There seems to be quite a few of us that are getting married that first weekend of Nov, I thought we could have a thread just for us! Come on in ladies and lets see what you have been up to and what still needs to be done.

Thanks Amy... FH and I were only going to register at BBB but I guess we should pick another store as well... Is everyone registering for China? QUOTE]
We're not registering for China or good silver. My parents have it, and never used it. I don't think we will even have room for it all in our condo--it's not like we have a formal dining room with a China cabinet like my parents do. We decided to go with nicer every day stuff since that is what we will be using most often. And my MOH is head of advertising for KitchenAid so she giving us all KitchenAid stuff as gifts!

Just thought I'd share....here are pictures of my china, crystal, flatware and toasting glasses.
Jen- Our china looks very similar. The teacup is the most different. Good taste!

We registered for Fine China and an everyday set. I already have my sterling but we registered for everyday silverware. We are starting the Christmas at our house tradition this year so I need the China

so I don't know what to do about the China now... originally FH and I weren't going to get it b/c we thought we wouldn't use it... my parents also have some and never use it... maybe I could just register for really nice everyday stuff...

Janine -- you should do what you feel is best.
I feel its the one and only time you'll ever get it, because later in life you won't buy it for yourself.
In my family, good china is used when hosting all the major holidays, so it goes to good use. I also have my Mother's lenox set which is a different pattern.

I already know what Tim got me. When we were down in the Caribbean in April he bought me a pave diamond bracelet. I love it. I even have a picture of it so I can try and get coordinating jewelry for that day.
I'm probably getting him a really good telescope. It's so much harder to buy for the guys. They have it easy, they can always buy us jewelry!
Today I ordered what I think will be my necklace and earrings for the wedding from Home Shopping Network.
I also ordered a custom wax seal for our invitations.
On Tuesday we have an appointment to meet with Sir Oliver Limos.
And I have plans for July 8th to go to Miriam's Corsets in East Meadow, and Barron's at Tri-County for Veil & Headpiece.
Now if I could just stop procrastinating with wrapping the favors, I'll be in good shape!

pretty bracelet!!
Fh already knows what he is getting me and I have no idea what to get him (or how much to spend...) I know I have heard a lot of girls give nice watches... guys are hard to shop for... I feel like whenever its time for me to buy FH a gift for a birthday or anniversary I am always asking myself what to get him...
girls are soooo easy to shop for...

I ordered my favors early because I got the candleholders from LTD Commodities which are notorious for taking forever to ship or backorder issues. It was only $7.95 for the set of 5, so I ordered enough for every couple to get 1 (which ever size they want from the table). The candles I actually got on clearence from BBB for only $0.37. I'm using a silver chiffon bag which is only $0.79 each, and then the ribbon comes to about $0.50 a bow. So each favor totals out to be about $3.25 each.
Here's a picture, but I'm using the Yankee Candle in the burgundy color. I'm wrapping the silver chiffon bag over the cup part with the gathering facing down, and then tied with a burgundy chiffon ribbon/bow.
I have 120 to do, and I plan to have them done by September.
