*~*~*~Official August 08 Thread*~*~*~*

Original post by Mrs.D08

I don't think there is one, but this is dedicated to all the August brides. It's a place to talk about our deadlines, and everything about our wedding.

Uggh I'm not doing well at all... i'm 25 under my min, i'm not even home to do anything and calling my mom up whenever I think of something that needs to be done, I still have to do seating after I figure out our official guest list... and I'm studying for the most important test of my life on Tuesday, my pharmacy licensure exam (NAPLEX) and freaking out about it!

I won't be back in NY till Saturday August 2nd, and then i'll have 50 million things to do before the wedding...


I'm sorry you're having a tough time! Good luck on your test! I'm sure you'll do great! You'll get it all done. It's great that your mom is helping, maybe some of your bms will be able to help too.

Well, I got my 2nd fitting this week and will have my third August 19th. and my dress should be pressed and ready by August 20th.So that should be fine. (The shop is closing to go on vacation for 2 weeks so, it has to be fine!)

We just did our DIY programs last night and we are about 30 short. So we have to do some more...

I started cutting our placecards and I have to do the seating chart.

I think I am going to make my hotel guests chocolates, it sounds easy enough (famous last words).

Plus I have to meet with all of my vendors....Fun, fun, fun!

Sounds like you're on a similar timeline as me! I have my second fitting this afternoon. Working on programs tonight and placecards early next week. I was thinking about making chocolate covered pretzels for my oot boxes but I think it will be tricky with the melting because it's so hot. I don't want to put them in the fridge or the pretzels will get soggy. So I think I've decided not to do that lol.

Don't worry in a couple of weeks I will be feeling the same way. And hey that is what sisters are for. I think I have freaked out on my sis at least a 1/2 dozen times in the last two months. Try not to stress it too too much...Just focus on the fact that a week from today you will be marrying your sweetheart!

I went to AC Moore and got this bottle that you put the chocolate in and stick in the microwave. So I bought the freezing trays and I will do it that way. I love new gadgets! CHocolate covered pretzels can be a huge pain, although very delicious!

Re: *~*~*~Official August 08 Thread*~*~*~*

Wow, 18 days to go!

My mom, grandma, MOH and 2 BMs are done with fittings and took their dresses home. not sure about the other 2 BMs. I still have one more fitting on the 11th once I'm back in NY and I'm hoping my dress still fits!

Everything we ordered and were waiting to arrive by mail is in -- the wooden guestbook I'll be decorating, our yarmulkes, our custom cocktail napkins (love them!!!!!), and our ketubah finally arrived today from the framer! Everything came in earlier than I expected.

Table arrangements are done, but there are a few odds & ends I still need to do (the guestbook, revise our program and send it to the printer, finish filling the OOT baskets, get the table numbers printed and buy frames, bridal party gifts, etc.

I think I decided on a RD dress (bought 2 this weekend) but still trying to figure out shoes.

Also, 2 of our friends got engaged Sat (planning a probably june 09 wedding) and we have a wedding to attend this Sat! Guess wedding fever is finally hitting
