Re: OFFICIAL November 06 thread

Fellow Nov brides...I need to complain for a minute. Everything had been going so smoothly all this time. And then my invitation were delivered, and they were warped. Not only are they going back, but I had to pick all new invites.

Then I found out that my gown cannot be altered in the way we were promised it could--so on friday, I had to order a new gown!!! Now I am nervous about it coming in on time and what it will look like!

Today, I found out that the hotel for our out of towners has no more rooms on our date! We had initially only set aside 15 rooms, and now, we realize we need more--and we can't get more!

It will all get better, right?????

Oh you poor thing. It will in fact get better. I'm so sorry to hear about your dress and invites. Is there another hotel close by to the one you already blocked that you can get some rooms at.

We are here for you any time!

Heather...that all stinks...sorry this is happening to you!!!
I'm sure your new dress will be in on time and you will look great in it!
There are definitely some other hotels in that area...ask the people at Royalton for recommendations. I know you probably wanted everyone at the same hotel but there are others around.
Sorry about your invites - that is horrible they were a mess! Hope you got your $ back!!!

As for what I'm up to....
Glad to have my BM's dress purchased and hanging in all the BM's closets already. There is something to say for buying off the rack...so simple!
Have looked at 1 florist so far - didn't thrill me. Looking at 2 this weekend and I am really excited about both appts - have heard great things about both. I think it will be hard to choose between the 2.

Have an idea on what invite I want....will probably order late June.

Had Pre-Cana this weekend which was really great....FH and I both loved it and FH isn't even Catholic. It was interfaith pre-cana so it was good.

In the process of ordering favors which is a pain b/c what we want has been discontinued so it's just a matter of calling all over to see who still has some in stock.

That's all really. I'll feel much better once I actually book a florist.....
OH and booking Royal Brass this week for our ceremony music!

I have hair and makeup trials in mid-June. Have a wedding to go to so figured I might as well have that done when I have somewhere to go.

Where are all my November girls?

Just wanted to check in with everyone. Can you believe we've hit the 6 month mark?

This weekend FH and I booked our HM and our trolley. We have a large bridal party and decided the trolley was the best solution to keep us all together!

It's starting to become real now...especially since I requested my time off from work today for the wedding/HM and it was approved!

Hope all is well with you ladies!



I know what you mean! I can't quite believe May is almost over. It truly does go by so fast. We've pretty much done everything we need as far as the major vendors. We still have to book HM flights but we want to fly Southwest so we have to wait until they post their fares for November. I'm going to order my invitations next month and then...that'll pretty much be it until August. It'll be here before we know it!!!

We're staying at Wilderness Lodge. We booked through Disney online and are keeping our fingers crossed for an upgrade. Where are you staying? Are you renting a car while you're there? We're debating because we want to go to Universal and SeaWorld while we're there as well.

I was just going to bump this! I think everythings going good. I don't know what to do next. Everythings seems to be done that should be done for right now. I feel like because I do have a lot done that I'm starting to second guess everything from the BM's dresses to the CP's. I'm driving myself crazy! Where is everyone else in their planning?

Mine either...she's driving me nuts!!! She doesn't like how she looks in anything so she is putting it off. I finally went with her this past weekend but we had no luck!!! Hopefully I can get out to LI another weekend soon.

Hey ladies. I feel like I am so far behind, but with my work schedule I just can't find any time to get stuff done. I still have to get my BM's dresses. I think I am going to send the girls out on their own and let them pick something out, and then I will see it before they order it. I would be letting them pick what they want anyone (I could care less what they pick as long as they get the color I want and they all match and are happy with it). So I will probably do that.

I am going on Wednesday to meet with our priest! I am so excited.
