no we got them early because there was a sale. Don't worry but you should be looking at least at patterns and such.

I agree. I only have my invites because I made them myself and I wanted to have them done early.

I didn't order invites yet either, but we did pick out the ones we want- we're still trying to finalize the guest list. So stressful!

Re: October brides!!!
We made ours for Sep 7th, just so the stragglers and OOT guests can get it back to us at a decent time frame. Our Final count is due to the venue a month after.

Re: October brides!!!
We are designing our own invites and still working on them. I figured our RSVP date to be Sept 6th or 13th. That way we have some time to hunt the no response people down.

We are are probably using Lion in the Sun for invites, program, and favors. As far as music were checking into Variety Music, we saw them at a wedding and they were amazing.

I still have to order invitations and I'm panicking about it! I know I still have time and I'm being ridiculous but for some reason I'm so nervous. Probably because there's only 6 months and I don't know where the time went!
