I hope so!!!

Actually we've been told that a lot of people are planning their long weekend around our wedding, and are making a little mini-vacation out of it (especially those from OOT).

We shall see...

I have a feeling B/C it's a holiday weekend more people will be coming than not. I have alot of OOT guests, who are attending B/C they have a 3 day weekend. I mailed my invites out last monday and so far I have 20 people who have RSVP'd that they are coming! So far 1 person has declined!

Re: OFFICIAL COLUMBUS DAY WEEKEND BRIDES THREAD

We have so many OOT guests and that is one reason we are getting married on a holiday weekend. I have a feeling that we will not have as many NO's as we think....

Invites going out today!!!!!

Re: OFFICIAL COLUMBUS DAY WEEKEND BRIDES THREAD

Let's see...

My invites went out on Saturday and people have been callling me to tell me they've arrived!!!

I have my first dress fitting this afternoon!!!!!

Had my first shower on 7/17 (it was awesome), and will be having my FMIL's shower on 8/20.

We're having a barbeque this weekend with our priest and our ceremony participants to go over everything.

We've had to make a TON of payments lately. UGH!

It's becoming very real... and I can't WAIT!

Re: OFFICIAL COLUMBUS DAY WEEKEND BRIDES THREAD

Hi everybody . . .

In response to the 'No's on a Holiday Weekend question -- I hope it means that we will get more OOTers who wouldn't otherwise not be able to come. (But I am disappointed that Columbus Day doesn't register as a holiday to many.)

In other news . . . 75 days!!!!!!

We are finally done with the invitations and sending them out tomorrow!!! Then we are off to a pre-wedding visit to the FILs. And hopefully doing a bunch of DIY projects there!

I'm pretty sure there will be a shower at the end of the month.

I can't believe how fast the summer is going!!!

Re: OFFICIAL COLUMBUS DAY WEEKEND BRIDES THREAD

Majority of Invites out 2 weeks ago (mostly b/c of OOT'rs) I have about 30 more to send out this week.
So far 24 RSVPS, 1 NO!!!

I think my shower is late Aug/early Sept.

Lots More to do...NO TIME!!!!

Still no veil, waiting for my dress to come in (I ordered it in Jan!)

Songlists, favors, Finalize ceremony details, etc...

Re: OFFICIAL COLUMBUS DAY WEEKEND BRIDES THREAD

Thanks!!

Im too much of a nervous nelly to have it the weekend before my wedding which was the only other date available. Plus I was surprised to see so many OOT's actually coming for my shower. That wouldnt have been possible if I did it so close to the wedding date.

Re: OFFICIAL COLUMBUS DAY WEEKEND BRIDES THREAD

Ok, I'm getting nervous about my RSVP's. We sent our invites out on 7/16, and people told us they mailed back the RSVP's the day after they got the invites. We haven't received any yet though. I hope the PO isn't losing them. If none come today I think I'm going to start freaking out. Granted, they had to go from Michigan to NY/Mass/IL, and then back to MI, but still....
