I am October 3! I feel like I don't know who else is the same weekend as me. Let's get a thread going for our weekend.

What do you have left to do? This is what I can think of that I still have to do:

BM dresses
Limos
Tuxes
jewelry

I know I am forgetting things. I will think of them as we go.

No worries ladies. Assembling and sending went quicker than we thought. Banged them out in three hours...285 of them!!!

Anyone else worried about going way over their guarantee??? 285/200

I don't have them out yet either. We're planning to finish them up over the weekend. I'm not really worried. We sent out save the dates months ago and we've talked to everyone who is invited. So they know it's coming.

Re: October 1, 2, 3 brides

My invites are out . And i am getting a lot of responses back!
This week we are going to look at tuxs.

I gotta start ordering the stupid crap like the guest book/pen and the cameras and the napkins, envelope bag.

I am going for my first fitting the 11th

Re: October 1, 2, 3 brides

Yesterday, FH decides to tell me he thinks there is a couple we left off the list that now we should invite. I am torn on it. Our envelopes are still at the calligrapher but I feel bad calling and adding a name since I asked her yesterday if I could have them back this weekend.

On top of that, I still don't know what to do about inviting the people in my office.

This is so stressful!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How many people did you want to invite, and what is your number now?

Re: October 1, 2, 3 brides

We guaranteed 200 and have about 270ish on the invite list so we are ok. I would love to have as close to the 200 as possible.

I am not worried or stressed about the number of people at the wedding as I am about the 'right' thing to do with inviting these people.

I have the co-worker invite issue. If you invite one then that sets of a chain reaction of 'oh, we can't invite her without inviting him' problem!!!
To add even more confusion...my Mom works for the same facility as me!!!

Re: October 1, 2, 3 brides

Re: October 1, 2, 3 brides

There is so much that I should be doing.. I have been exercising a little. I go for my first fitting next week and once I have that dress on I know I will be more motivated.
I have a question about tanning. I have very fair skin and a WHITE dress. Did anyone try that spray on tan? Does it look really fake?
Also.. My invites are out and I am getting RSVP's back (all yes so far!!).
How is everyone else doing? --Kelly

Re: October 1, 2, 3 brides

My invites went out today, except for the work people. I am taking the rest of the week to decide about them. It is so confusing not only b/c of the chain reaction but b/c I am the one and only HR person here. I don't want to act like I have favorites!

The stress is starting to wear on me! There is still so much left to do!

Re: October 1, 2, 3 brides

I only invited one person from work and we are friend outside of work.
I think we are going to pick out wedding rings this weekend!

Re: October 1, 2, 3 brides

I got my first RSVP today! the invites went out Saturday, and my good friend that I work with brought her RSVP in today to hand deliver it so she could be the first! I expect I should get some early bird responses tomorrow and thursday!

Re: October 1, 2, 3 brides

That is so exciting! I got a few messages from people today that they got my invites so I should be receiving responses shortly!

On another note, I have decided to invite all the people I wanted to invite from my office. It is my wedding and I want them there. I don't care what is PC for my job. Work is work and my wedding is my personal thing! That is my story and I am sticking to it!

Re: October 1, 2, 3 brides

If you are having a Rehearsal and a RD, when are you sending out the invite/or announcements?

Re: October 1, 2, 3 brides

We are having a BBQ the day before the wedding for out of towners and such. We are going to work on the invites for that this weekend and get them out within the next week or so. This is so they will have time to decide when they want to come in and how long they will need a hotel room for.
