Sure don't want to waste money buying too many. Geez. I think I'm going to pick a number and go with it. Anyone who doesn't get an OOT bag for waiting last minute - oh well!
I feel your pain! We have 47 booked right now, wedding is on July 20th. Our first booking was for a July 8th wedding and we had to reschedule because the plane/resort filled up and our wedding party hadn't booked yet. Now, there are about 5 more people who are telling us that they want to come but are waiting for the cheapest price possible. It might give me a stroke before all is said and done. I have to arrange dinner and ceremony seating for all the guests and the late-bookers are making this very difficult. On top of this, the restaurant I booked only accommodates up to 50 people and if everyone books we'll be at 52 which means we'll have to pay and rent a private restaurant (our dinner is semi-private right now). But who knows if they'll book....

I wanted him to look like my husband's lil twin lol... Luckily I'm OCD enough to write down everything, which explains this ridiculous Packing List I developed lol!

5 weeks and 2 days is my wedding date. 47 guests (incl FI and I) flying to Bali, Indonesia from all over the world! I'm psyched!!

 

Last minute things:

*photography info sheet

*compile playlist for iPod

*dance lessons

*book groomsmen fishing trip for FI

*write vows!

*buy sparklers and batik fans

 

Decided to forgo:

*favors

*programs

*out of town bags

*videographer

 

Saving money feels good!
