This thread was orignally started for the 40+ Brides but would love to invite all 30+ brides to join.
I love talking to all the brides out there but I would like to hear what us 'Older Brides' are doing to plan their wedding. I am finding that I am doing things a little different and would like to see what others are doing.
My name is Celia and 46 y/o bride.

Congrats on the candle holder..I tried 2 Walmarts trying to get the clearance bridal stuff that someone mentioned on one of the boards...found nothing except so stickers for my scrapbook..so that was good
That's my summer project...love scrapping! That and my pro album!!

I didnt get anything wedding related at the outlets. Needed shorts for the summer, FH needed sneakers, needed a new griddle and toaster for LI house and got a great deal on Bali's Bra's!! Stuff like that.
Yes I am going to make my unity candle. This is one of the few DIY's that I know I can do.

It's totally up to you At most weddings I have been to there has been one. We really wanted one because to us it's a memento. We are going to read it together on our first anniversary this year (sorry it that sounds cheesy !!).

I think that's great. How about a big book that people can sign and you can really read. Sometime people writing are really bad.

I'm not sure if I can poke my head in here. I was 34 when I got married - I'm not sure if that qualifies me.
I think a guest book is one of those things that may not seem necessary, but actually turns out to be a nice memento. I didn't spend a lot on mine but it is satin and checker designed and is in my china cabinet. I think the pen was more.
GL with every body's wedding planning.

That's a great bargain!! Party City is always good for those-I bought my FG basket there for $5!

I love to help other brides still. I received so much help from this board while planning that I just want to 'pay it forward'

Re: Official 30+ Brides (previously 40+ thread)
Hi girls: Sorry I haven't been on here in a while. I'm heading full swing into wedding planning mode - less than 5 months to go and still so much to do!
Tomorrow I am going to see the second proof of our invitations (hopefully this one is correct) and then FH and I are going to see 5 houses before heading out to a friends birthday party. Trying to find time to buy a home, plan a wedding AND work a crazy job with lots of hours is beginning to stress me out!
FH is going to the US Open on Sunday so the plan is to go shopping with my mom for her dress (she hasn't even started looking yet)!
I know the next 5 months are going to fly by!
How is everyone else's planning going?
