To me a shower is a bunch of girls/ladies sitting around playing funny games and opening silly gifts. If your mom is planning on having upwards of 100 people there, that sounds more like a pre-AHR. Personally I wouldn't care about the "only supposed to invite to the shower the people who you invite to the wedding part" because we are not registering and do not want gifts. If this is the case, then let your mom run the show. If the idea of your shower is for people to bring gifts, then it really depends on the people who will be invited, and why they are not invited to the actual wedding. If they just want an excuse to see the bride to be and lavish you with gifts, then thats cool to invite people not at the wedding. If they are the type of people who will care about that sort of thing, then you should probably plan on not inviting them to the shower if you don't want to ruffle feathers.

I'm having 2, the first one was where they pin everything in place, and make sure it looks right. The 2nd is where you try it on and make sure they did it right, and if so, then I bring my dress home that day. In my case they won't store the dress there so I do have to bring it back AGAIN to have it cleaned and steamed, and then pick it up AGAIN. It's a lotta back and forth

I figure by next month I'll finally start buying all the stuff off the internet that I've been bookmarking. My biggest problem right now is finishing all the computer projects I've been working on. I just need to find the time to sit down and do it already! I've been procrastinating like its the gym or something! AAARRRGGGHHHH!

I'm surprised they didn't mention hiring a Flock of Seagulls tribute band! OMG you've got to be kidding me Doug has one sister who is stuck in a time warp to the 80's. No matter what we do to try and help, she just loves her high-waisted jeans, big blonde permed hair, and blue eyeshadow. Funny thing is Doug's older bro who now goes completely bald USED to have hair just like hers back then, when he was in a rock band! When I was dress shopping I showed some pics of the dresses I liked to her and wouldn't you know, she kept saying things like, "That one is pretty but it needs poofy shoulders" or "Lace sleeves would be pretty." I had to bite my lip and couldn't wait to report back to Doug! OK, back to your regularly scheduled tips of the day!

Shoot no! We're like 2 peas in a pod, you and me

Yay! thats so exciting crossing that off the list. Booking our photog was my favorite and most important part!

YAY! Glad you could get back online in the nick of time to finish up your wedding plans. Cool camera! Can't wait to see the pics it takes!

OH MY GOD Alyssa! I can't even begin to imagine what you are feeling right now. I am so upset for you! Please keep us updated. So weird that you just asked that question about paying deposits.. WHOA! And what a blow to the Island! That is SO sad!
