COME ON LADIES........Where are the July 08 brides ?

I am having issues with my bridal party. I want my friends and family and FH just wants family and his best man. FH has two sisters. I have one brother and two girls that are like sisters to me (cousins that I grew up with). I have seen this done before and I would love everyone's feedback. I think I am doing two girls to each guy. Check this out

1 maid of honor and 1 best man
4 bridesmaids 2 Groomsmen

1 junior bridesmaid and 1flowergirl/ junior bridesmaid they will wear the same dress. Junior bridesmaid is now in 5th grade and she does not want to be a 'flower girl' her little sister does. To make things easier and b/c its Hawaii and things are a lot less formal there I am having them wear the same things They can call themselves whatever they want for all I care!!!!!!!!!

Do you guys think this is crazy?????? I am having a hard time with this!!!!!

I feel so behind :(

---

Don't feel like that because I am shore you have done things that we haven't. What have you don so far.

---

RH
Church
DJ
I know who I am using for flowers, but haven't booked.
I have the styles of bm dresses picked out but haven't had the girls try them.

When you think about it, we really have a long time. I just have so many other things to deal with right now that planning has to take the back burner for the next month.

Listen you are doing great. I am in you the same boat with you. I am a mother of four children ( 2 teenagers , 1 per teen and a baby 1 years old again ) and a 41 year old ) ) plus I work full time with children have my own business, youth leader in my church and in other ministries so what I've been doing is getting the little things out the way like my seatting arrangment, my guest list, the color scheme, decorations, favors etc. i DO THESE THINGS WHEN i GET SOMe time during the week or my day. I figure If I get the little things out of the way then when it's time for me to focus on the big things they will be out of my way.

---

WOW! I envy you. Thanks for your support. Sometimes I lose sight of what's really important and need to be put back on track. I worry too much about how much everyone on here is doing instead of myself.

---

Listen baby girl, some time you have to take a break for yourself. I am about to do that in a few weeks. I am going to my sister house in the poconos for a few days and just chill and do what I want to do; and if that means nothing then that's what I will do.

dO YOU HAVE A PIC

No I have a ton that I like and I am not together with things like you are all. It's crazy b/c I am currently living down in D.C and everyone made fun of me when I got engaged b/c I started planning. So I stopped b/c people were seriously making fun of me 'This isn't Long Island Michelle you need to lay off'. I on the other hand am like I cannot I am from LI. Well now that I have found this site I feel so much better b/c everyone else is doing what I WANT to do so badly. But yes there are so many dresses I have found. I have to now find them on the internet and not in a mag. so I can upload them here!

my colors will be hot pink and mocha with gold accents...here's a general idea of how my bridal party will look:

http://www.davidsbridal.com/dyw/stage.jsp?li=0


some things I will have differently like the flower girl's dress and the men's tie colors (and they will have vests ofcourse) but like I said, this is the GENERAL idea....

i'm going to have between 4 and 6 bridesmaids and groomsmen (on each side for a total of 8 - 12 people in the bridal party), 2 flowergirls, and 2 ringbearers... http://www.davidsbridal.com/dyw/stage.jsp?li=0

i'm also trying to do a heart theme but I don't know how to pull it off so that people would actually recognize it as a theme...I also wanted to have table names instead of table numbers but I don't know how to fit that into a heart theme....there's not really any words related to 'heart'......sorry for being all over the place girls, I think a side effect of the engagement ring is ADD

We started planning before I got my ring . We reserved the hall back in September and I just got my ring a few weeks ago . People was saying the samething about me but I didn't care as long as FH and I was on the same page I did not care what anyone else throught.

I agree who the heck cares what others think. I also didn't have a ring for awhile. I had a plastic 'barbie' ring-thats what I called it. Mine was getting made
