Karina U must be bored!!

I'm not bored, I'm cleaning out my work PC and thought this might help people LES!!!!!!

Prepare tip envelopes

i like the end..
decide which gifts to return

You should definitely do one, you could at least for your bridal shower and let that carry over into your wedding. Some people have a problem giving money, you can always put the registry in the invites that you think will only give you gifts.

I started a registry for the engagement and am just rolling it over from that to the rest of the events ( bridal shower and wedding)

oh man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought Iwas doing good! Iwas excited that my list was dwindling down!!!!!!!

I AM ONLY GETTING MARRIED ONCE!!!!
HERE ME NOW GIRLS!

thanks for the list. it gave me a good laugh!
