Posted by Jonas9281

am i on track?? i still haven't gotten flowergirl dresses, invitations, done programs, menus, gotten shoes, had any dress fittings yet, hair/makeup trials (didn't book any either for trial or day of)..basically do anything for accessories..am i ok, or do i need to start moving??!!

unless u know your exact menu and your exact program details...those dont have to be done yet. fittings...i would wait until closer to the wedding...on here it sounds like most people are going around sept-ish. you wont need your shoes until the fitting...

and for the flower girl dress...u could probably pick one out but i wouldnt order it yet cuz kids grow and u still have time.

i would start looking at invitations and think about ordering them. i have to send my stuff to the printer by the end of this month to get it for sept. then give myself time to assemble them and have things get calligraphy and such.

i would figure out hair and make up...that and invites are probably most important on the list right now. it would be nice to have the hair accessories for your trial, but not suppppper necessary.

Of all you said you didn't do, the most important one in my opinion to start working on is the invitations...I knew what I wanted and ordered them in early April but it took 2 months (7 proofs!!) until the invitation company got them right! So, give yourself enough time to look at multiple proofs and then have them printed and delivered.

As for hair and make-up...do you plan to go to your regular stylist and salon or do you want to have someone come to your house? If you want to have someone come to you, you should look into that soon because people book up quickly.

All the rest you have time for.

i dint do any of that either!!!

I am in the same place (im the 8th though lol) I had my first makeup trial today,,,,gonna do another before I decide....Im doing invites soon...and everything else in july (Im a guidance counselor so once school is done I'll get moving)

Your okay dont worry

woo hoo november brides! You're OK I agree maybe the most important to think about is the invites... start shopping around and think about wording etc. The programs and menus can wait until you finalize all the details!


I still need to book my HONEYMOON so I am a little nervous but I am in the works now with Travel Tom

i did a lot early but that's because i was engaged in JULY and am a worry type.

i'd say get the invites and book hair and makeup. i think november is a popular month and services will book fast. like maybe hold some hotel rooms as well - anything that could be 'booked' - shoes you can order on zappos or something. dresses will always be available for little girls, i'd think - though i don't know, their mom's ordered them, i don't know how long that takes - david's has a pretty quick turnaround time if you go there.

Its nice to know I'm not alone!!
I do have my invites and favors. I don't have my flowergirl and or Jr bm dresses! I still need my head pieces and my shoes .... I still have not gone for any of my trials or fittings.... and my BM dresses still have not been ordered!!!
for some reason I can not seem to finish!!!

im 2 weeks before you and i'm sorta in the same boat. i'd definitely start your invitations and figuring out your hair/makeup opinions. FH and I got ordered ours.

i'm not ordering my flower girl dresses until aug. or sept.

i'm also not doing any programs or menus until i have a finalized menu and ceremony layout.

my dress doesn't come in until july, but i wont be going for fittings until aug/sept. when i see the dress and get a swatch i can get my shoes, accessories, etc. lol.

we're going to st. lucia, but not until feb bc i am a teacher and have to wait for a break
i am going to go for invites this saturday...and i'll put fg dresses on hold until july...
the girl who usually does my hair is pregnant and won't be around for my wedding...

you guys made me feel better!! thanks!

Do you all know there is a NOVEMBER BRIDES 08 thread? It is over 22 pages long.

I 'notebook' it so it was easy to find.

i'm in the same boat.. those are about the same things i haven't done yet. I had a few set backs so i slowed down on planning. I plan on booking my hair and make up trials for some time next month or by august (but i already have both booked)...

I am DIYing invites... and we are late to order.. but are ordering them by the end of this week.

Picked out a flower girl dress..but they told us to order in august or early sept. in case she has a growth spurt. Just hoping my dress choice doesn't get discontinued like half of my choices did.

and as the other girls said..menus and programs can be done later when u know more about your food choices and ceremony!!

yeah date twin!

Well we are looking at st. lucia or riviera maya - seems to be 2 very popular choices... how about you?
