Re: Im now an official 07'er!
Congrats on the switch to '07 and on your pregnancy!!!
I think you should be ok because you switched to a Thursday
I've been really happy with my vendors so far so I would highly recommend them (I also did a lot of research on service, cost, etc).
Anyway, here they are:
Makeup - Mia of BridalLounge, HIGHLY recommend. Pics of my trial in album.
Limos - Double Diamond Limos - great fleet of cars, great customer service, better prices.
Passports - go online and download the form TODAY. Mail out the forms tomorrow morning and pay for the expediting for the passport. That's the only way to guarantee you'll have them back in time. You definitely have time for them!
Tuxes - We JUST got our tuxes yesterday at Tuxedo Park in Carle Place - highly recommend as well. Their service is impeccable and the tuxes are super super nice quality. They're not the cheapest out there, but you definitely get what you pay for and at Tuxedo Park, that's a good thing.
Invitations - I am DIY'ing my pocketfolds so you can try to DIY yours, but if not, I've heard great things about Diana from Pippy's Sweets and there are a number of online places to order from. Believe it or not, Costco online has an invitations department and the prices are awesome. My cousin got her wedding invites from them and they were super nice.
Don't worry, you definitely have enough time to get it all done, you just have to hussle a bit. The good thing is that Thursday isn't AS popular as the other weekend days so you should have better luck getting vendors you want.

Re: Im now an official 07'er!
Congratulations!!!
I absolutely 100% recommend Exclusively Weddings (eweddings.com) for your invites - I ordered ON Memorial Day, and had them in my hands 10 days later, and they're PERFECT! The quality is great, prices are great, and they were SO nice on the phone. (They'll talk you through the ordering if you're nervous about doing it online.)
happy planning!

as to Passports. They have suspended needing them but you need proof that you applied. So I don't think you need to pay the extra money to expedite. But check that I am correct on this. There were several posts on I think Fri w that news or go to the passport site to verify.

Just as a side note, they've only suspended needing passports for the places that previously didn't require them prior to the changes (like the Caribbean) if I'm correct.
Either way, I'd pay to expedite it - better safe than sorry.

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Departments of State and Homeland Security announced June 8, 2007 that U.S. citizens traveling to Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Bermuda who have applied for but not yet received passports can nevertheless temporarily enter and depart from the United States by air with a government issued photo identification and Department of State official proof of application for a passport through September 30, 2007. The federal government is making this accommodation for air travel due to longer than expected processing times for passport applications in the face of record-breaking demand.
The Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI) was mandated by Congress in the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 to strengthen border security and facilitate entry into the United States for citizens and legitimate international visitors. WHTI requirements for air travel took effect on January 23, 2007.
Adults who have applied for but not yet received a passport should present government-issued photo identification and an official proof of application from the U.S. Department of State. Children under the age of 16 traveling with their parents or legal guardian will be permitted to travel with the child’s proof of application. Travelers who have not applied for a passport should not expect to be accommodated. U.S. citizens with pending passport applications can obtain proof of application at: http://travel.state.gov/passport/get/status/status_2567.html .
This accommodation does not affect entry requirements to other countries. Americans traveling to a country that requires passports must still present those documents.
Since implementation, U.S. Customs and Border Protection has and will continue to exercise its current authorities in unique circumstances to allow individuals subject to the WHTI requirements into the United States based on other evidence of identity and citizenship.
As early as January 2008, the departments will begin to implement WHTI at land and sea ports of entry. A Notice of Proposed Rulemaking outlining a phased implementation is expected to be published in the Federal Register within the next two weeks.
Travel document security remains a top priority for the U.S. Government. Both the 9/11 Commission and the U.S. Congress urged strengthening of travel documents to prevent entry of terrorists across our borders, reduce use of fraudulent documents, and speed up entry procedures.
