May 2010 Brides!

Yeah...I finally found my date twin. I almost couldn't believe that I was the only one getting married this day.

wow some of you guys already got more than 10 guests!

 

so far, i only have 4 guests booked...ugh, i don't want any late minute bookings!

 

i am sending my invitations in January so hopefully, the bookings will roll in. i will need numbers for vendors by April so i'm keeping my fingers crossed that i won't become a Bridezilla and call everyone to book already! ha.

Hello date twin!

I just put the invites in the mail! When we finished them on the weekend, I started strumming my fingers trying to think of anything else that there is to do. I feel like I am missing something...

Hi Cara,

I saw you on the Palladium thread a while back, but I really don't think any resort is a bad pick.
I can't believe how many people you have booked already! I am hoping we will have an influx of deposits once the deposit date approaches, which is in a month.
As for the crappy Calgary weather... I am seriously falling asleep at my desk right now it is so gray and dreary outside. Thank god for this forum...

Crystal, we're getting married on the same day =)

We have 54 confirms and 40 others who "say" they are coming! Oh geez, I dont know where we are going to put all of these people, but i guess it will be a great party!

Wow! I can't believe you have that many people booked already-great job! I got all excited today because my TA e-mailed me the tally today, and we are at 10 + bride and groom...until I saw your post

Hi date twin!

I too love this date 5.15.10! This is our wedding date as well. I too am frustrated that out of about 40 people who said they plan to go only my maid of honor has set up her reservation.

I am back May brides. I took a few months break from wedding planning and now I wish I hadn't. I am having such a big problem with making a decision on colors which is really putting a hamper on the rest of my planning. I can not make up my mind between fuchsia w/ ? color combo or turquoise/aqua and tan/khaki combo.

Completed: (I have sooo much to do still!!)

Reserved date and location
Purchased wedding dress
Sent out STDs
Set up website
Started table/decor ideas with different color combos
DIY invitations designed, but waiting until I decide on colors to finish them!

I was wanting to get our invitations out at the end of Oct/ beginning of Nov. but that obviously isn't going to happen since I still haven't picked the colors. I really want to get them out before the holidays though cause I am worried that people will be too busy and not have the extra money and get their invite and say they can't afford it because of xmas, etc. Although, I did send out the STD message in a bottle back in May.

When are you requesting your guests to RSVP by? I wish I could know NOW : ) so that I could start on the OOT bags and every other little thing. Ok, enough from me for now.

So excited and appreciative to share with all you May brides!

BeachBride- Have you thought about doing an invite that maybe doesn't require a color pick? Like a picture or something? I don't know, maybe this only works for STD's. Just a thought so you can try to get something out if you are stressed.
