Its gorgeous!!! Looks great on you! Congrats on finding THE one!

Ive kind of put my planning on the back burner lately, ive been so stressed about people not booking that the last thing i wanted to think about was the wedding. But good news i had 3 people book yesterday! So its time to get back on track! Ive got most of my stuff for my OOT bags, just trying to decide what type of bag i want to use and am also not sure if i want to do one back per room/couple or one per person? And for the life of me cant decide on centerpieces, i change my mind on what i want pretty much every day lol. Not been doing much other than that, I am trying to find a location for our AHR so i can set a date though, but I want it to be a more tradition reception but not cost an arm and a leg.

I just used a paper slicer, my pages had like a light grey line to cut along and when I fold them if there's anything that doesn't line up I'll just trim accordingling, it was very tedious cutting them out and I think that's why I haven't done anything with them since cutting them lol

I've read a lot of brides on here send out their STDs with an RSVP just to get an idea of who may be coming, I think a yes, no and maybe is good. Just so youcan start to get a better idea of who may or may not come

Brandy- i havent finished them yet , I have all the pages for the passport cut out I just need to put all the booklets together, I'm actually hoping on doing it tonight. I've been seriously slacking but it's time to get my butt in gear so I can get them out in a couple weeks! How's your planning going?

Afloral.com is a great site with awesome prices! Thanks for the tip Mocha!

This is fantastic info! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for all the support ladies, it's so nice to be able to get it all off my chest because other than BDWers nobody else really understands . Brandy- I'm in the same boat with my dad, they are always spending money and buying everything but complain about how tight money is and say they won't know if they'll be able to go to Mexico until after thefirst of the year! I feel bad asking people to spendthe money to travel but they go on a big trip every year so I don't know why this can't be their big trip

Seriously! I've gotten to the point where I'm so stressed out I don't want to even talk about the wedding other than on here with you ladies! My guests have until the 22nd to put down their $100 deposit per person, I'm praying people will book by then! I'm afraid a lot of people are trying to wait until they gettheir tax refunds early next year and I'm worried everything is going to be so booked! I've honestly gotten to the point where I'm afraid we made a mistake doing a DW , it's like heart breaking that nobody has booked! Everybody says they want to go but I'm not sure if anybody other than our parents are actually going to go and FI's dad says he's not going, everything is a mess!

So I just added up my big costs ( wedding package, photog, centerpieces, alterations, trip and welcome dinner) and it looks like I have to come up with about $8500 by the wedding! And that's not including small things here and there ( shoes, sashes, decorations, a few last minute things for oot bags) !!! I kind of want to cry right now! Not to mention not a single person has booked their trip yet

Were doing OOT bags kind of as the favors , the less our guests are goon to have to pack to take back homethe better I think

i just did the same thing a couple days ago and am sooooo stressed out now!!!!

Were Doug centerpieces and I'm budgeting about $250 for them which I don't think is too bad. As for music were doing an iPod playlist which has me totally stressed out right now, I need to start putting it together but it's such an overwhelming task! Thank goodness for BDW forums and all their help! Ps I cannot wait for thanksgiving! We also do ham instead of turkey for Christmas.

adales~ those flowers are really pretty! I just got mine from another BDWer a while ago and they look even better in person and they really do feel real ! very cool! Keep up posted on what you decide

This is all so great! I LOVE the colors together! You have put so much time and thought into all this! Cant wait to see more of your ideas!

Lisa- I'm in the same boat. Down 10lbs so far, 40 more to go! Seems impossible but we can do it! And we'll be ecstatic when we do!

This is the best prices packet for what i get with it that i was able to find. Which hotel are you getting married at? Do they have their own photographer that they use? if so they might have special rates for your wedding?

Brandy those bouts are so adorable! and the price is great!

have you tried looking on her for real touch flowers that people are selling? I bought my bridal bouquet & grooms bout on here and its stunning!

Our photography package is $2500, it includes 8 hours of photography the day of the wedding, a 3 hour TTD session the next day and the photographers travel expenses from WI.

Here is my cake inspiration :

This is such a great planning thread! I love the idea for the camera scavenger hunt for each table!

I wouldn't wait any longer than 6 months to have it ordered unless you're gettig it from davids bridal which I think is more like 3 months but I wouldn't push your luck because it would be horrible to bother your dress in time

**bump** keep 'em coming Mrs! these are so great to look through and can't wait to contribute my own in a little over 6 months!

You look beautiful! You're pictures are amazing
