Hey all August 03 Brides!!

I get so jealous when I see all the Sept, May and other popular months.

Theres only like 5 of us but we need to reach for 1000

lol.. very true!!!


I kind of like the fact that there are soo few of us..

LOL Betty, here is one more post on our way to 1000!
Just sent out our STDs today I cannot wait to hear the feedback. I think I had a slight bridezilla moment, FHs only job in the whole STD process was to mail them out. I must have told him 100 times to make sure he weighs them, not to just send them out w. one stamp. Finally, he asked me, 'do you think I am a dumbas* or what?' I think I waited too long to answer and he got mad.
We booked our florist this past weekend as well, went w. Flowers by Brian. Now its onto invites. I have NO idea what I want, so that should be interesting.

6 mos. from sunday for me!!

Michelle, I'm August 2nd, too!! I was beginning to think I was the only one!! Love all you August 03 Brides!

Hi guys!! I'm more or less done.. just have a couple things to do.. FH and I need to book the honeymoon and we picked out the rings but just need to go back and see the jeweler and pray that it's what we want.. scary thing is that he has not told us how much yet!!

I sent out the check for pre-cana today, so hopefully that'll put us in the April 27 day..

uhm, what else..

August 30th for me, lots to do, freaking out half the time..still looking for a band, in the process of booking florist..and need to go to make final decision on one of my dresses and on top of it all planning from out of town!!!

I'm glad to see other August brides

I am August 23. Did you find a band? I went to see Primetime Live and Aracadia, I really enjoyed arcadia. I am interested in seeing the band Timepiece as well any suggestions.

What color are you bridesmaid gowns?

I was thinking of Rose color from dessy Sylte 1953

THANK GOD we have the big stuff done!!!!!!

We just picked up our invites and I can't stop looking at them. I keep saying Ken do you want to see them again (he thinks I'm insane).

We are still deciding between two BMs dresses (but I think we know which one).

We MUST start planning our HM SOON!!!!!

We still need to look for rings.

Other than that we are right on target

Forgot to say we started PreCana Thursday so that will be out of the way

We picked out our invites, but we haven't ordered them yet? Have you girls ordered yours?

Right now, I'm focusing on the Honeymoon. We finally decided to go to Italy!

For you girls who haven't decided on a honeymoon location yet, I saw the best book at the Barnes & Noble in Union Square called 'The Good Guide to Honeymoons' it went over so many honeymoon locations. I wish I had seen it when we were still trying to decide where to go!

I ordered my invits already because they are coming from Canada on special order and they are in two languages so they needed more time for processing. I was thrilled to get the conversion rate though, it was a little added bonus for us.

Invites are the next thing on our list. We booked our florist last week. Plans are rolling along, have most of the big things booked (the benefit of having a long engagement) I am going to look at invites w. my BMs this weekend, FH wants me to narrow it down before he comes to look at them w. me

I'm August 22 - has everyone already booked their video (if you are doing a video)? I am having the hardest time. I think we are really behind on everything - We still need to do:

Video
limos
honeymoon
rings
priest
readings
bridesmaid dresses
invitations
favors?

and probably ten thousand other things!!

We just picked up our invites and I love them!!
We need to start working on HM
We are doing a donation and little kisses in organza bags for favors with a little card (need to be done)
We must pick out readings
We found BM dresses but need to order them.

Otherwise we have lots of little things...menus, programs, seating cards, favor cards...

edited to say: Kim0822 you have FM

Kim, I booked Wild Rose, I love them and their work.
