Freaking out behind on planning

How bad is it that I haven't gotten a florist yet or picked out invitations!!!

Can someone suggest a place for resonably prices invites?

I feel like this wedding is going to be a complete disaster! but if I don't get those invites out in time - no one will witness the chaotic messed i tried to plan!!!

Where did the time go?!

the flowers that stewart manor provides are FINE! i did not do additional centerpieces.... in my opinion, save the moeny and only book a florist for your personal and/or church flowers.

You're fine. I ordered my invites in Jan, they came in early Feb and I gave people only 3 weeks to RSVP so I could have time to chase people down! You'll be ok. Check out some favor stores near you, they often have affordable invitations. Are you looking for something in particular?

I can't say enough good things about Verbena Designs if you're still looking for a florist. You'll be ok and we're all here to help where we can

You'll do it. My boss just decided a few weeks back that she's getting married in July--believe me it'll all come together.

Another friend of mine who's getting married 7-7-07 just hired a florist. Many florists do multiple events in a day, so I'm sure there's many you can take you.

It's not so bad!

I ordered my invites in Mid January for my May Wedding. I just hired my florist and Limo's last month. And I only paid for the steel drum band this week!

Don't worry!! I am getting married only a few weeks after you and I don't have a florist, invites, heck our church isn't even booked yet. You still have plenty of time, don't stress over it!!

don't worry... I still don't have a limo, tuxes, favors, and BP gifts. I ordered my invites a few weeks ago from Party City and they were done and perfect within 4 days! You have time don't worry!

Hi Hall Twin! Don't worry, you will get it all done in time. I recommend Party City for invites. They offer a great deal on alot of different invites and they come in really fast!

Re: Freaking out behind on planning

don't worry about the florist.....I got mine just 3 weeks before....there are TONS of florists.

Invites take a bit more time.....b/c you need them 8 weeks before the wedding......you are okay though...just start researching now.

If you order them by the end of March, you'll be good to go.
