Invitations

Congratulations on your new baby! When was he/she born?

Invitations - I used LA Productions

I'm not doing any of the Ceremony Stuff that you mentioned.

Favors - what is the theme of your wedding?

Wedding Bands - We got FH's in Chinatown. I would recommend going there. There are a lot of jewelers. We got my band at Whitehall when it was going out of business.

Congrats!

Just take a deep breath and don't worry about it. The most important thing is to get invitations. You can get them on line inexpensively and the rest are things you can eaily fine in the store.

Good Luck!

Congrats!

Invites I did a DIY project

Rings we shopped around Tri County and got some prices and ideas of what we wanted. FH got his band there, I found one at Fortunoffs

Unity Candles, etc.-they have a ton of stuff at Party City as well as Davids Bridal...check them out

Hi there

Invitations - I used AP Printing (I need my invitation in English & in another language for my OOT guests)

Unity candle and ceremony stuff - Lisa from Elite Affairs (she's a vendor on LIW)

Favors - I bought wine from a wine liquidation. Personalized ribbon & Organaza bag from Ebay and my mom & godmom wrap it up for me.

Wedding bands - Ice.com

Congrats on starting your new family!

Invitations- we are ordering our online to cut out the middle man. There is a great website called www.paperandmore.com. You can order a sample invitation to assure card stock quality. You can also fill in all the information (they have SO MANY wording choices to look at, or you can custom write) and preview what the invitation will look like online BEFORE ordering! In my opinion the card stock is middle of the road, but they will end up in the garbage anyway after the wedding!

Favors- we are doing a donation to UNICEF (we are both teachers). There are so many different charities to chose from. Most, including UNICEF, will also send you individual donation cards to give to each guest. Ours will be placed at their individual table settings.

Good luck & be well!

Congrats and I totally know how you feel. When I started wedding planning my daughter was only 7 mths old and I was stressed but it got better. I won't say it's easy planning a wedding with baby but it's so worth it. I constantly make weekly do lists and try to get everything done.

For ceremony stuff - go to Michaels. They have all that stuff

Favors - decide your budget, google it and order online.

Invites - seems like lots of girls use Tessa on here and she works with all budgets, or again Michaels. All depends on what you want to spend.

Rings - go to the same jeweler that you got your engagement ring from or a local jeweler.

Good luck and try not too stress. Some days you'll accomplish more than others but it'll all be done by your wedding. Also ask your friends and family to help!

congrats!!!!

For ceremony items such as unity candle and ring bearer pillow and basket I suggest Ebay. You can get a great deal!

Try exclusivelyweddings.com for a lot of that wedding stuff like unity candles and even invites. I found they have the best prices and you get 15% off your first order I think.
