2 pounds a week sounds much better... Afraid to ask, but how many more WEEKS do we all have?

I'd be happy at this point to lose 10 lol. Seeing that there are only 20 weeks left that's it I'm motivated, i refuse to be a chunky bride!!
I'm starting fresh on Monday and I don't care what I have to do I'm getting my *** to the gym!!

haven't done mine yet but my bff got married over the weekend and she did them. no idea where she got the bags but she went to BJs for stuff.

she had a water bottle with a label on it (personalized label), m&ms, potatoe chips, advil, york peppermint patties, I think some mints, famous amos cookies, tissues, matches, I think that's it.

I'll be going to costco and probably doing water bottle with label, m&ms, north fork chips (the li chips!), famous amos cookies or chips ahoy, a welcome itinerary made on etsy that says things to do on li and welcome etc. advil, and probably get bags made from foryourparty.com got matches from there & they look so awesome. I'd love to throw in a NY mug but that depends on $$$ & how many guests.

Agreed! Balls to the wall, no excuses! My motto for today!

I won't know until Friday, I will share my quote once I get it. My budget is $2500, though I already know my mother will go over it if needed

My flowers are $3,800. That includes 20 centerpieces, 9 bridesmaid bouquets, bridal bouquet, 13 boutennaires for party/readers/dads, 6 corsages for readers/moms/gmas, flowers for cake, flowers for church pews

I'm home sick today and tomorrow and I'm SO BORED! In the past hour I have ordered two of the gifts for my BMs, 2 of the gifts of me and FH's moms, my earrings, cake topper and hand-made slippers for the morning of...

I texted FH and he told me I can't stay home anymore because it costs me too much money I hate using my sick days being home doing nothing! At least I'm catching up on all my shows

2 questions---
- what are you ladies doing for favors?
-where are you having your rehearsal dinner?

Official March 2014 Brides - aka Group Therapy! | Page 2 - Long Island Weddings

I have decided not to do favors
I think I'm going to have my rehearsal dinner at Matteo's in Bellmore

Official March 2014 Brides - aka Group Therapy! | Page 2 - Long Island Weddings

Love Matteo's!

We are likely doing our rehearsal @ Giardinos in Douglaston Little Neck Area-
Favors: We are having a step and repeat with photos, so we are giving everyone frames WITH MAYBE some truffles attatched, not sure yet
And a To-Go station when people leave
