually called me Friday to tell me that it wasin. They gave me 25% of my slip & are sewing in the cups for free. So yes it worked out & I am happy with my stuff

Re: Big Weekend...

That's great Christine! It's getting so close and you seem so on the ball!

We got our invites 90% done this weekend and printed on the envelopes! Hopefully have them done by next week... DIY invites are a major PITA, but worth it... as you know!

Re: Big Weekend...

I got nothing done this weekend.

At least I know this week I'll be finishing up the invites, picking up my everyday band (exchanged it for a thicker size), go apartment hunting, pick up my hair accessories and jewelry at Thomas Knoell and go to Barron's to order my veil. Whew!

Re: Big Weekend...

We had a productive weekend also!!

Finished my We do letters.....I had to get new ones because I wasn't crazy about the ones I did before. Pretty happy with the new ones

Finished wrapping the favors with some help from Darlene

Got started on the photo cube box. Would have finished it, but the frames are too heavy for the glue to hold it. So I will have to buy some L brackets later today.

Getting my hoodie embroidered after work today and hopefully finish the photo cube.

Christine, I have a moderately full crinoline if you want to try it. I only tried it on once and I was going to sell it on Ebay. For me it wasn't poofy enough, it's more of an A-line.

Janna-where did you get your hoodie embroidered? Do you mind sharing how much you spent? TIA

Re: Big Weekend...

Sounds like everyone has been productive!

After fighting with my printer, I was able to print out all of the inner and outer envelopes and direction card for invitations!

Go to be stuffing everything in a week or so, just want it done and out of the way.

Also got FH to pick out the tuxes.
