April 2010 Brides

another good place for cute, cheap sandals is old navy. both our BM and GM have their shoes from there and they were all under $10 each.

 

echo, i will be keeping my fingers crossed for your dress hunting! you are bound to find your perfect dress here soon and i can't wait to see it when you do!

 

caribbeanlover, do you have a photobucket account? that is the absolute easiest way to post pictures. just upload your pictures there and copy the "IMG" code that shows up under the picture to a post and the picture should pop right up!

I do not have one! I guess I could find it by just googling it. Thanks so much I'll check it out!

scubadiva - you are so lucky to have that taken care of! can't wait to see the final 2. i'm freakin' out a little about the bridal party clothes. - will post about that at a later date...

 

echo2 - you can do it!! good dress buying vibes coming your way from SF!

Thanks for all the support with the dress-buying. I'm heading out again tonight for another go at it, and I've liked a lot of the dresses on their website so here's hoping! And of course you know I'll post if I do find one

Good luck to LOTS of pics.
My last 2 BM are shopping with me tonight after work!

good luck tonight holly!! can't wait to see what you come up with!

 

echo, good luck to you too! hopefully you'll find some dresses that you really love!

 

i got my disk of engagement pictures and my BD book in the mail last night and i was freaking out! the book is AMAZING and i'm so glad i had my photog do it instead of trying to do it myself! i hid it, but then kept taking it out and looking at it because i loved it so much and it was a huge self-esteem booster to see the pictures printed in such a high-quality format! how in the world am i going to wait almost 8 months to give it to FI?!

erin...can't wait to see your pix!!! (ps. got ur poop stickers today!!)

 

scubadiva & echo...hope the shopping trips went well for each of you.

 

do you ever feel like you just need to take an hour or two and just regroup??!? look over all your notes and scribbles and lists and start fresh again with a new list full of crap to be taken care of? that's where i'm at right now...kind of frustrated. i'm totally procrastinating that "hour or two"...blah.

if i had a dollar for every time told me they got my poop stickers...

di, i totally feel the same way sometimes. i actually keep two wedding lists together.. one at work and one at work. the one at work is the messy one where i just type anything that pops into my head. then once a week or so i open up my one at home, go through all my stuff from work and organize it and edit whatever crazy things i thought of during the week. it makes it much easier to keep myself from going overboard and keep all of my thoughts straight. i think at one point i had 3 different "to do" lists... not so great if you want to get anything accomplished!

Well nevermind the wedding planning alone, I'm totally the kind of person who needs to make lists for everything! Groceries, packing for a trip, errands to do on the weekend... I won't sleep well if my head is busy trying to keep all those things straight! And if you think about it, you make lists to help organize your thoughts. So if your lists start to get disorganized then no wonder you feel extra chaotic and more frustrated. I think it's also helpful to go over your lists now and then because you'll be able to see how much you've accomplished already and then maybe what's still left for your 'to-do's' won't seem quite so overwhelming.

Maybe go buy a pretty new notepad or something like that to sit down and re-write your lists out. That way you'll know that this is the updated and revised version and at least visually it might give you a bit of that fresh, organized feeling that you need to get going again.

Besides, it's FRIDAY!

echo, i'm right there with you! i keep post-its by the bed because heaven forbid i think of something to add to a list before i fall asleep!! plus, any excuse to buy a new notepad!!
