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.

Well I also have an A and B list, so if I put my response date too early, I am afraid of not being able to send more out in time...I am confused!!!

Hi date twins Did you girls order your invites yet? I finally found ours yesterday, and plan on ordering them later this week. I was planning on sending them out around June 10th, with a response date of July 20th.
And, I think I found shoes..but haven't bought them yet.
Have you gone for your 1st fitting yet?

HI AUGUST GIRLS!!! I jsut wanted to say that I am at my FOUR MONTH MARK TODAY!! sooooooo scary I feel liks I have so much to do!

Question for ItsLaurie and any other aug bride really...but what is your invitation timing? I was plannign on sending them out min-end of May with a July response, but I dont knwo when!!! Any thoughts!!!

I am planning on mailing ours out at the end of May with a July 9th response date.

i picked July 9th because July 19th was exactly one month and that sounded too close so I deducted another 10 days and that seemed to make sense in my brain. I wish I had a better explanation! But that is it.

I love your centerpieces Catherine. . And as far as officiant goes, we really like ours and she's raved about on 2 other message boards. Let me know if you need info.

Re: Official August 2006 Thread. Come on in.

We are sending ours out the middle of June with a response date of July 19th. I hope thats not too close. We don't have a B list but we are hoping we get a lot of Nos because we have wayyyyyy too many people on our list. I should have though of the B list before I ordered the invites!

I would love to see pics of what you ended up deciding! As for the neverending list of things to be done ... I have a feeling you are right. We will all be happily married women still alking about what we still haven't finished for the wedding.

Anyway, here's a big to my August girls!

I will have to show you what I will be doing once I make an appointment for it.

I am sending my invites June 25th and RSVP date of July 26th. I don't have a B List though.

I still haven't gotten shoes, but I haven't been able to concentrate 100% on wedding stuff this month. Next week I will start dealing with the wedding details again.

Re: Official August 2006 Thread. Come on in.

Thanks ladies! I am going to order the invites May 1st -- it will take two weeks to get here from India and then I figur another two weeks to get them back from the calligrapher, so that should get them back in time for me to mail out.

The latest I would send invites in second week in June. You want ppl to get the invites atleast a month before the RSVP Date.

I am sending mine out end of May because my RSVP date is 6 weeks before (7/10/06), this is early.
