i decided i am not doing programs...i am doing menus but cant do that til we pick our food out...our tasting wont be until june i think.



Our tasting is in May so that is when I'll worry about menus. And as for programs....we still haven't completely agreed on readings yet so that will have to wait as well.

We are inviting 145 and hoping/expecting 110-120, how many programs should we print?



Maybe 50?



Can you call my mom and tell her that not every man and woman will want a program???!!!

She said that if 120 people RSVP yes I should make 126. 1 for me & FH, 1 for her and my dad, one for FH's mom, one for the Best man, one for the moh and one for my other BM...she thinks that every couple will want to have 2 programs from my wedding just lying around their house!!!

Yeah I am wondering the same thing. Our ceremony is at 4 pm on a Friday so how many guests are REALLY gonna come?

Also, in regard to the menus - are you girls doing them b/c your hall doesn't, or are you choosing to do them anyway? I actually don't know if my hall will supply them - guess I need to find out!



We are getting married at 6:30 at our RH. Our invites will say 6:15. with Adult Reception to Follow...we are hoping our ceremony will have most of our guests there.
I didn't even ask our hall about the menus...I just love my colors so much that I'd like to have the menus match our colors!!!

Hahaha......that is very funny!! Sure I will call your mom and tell her!! LOL

I am inviting close to 300, expecting 250 and I think I am only doing 50-75 programs. I figure 1 per couple + not everyone goes to the church!! Hmmm...maybe I need more?? lol

Re: Helllllllllllo August Brides!!

Oh man... seems like I have so much still to do. I was so proud of us for registering, deciding on DJ/live music for reception and photographer this week. Oh and we did our save the dates! I just have to send. (I wasn't even going to do them b/c we have a short engagement, but our mothers really wanted us to as we have some out of town guests.)

Major things:
Florist
Inivtations
Limos
Tuxes

Other stuff that I'm not as worried about:
Gifts for bridal party
Wedding bands (how far in advance do I order these?)
DIY Menus/Programs
Favors
Make hair appointment
Rehearsal Dinner location

AND WORK OUT! (A must.)
