UGH! I can't find it anywhere in Chicago! There is a trunk show for Watters this weekend at Macy's, i HOPE they have it!!!

We are doing bags for 50+ people. In them will be personalized flip flops from partyflops, hand sanitizers, small pouch with advil, sunblock and pepto bismol. We are giving each person a bag. It's a lot to bring but I am packing a few extra suitcases and paying the checked baggage fees.

will do, thanks josie.

This dress is unaltered and brand new. I paid $400 for it, but will take an offer. I love it, but I fell in love with another dress.

I did send out an e-mail reminding our guests to send back their RSVP's or let us know if they are still undecided. I think it was a good reminder for some people. We got some more responses after that. People just forget I think.

Hey ladies, I sent my invites out early on April 1st with a June 1st RSVP date. Our wedding is October 11th. I received a lot of responses back, but am missing a lot. Even 1 bridesmaid and 1 groomsmen haven't returned it. When should I say something and how?

How do you know if the gift you receive in the mail is a wedding gift or a shower gift?

Hi Ladies- I have an etiqutte question. We have received about 5 gifts so far in the mail. Our weddding is in October, and we sent our invites out in April with a June 1st RSVP. We opened them as we received them, until someone at work told me we shouldn't open gifts if the person sending them will be coming to my bridal shower. She told me that I should bring all the gifts I got in the mail to the shower. This seems a little crazy to me since the boxes we have been getting are HUGE. Also, why would someone mail the gift to US if they plan on coming to the shower, wouldn't they mail it to themself and bring it? So far, some of the gifts have been from guests who RSVP'd no, and will not be coming to the shower. So that takes care of that, but yesterday we received a gift from a friend whi IS coming to the wedding and is invited to the shower. What is the proper way to handle that siutation? TIA.

Long story short, my uncle cannot make it, but his wife is asking for an invitation. I rarely speak to them, and I do no like her! She is very manipulative. Invites went out and RSVP date is June 1st. My mom doesn't like her either and REALLY doesn't want her to go. Now she hasn't directly asked me, but has asked my Grandpa where her invitation was? What should I do?

I asked people via e-mail if they could RSVP on our website to get a general idea. Not everyone did it, though many people did.

I'm not sure, what is typical for a wedding? I think if they hang over 2 feet that would probably meet the end of the table cloth.

Is 108" too long, or would I need 72". I am so clueless when it comes to these things. Thank God for this forum!!

Is anyone asking them to speak or just waiting to see if they have a toast on their own?

Sweet! Thank you ladies.

Seems a little crazy sending a card for a card? kind of like thank you for the thank you, lol. Do it ONLY if its in your budget, otherwise a verbal thank you should do.

We decided to put up an open invitation to the whole department. We were surprised by the number of people attending. About 20 co-workers are coming, so unless you want a larger wedding stick with only a few people. We are happy about all the people coming to ours, just unexpected.

I was just going to post about the same thing. The thing for us is we have 25 people booked (mostly my family, firedns and co-workers.) FI's parents booked and that's it! His brother is supposed to be our BM, Haven't heard from him. I tried e-mailing twice to get his measurements for the linen pants we are purchasing for him (NOTHING). It's very frustrating, we sent out our invites with RSVP of June 1st and no one on FI's side has responed (It's May 23rd). So some people will procrastinate, I am not going to worry though because all in all MOST of the people saying they are coming ARE.

ShellB- do you remember if there are different color options for linens for a private reception? Also, do you know what the centerpieces looked like? No one is e-mailing me back from there
