Official 30+ Brides (previously 40+ thread)

Original post by Future Mrs H

Thread views: 71,981

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.

Any luck with the invites? I didn't want to spend alot either, since like you said, they go in the garbage! i ordered mine from Carlson Craft. As you may remember, my grandfather owns a catering hall in Queens ( fingers crossed he sells soon) so we were able to get 40% off.
Do you have any pics of what you like? Maybe we can help.



What catering hall does he own? i am only asking because mine is in Queens and I want to make sure its not mine. If you dont want to post it you can FM me.

I did so much looking between last nite and all day today and I sent away for other samples. The invites that we originally decided on are in my album. Its the 3rd one under 'invites I am thinking of'. i did find the same ones at the American Wedding so I asked for a sample so I cand see how the paper quality is

Cee, call Minute Man Press in Mass Park. He has so many books. Ask them if they carry the ones you want. It couldn't hurt. Don't stress, we will help you.

I tried Rexcraft- they didnt have them. When I tell you I checked every online invite site- i did. i did send away for other samples and hopefully they will come soon and we can make a decision soon.

I would still call Minute Man Press in Mass Park. They are real easy to work with. Ask them for their hours and go through their books.

Re: Official 30+ Brides (previously 40+ thread)

I went to try on some more dresses today..found one I really liked (didn't that it's the one feeling though)...anyway the woman tells me it's acutally a Fall 2007 style and she is not sure they still make it....

I'm gonna try Lillette's when I am off from work in a few weeks

If they didnt make it anymore why would they still have the sample?
If you feel its not 'the one' I wouldnt rush into it anyway. Did you have fun though?

RK Bridal to try on, but I have not rule out having it made. I still want two dresses and I don't want to spend a lot. If I find a great evening gown in White then all bets are off.
