I figured we could start an official august thread and see what are we up to. I also want to know if I have a date twin. me, nothing yet because I don't have money yet but most likely will start booking stuff hopefully at the end of this year, that's is if I find a job before then.
So post away.
I'm tania and my husband is Will. we are renewing our vows and having the wedding we never had since we got married on city hall and had no money then. I guess things never change.

Went shopping with my mother for mother of the bride dresses this weekend. I didn't realize that it takes 3 months to come in....like a bridesmaid dress. She looked gorgous though. Today I am focusing on shoes and undergarments. If anyone has gotten either so far I would love to hear from where. Ordered my invites this weekend!!! I love them.

Way to go SIBride06. I can't wait to be done with all the major vendors. Still have florists, limos, tuxedos, and invitations. Invites and Florists are next week's tasks.
Is it the August 26th yet? I can't wait for the planning part to be over (no offense to brides who enjoy this part), I might change my tune though once the date gets closer and I still need to get stuff done.

SIbride06, can you believe all the little things that go into ordering invites? By the time you are done it is so expensive. Did you decide if you are going to use a calligrapher to address your envelopes or have it done by computer? We haven't gotten to that part yet.

you save a lot of money printing envelopes on the computer and it is just as nice! I think that is the way we will go.

We are just going to have the calligrapher do it. I have ZERO patience.

I think for the invites we are going the computer label route.. I dont want to spend the extra money for a Calligrapher.

Happy to say that we bought save the dates today after much back-and-forth! I have this week off, so I got a lot done, such as the tent and the music.
Edited to fix my awful spelling.

We are waiting for our save-the-dates (and all our other paper products) to come back from the printer.
just updated my album with the design of our placecards, and thank you cards.
