Today is 7 months until my wedding. I feel like there is still so much more to do. How are you girls doing?

Booked the HM & the flight for it, at least going.
Finalized which Invites
Finalized which favors
Finalized which BM Dresses
Booked Hotel for Out of Town guests

Still need:
The flight BACK from the HM
To Limo or not to Limo, and how much and how long?
Undergarments
Shoes
Guest book
Table Numbers? Names?
Need to start using at-home whitening kit
BM Jewelry
BM gifts
GM gifts (clueless on this one)
Mother’s gift
Finalized Invite list from his Mother. (bah)
Tuxes
Programs?
Menus?
Order Invites
Order Favors
Find extra voltives for tables
Buy Candles for tables
Buy Lucky Bamboo for tables

So who HASN’T mailed out their STDs? Or is it just me. Friday is 6 months for me.

I finally got off my rump and did my STDs about a month ago. What a nightmare... some people didn't receive them (they were magnets) and I'm sick of hearing about it. Let's hope the invitations go better. By the way... I need to pick invitations!

We booked our Honeymoon to Aruba
We finally picked a Florist

We still need:

Limo
Invites
Bridal Party Gifts
Parent Gifts
Engagement Photo Shoot
Favors
Brides Accessories

My dress hasen't come in yet. How about you ladies... has your dresses come in yet?

My dress hasn't come in, and they don't even have a confirmed shipping date yet. I'm very nervous.

My dress hasn't come in either.
They said it would probably come in July. I am majorly stressing about this wedding now. I still need to order the invitations. We are in the process of looking at wedding rings. We still need bridal party and parent gifts, favors, flower girl dresses. And like the rest of you, I am also trying to get in shape and get rid of the 'batwings'. Speaking of which, I will be leaving to go to the gym shortly.

Re: October brides, how is it going?

I finally registered this weekend!!!

It was so much fun!! We aren't done yet though because we could only hang for about 2 hours... still have to pick out our china and dinnerware and flatware... and lots more!!! We only made it through the 'beyond' part of BBB, not the Bed OR the Bath!!

My gown hasn't come in yet either and they also told me July.

I just added my last BM and put their dress order in!!! Woohoo!!

LOL!!!

I was suppsoed to finsh registering & orde rinvites this week, but I haven't yet. We will try & do that later today when FH comes over.

I saw one of my bridesmaid's & showed her the dress pick & her aunt measured her.
So, I can order her dress, I just need my MOH to cooperate.

The 16 year old was great. She was all prepared w/ questions about what kind of shoes, purse, hairstyle, jewelery, I wanted her to wear. SHe showed me black strapy heels she had, and aske dif that kinda of style ina dyeable wuold work, & it was perfect! She's too cute.
I just found out she's moving even further away though this sumer.
(from central NJ, to MA) so I will pick up her dress or have it shipped to my mom, since I won't know what addres to ship it to for her, when I plce the order.

Re: October brides, how is it going?

Well our STD's went out. So far we haven't heard much about them. I haven't heard a thing about my dress yet. Should I call and ask about it?

laudipop Posted: May 17, 2004 11:15 AM

Re: October brides, how is it going?

BCTM33, no one ever said much about our STDs, either. And they're so cute! Oh, well.

When I called and asked about my dress, whether they had a confirmed shipping date, they said no. And they still didn't even get me a swatch of it! I'm really nervous. So you should call, just to nudge them.

Re: October brides, how is it going?

Thanks Laudipop! I was getting a little worried about that!

Xelindrya Posted: May 17, 2004 05:05 PM

Re: October brides, how is it going?

I sent out my STDs and only those who were motivated enough to check out my website replied. *shrug*

Don't know what I expected. Need to go check the post box see if any were returned non-deliverable.

Re: October brides, how is it going?

I know I'm no longer an October bride, but if I thought I was behind before, I've got 2 weeks to replan an entire wedding! There must be something wrong with me!

Re: October brides, how is it going?

Stupid question.....

But has anyone seen their florist?
Touched base with their Hair & Makeup?

I booked my florist back last Aug. Way too early to see him on much. Should I make an appt to refresh with him?

Hair & Makeup booked in February. Haven't heard a peep from them. Should I reach out to them in anyway?

KelOct04 Posted: May 20, 2004 11:58 AM

Re: October brides, how is it going?

I keep thinking the same thing about the hair and makeup. I booked him so long ago and I nervous that he has made other plans. I am going to call today just to check in.
Good idea..
