Re: November brides, how are you doing
My wedding is Nov. 8th & I have tons of stuff left to do! Pick out & buy wedding bands Finish getting addresses to calligrapher for envelopes/stuff and mail invitations Buy gifts for bm's, fg's and parents Buy undergarments Have my shoes dyed ivory to match gown Hair trial (had my makeup trial yesterday-loved it!) Start burning CD's for our favors & look for clip art for covers Compile song lists for DJ Compile pic lists for photographer Have engagement pics taken (was supposed to be yesterday but due to blackout it was cxl'd after I had my hair & make-up done) Marriage License Find my 'something borrowed' (jewelery possibly?) Pick readings & ask our readers Print out church programs Tuxes Set rehearsal dinner (already booked rehearsal) Reserve block of rooms at alternate hotel since ours is booked already & incl info w/ invitation
Probably lots more but now I'm all flustered thinking about all THIS stuff! GL All!

Re: November brides, how are you doing
FH's is a simple small platinum band, comfort fit.
My will is being made to copy my e-ring and interlock where the gold bars are on my e-ring, so they will be flush against each other.
I think all we have left to do is the guys tuxs, bridal party gifts and programs if we decide to do them.

Re: November brides, how are you doing
Ours is 11/2 and I am getting nothing done. I keep waking up in the middle of the night and I can't get back to sleep because all I think about is Bubbles, programs, adressing envelopes, prayers, readers, rehearsal dinners....
Too much left to list....
Just try to remember to have a little fun with it. You only plan a wedding once...and now we know why

Re: November brides, how are you doing
FH is getting as motivated as I am with wedding planning. My goal for this weekend was invitations. Today he wakes up and says: 'how about today let's go shopping for the favors (picture frames and get the copies of our engagement photos) and the kids favors (toys to help keep the kids occupied during our cruise reception). and tomorrow let's work on our invitations'
