Calling all May 2008 Brides

I feel the same way. It is 3 months from today and I feel like I should be stressing big time, but I'm not. I have a lot of small details to take care of, but nothing major. Today I sent out my travel info brochures to the confirmed guests and went to the notary to get the stuff for our marriage license.

Checking in. I have so much work to do and I am starting to get stressed.

Ok, I can check a few more items off the list!

• FI's wedding band arrived yesterday (Beautiful!)
• Ordered raffia fans, travel mugs and travel candles (all to arrive this week)
• Paid group airfare and resort payments (We're all paid up and ready to go! 38 strong so far!)
• Mailed birth certificates for wedding license
• Deposit for reception at Evitas Restaurant mailed

Still to do:

• INVITATIONS!! (working with Prim & Pixie!)
• Groom attire
• BM & GM attire
• So much more...

I am doing a site visit to EDR on Friday March 7th. please let me know what you would like pictures of, what questions you want answered, or anything else you can think of.

Yay! Another wedding date twin!

IrieBride08 - where did you get your travel candles and travel mugs? I'm trying to find something good and cheap (oxymoron?)

I got the travel candles from beau-coup and the travel mugs from discountmugs. I ordered 48 and paid $230 with free shipping. I can't wait to see them! (I decided to get the steel mug with the black type and used clip art from the site to make things easy.) They responded with a proof the same day I ordered!

Are you putting 1 candle per bag? Are you making your own stickers for them? What size?
