December 2008 brides

Thanks for the nice thoughts.

Things are looking up a bit. My manager really appreciates my work and said today that it's looking very good about my job changing somewhat (I'm hoping oging up a level) and becoming permanent sooner rather than later. So that's great.

My friend's having an open house for her father on Saturday so FI and I will come back early from the cottage trip we'd planned to be there for her.

I think she's doing a bit better this week. It's got to be so sad though

So are you feeling better? Are you still all itchy?

Hope the BD session goes well. It's so exciting. Have a great vacation too. Worry about all the wedding stuff when you get back!

Hooray for Dec '08 brides!!!

 

I am getting married Dec. 7th, 2008 at Dreams Tulum.

 

We're date twins!

 

I JUST found this thread...and glad I did! I was beginning to think I was the ONLY one getting married in December!

 

I think I've pretty much got all the major things sorted out (photog booked, DJ, invites sent out, dress ordered...)...

Just smaller details need to be sorted out and I've been procrastinating on e-mailing my resort's WC about those...:-)

 

But then again, we're not having a wedding party, so lots less to do:-)

And we're not doing OOT bags...we're just doing favours at the reception and pashminas for the girls at our welcome dinner and golf visers for the guys (they're all going golfing the day before our wedding...)

 

Just anxiously awaiting the RSVPs to come in!:-)

Welcome to our quiet little thread!!!

I hear you on waiting for the RSVPs... I find it quite nerve-wracking. I was over at the Future In-laws' place last week and FI's brother is getting married in October and FSIL said that they'd received 28 RSVPS back already. Their invites went out less than 2 weeks ago, so it was very ltitle time. Anyway, I was like "really? That's awesome!" and she said, "what about you?" Well, that was embarassing, because so far only both of our parents have replied I felt like crap

But ours is a DW and theirs is a huge one in town, so I know that we may have only 8-12 people at ours and we only sent out about 19 invitations total. Whereas they sent out about 200.

Even so, made me feel pathetic

Hi - first off Helen...i'm so sorry.....how frustrating that must be for you. At least they know what is going on and can treat it.

Niels and Kevsgirl, I am in the same predicament as most others here. We sent out invites out in early August with an rsvp due date of 9/1..so far we've gotten about 28 of the 75 rsvp's back. Now, i will say that I know that the Canadian one's (at least Eastern Ontario ) are going to be super-late because....are you ready for this - it took 13 DAYS to get them delivered to Ottawa. Canadian Postal service is so ridiculous sometimes. But, with that being said, even our groomsmen and bridesmaids haven't sent there's in on time. Do you think because it's a DW people say "oh, they already know we are coming, we used their travel agent, and told them when we booked"?

I got my shoes this week - flip flops (white, except I was looking for Ivory) and wedding shoes from Zappo's. If you go to zappo's and search by "theme" Wedding....they will all come up. Love Zappo;s - free shipping to me and free returns..so I bougt 3 pair and chose the most comfortable of the 3 (usually I choose the best looking, so going comfortable was tough), but I really don't want to have sore feet on my wedding night.

Also, we chose our first song (Save the Last Dance for Me by Michael Buble) and started dance lessons this week - fun and a good work out.

Hope everyone is enjoying their long weekend.

Thanks for the welcome!

 

I know for us the people we KNOW are coming have already RSVP'd...but there's a whole whack of "we-have-no-idea"-type people:-) So, I keep checking our wedding website (where people are RSVPing through) to see if any of these people have responded...and they haven't:-(

It's frustrating -- b/c I want to start booking our golf day, ordering the favours etc so I can check those off the ol' to-do list...but can't:-)

 

As for the in-laws' wedding...YOURS is a DW -- it will be WAAAAAY more fun!:-)

Here's a question for you ladies!

(I'm thinking of posting this in the "etiquette" section as well, but thought I'd start with you gals...)

So, I'm not sure what the etiquette is for whether to give vendors dinner or not...especially when some are only staying for one-to-three hours...

So, for example, we've hired our photographer for three hours...He'll be leaving by the time dinner starts...Do we invite him to stay...?

What about the guitarist who's playing just for our ceremony? (so 45 min. set)...? Maybe just tip him...?

Our DJ is staying for four hours, beginning at dinner...do we serve him dinner while he's working...?

So confused -- please help!:-)
