It's either too sexy or not sexy enough..where's the middle ground? All I know is we better find it soon.
On another note, have any of you girls started planning your bachelorette/bridal shower stuff? I know that's up to the BM's, but they want me to pick when and where and I have no clue. I can either do wine country or Vegas or Santa Barbara or San Diego, basically anything in CA or NV. And how soon beforehand? I don't want it to be months beforehand, because I want it to feel like I'm going to be getting married soon, but I wonder if people will complain if it's only a month before and they are spending money to go to my bacherlorette and wedding? Toughie.. My MOH is planning my bridal shower for September. From what I hear, about 2-3 months before is normal for a shower. Im not sure about having a bachlorette party, as ALL of my BM's and girlfriends are in Jersey and I live in Houston I think if you had a bachelorette party in late Sep/early Oct it would be fine. I dont think people will complain. Who wouldnt want to go out and party? lol But, I am worried about people not wanting to get us wedding gifts because they are travelling for our wedding. I know it sounds selfish, but why shouldnt we expect gifts?
