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.

I know Deb, I am just impatient, FH told me I need to relax b/c I am driving him nuts and I only sent them out a little over a week ago. He said if i wanted all the rsvps already, I should have only given them a week to respond. Men, what do they know.........

Well how is everyone today girls??

I had a very exciting weekend, had my hair trial and first fitting sat! Super excited, I will try to post pictures tonight. We got our first RSVP by hand yesterday. What does everyone still have left to do, I'm trying to make a list and I'm drawing a blank.

I had my shower Saturday and am just getting all detail stuff done. I did my seating chart months ago - I figure it won't be materially off because I kind of knew who would and wouldn't be attending. I have to finish my menus (they're taking forever) and all my little 'details'. I have SO MANY o/s RSVPs - it's very annoying.

Kitty, how was your shower???

btw, did you get my response to your FM from last week about your hair?

I simply MUST schedule my hair and makeup trials soon.

And our engagement shoot. d'oh!

I'm debating whether to get the makeup trial before the engagement shoot. ....I'm not sure if I want FH to see it because it might take away from the overall 'surprise' effect for him on the wedding day. what to do????

My shower was GREAT!!!!! It was ALL LEOPARD themed!! They did a GREAT job - BUT I CAN'T FIND MY $%*&^#&*$ CAMERA CABLE I wanted to post pics! Dean said he would pick me up a new one today so I'll post pics tonight.

I know what you mean about hte trials - originally I DID let Dean see them (but they weren't what I wound up with) now that I have 'THE ONE' I am NOT letting him see it - because like you said - it will lend to the WOW factor. Do yo uhave anyone in mind for hair/makeup?

I'm going to have to look for the FM - I don't remember!! I had sent Kami and FM once and she never got it and it wasn't in my 'sent' stuff either!

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

I got a few more rsvps today, still have a lot to go though.

This is what I have left to do (that I can think of off the top of my head)

-Alterations
-Take FH for tux (then he will take best man)
-Schedule final appts w/officiant, dj, fox hollow
-Wrap favors
-Programs
-Menus
-Seating Chart
-Place Cards
-Shoes
-Decide on day of jewelry

I am sure I left out half a dozen things

Laura, I guess the post office people were sleeping this weekend. I only got one RSVP back today (it was a good one ) but I thought I would come home to a ton after the weekend.

Aw, only one, you must have been disappointed. I keep thinking I am going to open the mailbox and have like 15-20, but I am pretty sure that wont happen. I will keep my fingers crossed that you have at least a few rsvps today

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

I got to the post office in the nick of time last night.

The lady (Flora at the Farmingdale P.O.) was VERY nice and offered to hand cancel all of my invites (I had asked if I could do it myself so as not to give them 'extra' work). I stayed and chatted with her while she stamped them and then she said they'd go out last night!!!
