I hand addressed about 80 invites. I did them in batches of about 20, so it really wasn't that bad. As long as you space it out into doable amounts, it's really not that bad.

I 'fess up, I also thought it was boobs!

Your cake looks great - good call on the flowers!

Natasha, these look great - love the heart shaped magnet!

WOW - those are perfect!

Readings are always good for friends who aren't in the wedding party, but you want them to be a part of the wedding. Ask each of them to do a reading, or to help usher guests.

I agree - #1 looks like it was made for you!

At first I thought that the instructor was Paris Hilton - which would have made it even better!

I echo those who say that they support the right of moms to BF in public, but please practice some modesty! I was on the subway the other day, and this woman started BFing her kid without any type of covering. On the subway. After a long hard day at work, why do I want to see this? If she has some type of throw, pashmina, something, I would have no issue with it. I do agree that bfing in the bathroom is nasty, though. And really, eating in the subway is pretty similar to eating in a bathroom since it's so unhygenic. Although, I prefer that people don't eat on the subway anyways, so grain of salt, I guess.

I was "best woman" in a buddy of mine's wedding. He has 2 brothers. He told them that he couldn't choose between them, so he chose his best friend. I think you'd be able to do the same thing. Just say that you can't choose among them, so you chose to have a good friend stand up for you. Also just explain that you only want to have one other person stand up for you, and that's your MOH.

I wore Philosophy's Amazing Grace. Love it!

We got photo cards from shutterfly and had thank you printed inside but then wrote a personal note to each person thanking them for their specific gift. Sorry this doesn't answer your question - just wanted to let you know there are other options out there! If you stick with postcards, can you just leave thank you on the front and then write something on the back? Just because there's room for more writing, doesn't mean you have to utilize it. I agree with mich999. We used Shutterfly as well, and said on the bottom part of the inside flap, "Thank you from the bottom of our hearts". We had a photo collage on the front, and it was blank so we could write on the inside top flap. People loved them.

We were boring and just put the wedding date.

A brownie sundae bar sounds amazingly perfect! Brownies are my favorite dessert , and a la mode makes everything better anyway. I like the idea of bringing the boxes with you to make sure they're what you want.

Thank you for that - such a sad and touching story.

Uggh, that sucks - especially since he was trying to do his part in the chores. He must feel awful... Yup, new sheets on the registry are in order!

Uggghh, hate it when that happens! Whenever I'm planning a trip I always feel like I'm playing the slot machines. It seems to be all chance.

I bought my first wedding dress (an Amsale) from Kleinfeld. It was on a Saturday, but it was not a bad experience at all. We did not get our BM dresses from there, but at a bridal store in the East Village called Blue.

I'm being super vigilant with weighing my food, and am concentrating on Core foods for the most part. Hopefully, the scale will recognize!

I guess I subconsciously had white pants on the brain this morning, because I'm wearing a new pair of white pants today...

Oh boy, so my fears are confirmed - I did undertip! I guess no matter what the bill you really should tip at 15-20%. My fault for going to such a pricey place - but $45-$50 tip seemed like a lot!

Absolutely he does - he'd definitely hear it from me if he didn't!

I know, Meghan, it's totally expensive. But he does such a good job. I tried the salon where I get my hair cut ( I go for my cut at a place that specialized in curly hair) for highlights and they were atrocious. I have read that you don't tip the owner, but I think I'd feel uncomfortable not tipping. But that's just me - I think I have a tipping problem - lol! I think I've read that a salon tip should be 15%.
