Calling February Brides!

Original post by sp04

Have any of you done your menu, details, etc.. with the reception hall yet. i still have not. If they don't give me a call by the end of the week I will give them a call. How are all of you handling the DAMN STRESS??? I think I feel like breaking down and crying every 20 minutes..

Re: Calling February Brides!

Just starting to freak out a little bit here!

I have to find a florist (only need two bo-k's, 5 corsages, 8 bouts, though so it shouldn't be too bad)
some kind of car (rolls--but only 1) and bus for OOTers
Favors (just finalized list for CD yesterday)
gifts for attendant (know what I want though, so it should be okay)

Oh, and my dress isn't in yet!!!! supposed to ship from manufacturer today

So, if anyone feels bad about what they have left to do--have them FM me

ETS: I plan on doing most of this this weekend.

Re: Calling February Brides!

We went last night to the hall and did all the details, menu,. linens, caket, etc.... It was so exciting.. I had everything down pat and it went so smooth.. The hardest thing was choosing the color of the linens. We went to the florist last saturday and our centerpieces were absolutely beautiful.. They were great. I could not have been happier.. Tomorrow we are going to get our marriage license. And I have to call tomorrow or over the weekend to set up dates with photo/video/DJ to do details.
I go back for my 3rd fitting next wednesday.... and we still have to order our favors. Hopefully we will do that by the end of the month.. But things do feel like they are falling into place.. NOW LETS JUST HOPE AND PRAY FOR GOOD WEATHER...(AT LEAST NOT A SNOWSTORM)

Re: Calling February Brides!

Wow: valentinesday... i am impressed...I gave 'productiveness' a shot this weekend ...I bought a cape to wear over the dress outside (brr). I have off today, so I will run to the drugstore and buy stuff for the bathroom basket, print out programs, start working on placecards...we'll see how that goes. I meet with the photographer on thursday. I gave my sister the favors to make (almonds) so she should be done by next weekend...
