I know how you are feeling. I am so stressed out too! We just bought a house and I feel so overwhelmed. When are you sending your invitations out?

My dress won't be in until July but I do have my headpiece and veil. I don't have my undergarments either. I think we will be doing the florist in June. The invitations will be sent out in July and shop for the wedding bands in August. What kind of favors did you get?

Re: How are all the OCTOBER brides doing?...

we're doing personalized playing cards that i got from theknot.com. our first overnight trip was to foxwoods, so we thought it was a nice, practical favor that has some meaning to us!!

what are you doing??

We are having a beach/nautical theme. So I got glass bowls from Michaels, put sand, green beach glass, seashells and a 'Thank You' sign in the bottom of the bowl. Then got small glass toppers and put a small green candle in it. Our color is hunter green. Next is to put them in silver gift boxes with a green ribbon. We are going to attach
a beach scene favor tag with the saying 'A Gift from the Sea', Donna & Matt with our wedding date.

Re: How are all the OCTOBER brides doing?...

The biggest thing we have left to do is limos. My invites are almost done(75% are addressed, stuffed, & sealed). Tommorrow I am going for my hair trial & afterwards I will measure lengths for my veiL(I have my tiara already & I am ordering my veil online). I have my petticoat, but need corset, slippers, & thigh highs. My girls dresses are ordered but haven't arrived & we all need to have our alterations done. Hopefully in the next few weeks I will get my CD favor music arranged & MOH & I will burn CD's. I also have to work on different layouts for my program & other items like that. I think I am doing pretty good with everything, but I feel like I'll never get it all done! These 4 months are going to fly!!!!

Re: How are all the OCTOBER brides doing?...

I feel like I am at a stopping point, I can't get a hari trial until I get my headpiece, can't get a headpicec with out my dress. Tried to wrap the B< jewelery and get those in order, and I lost a necklace, how I have no clue.

We need to get limos, but still ahven't decided on what we want, if we are getting a limo for us, sice we are seeing each other before, and getting marreid at the reception.

Hopefully I will be getting my butt in gear, I started my porgrmas last week also.

Re: How are all the OCTOBER brides doing?...

Hi ladies,

Let's see...

I have invites and tuxes left to do and ALL the little extras!

I've lost all motivation. Can't get myself to do a thing, wedding related. Anyone else in a slump? I can't get myself out of it

shelzyp Posted: Jun 05, 2003 04:34 PM

Re: How are all the OCTOBER brides doing?...

I feel that way too, I keep thinking of things I need to do, but keep putting it off.

I better get out if the funk to, I need to get my butt in gear.

Re: How are all the OCTOBER brides doing?...

Hi Girls :)

I'm pretty much done too with all the big stuff. I just have to get the tuxedos and make sure the flower girl dress gets ordered soon. Then I have to do the detail stuff. I'm finishing up the favors probably this next week. Have to make the programs, menu cards (when I know what the menu is for sure) and finish the direction cards for the invitations. I have to get the undergarments for my dress and I have my first fitting next month. I think that's everything. Oh I have another hair trial with jennifer next month too.
