Finally, my New Year’s resolution, one of my many, is to finish my review for you all. This site was wonderful when I was planning. It really made things very easy for me (although, naturally, I did have the occasional bridal meltdown!).
REHEARSAL DINNER:
Rehearsal Dinner Invitations – French Blue Online A+
Unfortunately, I no longer have a picture of the invitations I got for the RD but I absolutely loved the. The price was right – I think I paid about $50 for 20 invitations. And, Gary at French Blue was wonderful to work with. He got a proof back to me almost immediately and returned all my e-mails promptly. I got the invites within the week, after I approved the proof. They have a great selection of really cute invites, announcements, etc. on this site.

Rehearsal Dinner dress – Overstock A-
This was something I had a difficult time with because of the season. I wanted a classic white dress and had a lot of trouble finding one in September. I ended up with a silk ivory dress by Armani, originally priced at over $1000, for $300. Unfortunately, they did not have my size, so being the freak I am, I ordered the size 10 (I wear a 2) and had it altered to fit me. My only shock was that the dress was completely backless. Honestly, I loved it, but for those women seeing the photo of the front of this dress on the website, most would assume it is fairly conservative. Actually it was quite a sexy dress! I doubt I’ll ever wear it again, but hey, ya never know!
Overstock gets a good grade for the awesome price but I was a little thrown but the false, rather, lack of advertisement.

Fisherman’s’ Catch in Point Lookout A+
DH and I originally picked this restaurant because we enjoy fishing together and this is a place we’ve gone for special dinners. It’s tucked away in Point Lookout and is right on the water. I was reluctant at one point because the private room they have does not overlook the water because it is in the front of the restaurant. However, since my ILs were hosting, they took it upon themselves to make sure the room looked great. It was very cozy and had a nice fireplace. Since the RD was about a week before Halloween, they decorated with pumpkin centerpieces filled with flowers. The room looked great and the food and service were amazing. Everyone raved about it and a lot of our guests, who had never been there, are now frequent customers.
