OCTOBER ladies, come on in! This thread is for us!!!!!!

Original post by JXNOscar

Welcome to the official October thread.

This is where the '6 month girls' can chat about our weddings, how BUSY we will be this summer (summer? what summer?) and make sure we are all on track.

Have many October brides had their shower already???
Just wondering if I need to start getting dressed up on the weekends.
I have a feeling mine MIGHT be around the first week in August because it is my brothers b-day and my mom asked if we should do a brunch for him. So I said,,,,oh you mean for my shower and she shot me a look.



We're going out for my mom's bday 'brunch' on July 9th...for some reason no one could do dinner that day and 12:30 worked for everyone

I'm buying a new outfit for it!!

Wow, there have been a lot of posts on this thread today!

Ok, I know my shower is going to be pretty late. My cousin (MOH) hasnt even called my mom about the shower yet and I dont mind b/c we are still trying to tackle the issue of where we are going to live.
We are meeting with my parents this weekend b/c we might move in with them for now and have the entire downstairs and then when we have kids, they would go downstairs and we would go upstairs. So, FH will sell his house in Rocky Point and we will rent the top floor of my house b/c my brother will still live on the first floor. Its a long complicated story and I dont want to bore everyone with my drama filled life
As for bach. party, I am doing something different, I am taking my MOH and my best friend for massages and doing dinner. I am not a big fan of bach parties since everyone of them i have been to have resulted in disaster!
Congrats to all the ladies who are in the middle of buying homes. I give you all a lot of credit planning weddings and buying houses at the same time



Thanks!! I think I should be committed for doing both at the same time though

I hope everything works out with your living situation!

It codt like $60 including shipping..

I had it say:

IN LOVING MEMORY
'pic'
SALVATORE #####

1947-1991

Dad,
Although we can’t see you
We know you are here
Smiling down
Watching over us
As we say “I Do”
Forever in our hearts
Forever in our lives
And so we say our vows
In loving memory of you




That is beautiful. My eyes just filled.

I am not really getting my parents gifts.. I am going to give them their first grandchild in two yrs.. that is there gift....

Besides they know how much we are spending, so they don't expect anything...

I did get them hankerchief's to carry with them that day they come with a cute little poem...

Even though we are paying for the wedding ourselves we will probably get them a little something.
But I cant even think about it until we decide on the GM's gift. We are stuck and have no clue what to get the guys. They seem to have everything.

we had that same problem. We ended up getting my cousin a poker set that has his name and the date of the wedding on it. On eof the other guys a humidor, the rest of them got regulation Rawling Baseball bats that have Groomsman, their names and the date burned into them. THe BM get a bat and a beer stein. His bat says MOST VALUEBLE BESTMAN, his name and the date..

As of now we are thinking wallets with gift certificates to their favorite restaurant. If they dont like it, at least I know their wives will happy they dont have to cook.
My FI looked at the bats as well, but 3 of the 6 are not into sports at all (yes, odd for men, I know)
But I think we are doing the junior bat and ball for the RB. He is only 4 so he can have something to remember our wedding.
