May 2010 Brides!

love the list idea! not sure how i missed that earlier today! a genius idea to have a master packing list. i will definitely reference that when i am ready to pack!

Um, Shannon, I must have this beer pong table!! LOVE it!

Your list seems pretty damn complete! I think I'd add some Benadryl, just to be safe, & a tube of hydrocortisone cream (1%, over the counter. It's anti-itch if you get bug bites or a good anti-inflammatory for a hormonally-induced large pimple)

Here's a few other things I thought of:

shout wipes or a tide stain remover stick

nail polish remover

any special make-up

pens

double-sided tape for a quick hem if you need one

And I found a packing list someone on here had posted a while ago. Here it is in an excel file.

Amy, how did your hair trial go?

And DianeP, that's great your dress fits & you had your (hopefully) last fitting!

Grrr...people are starting to drive me crazy. The wedding is in a little more than a month and I'm still tracking people down for RSVPs. Some people haven't answered, some people said yes and are now backing out, and then other people are popping out of the woodwork and saying their coming all of a sudden. My FI's aunt invited her friend (or the friend invited herself, still not clear) without telling us. The woman already bought her ticket and everything. Now I find out that two more people are coming and have bought tickets although there was no mention of them coming before (not even we might come) and they never responded to the RSVP. Sheesh! Managing the guest list has by far been the most stressful aspect of planning this wedding. Sorry. Just need to vent.

I get you, Meli!

What I did was to put a note in our invites that said something like "please RSVP to ensure a dinner plate for you and your guests" if we don't hear from anyone then it is their loss. Simple like that. My godmother is bringing 4 people that we do not know but we made it clear that they had to pay if they wanted to come so she is paying for them. I got really irritated because i wanted MY wedding to be only for family/friends. Oh well, they can go to the ceremony/cocktail hour but not reception.

Meli - It's definitely rough. People are rude when it comes to RSVPs. I think we have all learned a VALUABLE lesson here and will NEVER be late on an RSVP ever again ;-) I hope things work out.

AMy - HAIR?? Let's see some pictures, I am dying over here =)

Oh and yeah, I leave a week from today...can you say freaking out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
