Ladies please don't forget to thank your guest. I just think it is sooooo tacky for people to have engagement parties, showers, weddings, ect... and not thank people for attending or showing their support. I went to 3 weddings last year and only one bride sent a thank you card. I went to a shower this year only to find out later I didn't make the wedding list, super tacky! The same amout of time and effort put into inviting people to these events should go into some kind of thank you, if they attended. With DW's your kinda asking for much more than a traditional wedding and they deserve to be thanked. I understand the favors at the wedding but that's what it is, a favor. I do understand most if not all of us here are having a DW so it may take some time to get around to doing them but please don't forget. Me and FI are staying a few days after the wedding but not looking at it as a honeymoon so I plan to do mine immediately or before going and then mail them as soon as I get home. Sorry to add to your to do list but I think it's an appropriate gesture.

I'm not sure how you are searching for them but I googled and found several places that have resonable prices

Nice idea, thanks for the info.

Hopefully everything works out for the best I can understand your concern. I recently stopped using my Nuva Ring, then did a very bad thing. However I ran and got a Plan B and that took care of it. I'm not sure I want kids at all so I definatly was not looking to be preggo!

It really looks like you put a lot of time and effrort into those and they came out really nice, good job!

This sounds like a really fun idea I wanted to do a video booth so people could say something but this may be fun as well, I would just get some props from walmart big goofy glasses beach ball freesbie (sp) sand bucket set big sun blocking hat maybe I can place a small dry erase board for people to write something on as well as look goofy, I'm brainstorming on this idea, thanks!!!

I would probbly have everyone walk alone or have his people already up front and just have your girls walk alone, hope this helps some

I can understand your fustration, good luck finding them!

It's really up to what you and FI decide. I would just consider my guest and the fact that you are to some degree entertaining them as well as celebrating. Do you think they will act crazy if you do have alcohol? Or how would they feel if you don't? Bottom line it's what the two of you decide in the end!

You guys look beautiful and you did a very good review, I'm sure this information will be useful.

Your pics look really nice I hope I can find someone in my area to take some for me it's such a good gift and my FI would love a gift like that.

Those vows are really nice. I am getting 3 children and have none of my own, however I'm not sure they or I would be comfortable with those vows. I want to do the sand ceremony if they want to participate or even go with us, so the situation is def still in the air for us.

it's what you guys want, if he's not satisfied with doing a reading and the introduction then he will have to get over it. Or you could let him do a toast at the reception. I am having my friend who is not in the wedding party do the toast on both of our behalves, she introduced us.

welcome and congrats!

I agree with the other ladies if you can do it why not. Less stress is always a plus.

I agree 6 months is a long time. Just have a party if you need to wait that long it will still serve the same purpose. I would say 90 days max on a AHR only because you do have to get home and get adjusted and maybe even save some money for the party but 90 day max I think. But you know the saying, "whatever floats your boat!!!"

I'm very sorry for your loss and the things that you are going through right now. I also say go and see how it is, it can't hurt you. I went for about 3 months 2 years ago, I just felt like I had no control over my life and no direction and needed to talk to someone because that was sooo not me. At the time me and FI had just broke up and I was just feeling so confused. She basically said I was having seperation anxiety probably behind the break up. I stopped going because I felt better but I pray daily also to keep me going. Many AA women let their pride tell them if we go talk to someone were crazy or weak and it's soooo not true. It's merely another person who has no ties to you listening and trying to help you figure things out without a bias opinion. I hope things get better for you !!!

Not sure if you pray or who you pray to but it's definatly something I would pray about. Time heals things and with time hopefully you will heal and things will get better. Sorry your having to deal with this at a time in you life when you want to be just happy.

Why not get your money's worth and people will want to see it on you anyway.

I am still also confused about the timing on sending out the STD's and invitations but I think it's all up to what you prefer. I have now decided on sending my website out to everyone possible by May this year, then have an engagement party in June this year and pass the STD's out at the party, and then invitations will go out to those who have booked by next March. I am doing my RSVP's by my website, specifically asking guest not to RSVP until they have booked, then confirming all booked guest with the hotel. But whatever makes you comfortable and you know your guest and what they may need as far as being notified.

your list looks good, and as far as your guest list if your family and friends are anything like my guest they may book last min. and then things change again, so don't worry!

very cute!!!

good job your girls will love them!

Congrat! Have fun with your bundle of joy!

He's Wack!!! You should send him this HEHEHE, just kidding don't waste your time. Maybe like ErinB said he doesn't like the rules but clearly needs them. Or there is a thread on here somewhere with negative comments about his work but probably true, LOL. Or he's just Wack like the first thing that came to my mind!
