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.

Help!

My invites are being delivered today, and I don't know where to bring them to get printed. (Calligraphy is totally out of the question at this point... )

I have about 220.- outer envelopes only.

I was quoted $2 a piece by a vendor. This seems crazy to me...

Anyone know someplace that is quick and not so expensive??

TIA!!

Why not print them yourself on your computer? Otherwise try www.afineletter.com

I am afraid they will not come good... AMybe I will try one out and see how it looks.

Definitely give it a try doing it on the computer, my cousin did that for me, so much cheaper, especially since you have so many envelopes.

I have about 20 invites that I need to get more information for. I printed my addresses on my own on the computer and I love how they look.

I'm so relieved to hear that! It also gives me hope since I finally received my invitation on Monday, now we're just waiting for fh to get his. He says if he doesn't get it soon he's going to look into baseball tickets

OOOOO damn I forgot about the bathroom basket thing. I think I just may do a small one for my bathroom, it just seems like so much crap to remember to take after the recep. is over with.

Ok here might be a checklist see if I am missing anything::

cake topper
Card holder Box
any extra favors (haha yeah right)
cake cutter
toasting flutes
table cameras
bathroom basket(or NO????)
our eng pic for people 2 sign
candle holders for each table(should I even bother??????)

ANything else??

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

I have to say, I wasn't going to do a BM basket, but I went to a wedding recently and there wasn't one and I DEFINITELY missed it - I was like 'Dam! I need hairspray and a Q-Tip!!' So then I decided I was definitely going to do one!

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

I'm glad everyone is reposting what they've got less to do - I was only feeling 180% overwhelmed but after all of the reminders I'm at 210%

Is anyone having a luncheon for their bridesmaids? I was thinking of maybe doing a vineyard tour instead - has anyone done one?
