Re: November brides, how are you doing

This is what I've done since Thursday:

Had my tasting (so awesome)
Met with the baker and designed my cake and grooms cake
Spent 8.5 hours folding my invites, making church directions and making bus info attachment for the response card.

I feel very accomplished

Wow Lori Way to go!!!

This weekend we did a lot.

Decided on tux style
Picked up e-photos to make our frame favors
Bought kids favors
Working on invitations

Seems like we did more than that, and still so much more to do!

Re: November brides, how are you doing

Invites are out. Off to Tiffany's tomorrow to buy 3 of my BM's special gifts b/c they have gone above and beyond - nothing says thank you like a little blue box

Then Sunday off to Fortunoff to buy my girls I babysit for bracelets for helping me at the church.

I'm spending lots of $$$ this weekend!!!! These girls are worth every dime - I'm so lucky!!!!

regina2 Posted: Sep 05, 2003 03:59 PM

Re: November brides, how are you doing

My first fitting is going to be September 23rd.

lorimari Posted: Sep 11, 2003 11:48 PM

Re: November brides, how are you doing

I'm coming along nicely - invites are coming back in and a nice mix of yes's and no's:)

Met w/ Vinny at Patken to finalize the day. My first fitting is Oct. 2nd and I have to finalize my menu and meet w/ Flowerfield for a final meeting on the 28th.

I am not stressed at all - things are going very smooth. A few glitches with people inviting themselves to my wedding but other than that no complaints!!!!!

Everyone is doing great - can't wait to see everyone's pics!!!!
