Nov 08 brides

My dress is in!!!! OMG!!! And I am eating CHEETOS right now!!! What is my problem?!?!!?!!

 

How is time flying by so quickly?!?! I expected to be super-skinny by the time my dress got here!!

 

How are all of you guys holding up??

 

I'm off to catch up on this thread...

Okay i was looking at my wedding to do list and figured i'd post an updated what's left for me to do:

 

- send in Wedding Planning Guide to wc that has menu choices and other reception/ceremony choices

- purchase undergarments for dress

- decide on flowers and wedding cake

- make ceremony/reception playlists and burn songs on CDs

- insure engagement ring (uh oh never did that)

- finalize welcome dinner arrangements

- labels for pashminas and tie them up with ribbon (i'm having my sis do that this weekend for me...what a great MOH)

- get makeup done at Laura Mercier

- get dress fitted

- get wedding bands (being made as we speak just have to pick them up and pay)

- print menus

- print programs

- put together oots bags

- make welcome booklets

- get paperwork translated

- put placecards in photo album favors (my sis is supposed to do that for me this weekend too!)

 

think that's it. I keep putting off the welcome booklets. maybe on monday after my dress fitting and teeth whitening I'll start on the welcome booklets.

Here is my shrinking to do list.

-Buy pants for Larry and BM

-Finish the bathbombs we started forever ago

-Finish the soaps

-Print off programs (waiting to know if there are going to be any GM or not)

-Finish the welcome booklets (Waiting for final guest list first before I can print off the last few pages)

-Get my BD pics back and order a book for Larry's gift.

-Figure out my something OLD from both my Grandma and my Nanny. (Now I am getting a starfish bouquet pin as my something borrowed!)

 

I would also like to get a new snorkle mask that is fitted to me before we go, but I'll see. I also want a new camera. Not too much left, and I might be able to get some done later today if I go over to my Mom's without the children. Larry should be home soon.

I'm not sure if i'm doing the something old, borrowed, blue, new thing. I'll have a something borrowed (Alyssas starfish bouquet jewel) and of course i'll have new stuff. I can get something blue no problem, but i don't really have any good ideas for something old.

OMG the to do lists are getting so small!!

 

Here's mine:

- find something old

- print wedding day timeline

- finalize welcome brochure and mail

- find MOH earrings

- buy BM present

- trial pack to see if we need another bag

- get ring redipped

- get updated apprasial for new ring and send to insurance company

- download songs and burn to cd

- update seating chart with last minute people

Yep - I put a dot on each tooth in the tray and wear them overnight. I also bought this stuff called MI Paste. It is a prescription strength flouride to help your teeth not be so sensitive. I use this before and after the bleach (or anytime my teeth get sensitive).

Girl - you can bang my head too! I ate some cheeto's with my sandwich for lunch too! and my dress fitting is SUNDAY!!

UGH!

I was just telling someone that I need to quit adding more to my things I want for the wedding! I need to be done!

My list is:
Finish decorating blumeboxes and decide if I want more flowers
get undergarments
get son's pants
get make up
quit eating cheetos
get final count on RSVP's - due date is Sept 22nd - to date we have only recv'd 8 - HA!
download music
see how much sand we need to take for sand ceremony
get new sombrero for ring holder - or see if current one will work.
get hair products
get a hair trial done and see what I need to do my own hair
quit eating cheetos
decide what clothes I'm really going to take
find a dress for Rehearsal Dinner
Decide if we are going to give parents presents
get FI's wedding gift (I'm not going to say what it is cause he might read this)
Pay for limo to and from airport
quit eating cheetos

decide who is taking what to Mexico
Buy a bigger suitcase
Plan menu for AHR
Check on linens for AHR
Buy stuff for AHR - UGH
PICK A WEDDING CAKE for AHR! - YIKES - I forgot about this one!

I'm sure there is more, I just can't think right now.

OH MY FREAKIN GOSH.........you have 83 people booked to go to Mexico

How are things going Lisa? How's fis dad?

Hope everyone has a good weekend. I may be on occassionally or just my late night BDW-ing since I have to work. I am really hoping that Larry doesn't have to work tomorrow since we don't have a babysitter and I don't know what we will do. Sun hopefully Larry's Mom can watch the kids if we need her too. My Mom leaves for a cruise tomorrow morning. She is going on an Alaskin cruise with 2 of her sisters and one of their husbands.

My 17 year old sister got her upper lip pierced yesterday and my parents are not impressed about it. Not sure how she managed it since she needed emla cream to get her ears pierced about 3 years ago and she was still scared and crying!!!

I am working on printing our welcome brochures right now. I think they look good but I may need a heavier paper. Got two more RSVPs so that leaves 5 people overdue. Dont really understand what is so hard especially since there were STDs in January and all. Geesh people!! Your to do lists kill me ladies!! I think I need to make one up. The list seems short in my head but I think when I write it out it may look ugly!! Uh oh!!
