LOL! This is freakin awesome.

These are really cute!

Hey, I think the wedding cocktails are a great idea!

Thanks for the awesome review!

Also, I just bought tylenol from ebay at got 50 packets of two pills for 7 dollars.

I am debating whether or not to put the rates in the STDs but now I think I want to. Blah.

Those are awesome!

These are awesome!

My mom was hesitant at first but says she will be there no matter what. My FI's parents are not coming. I had to come to terms and accept the fact that we can only count on he and I and as long as he is there that's all that matters to me.

The idea about the email is what I think I would like to do if I can't get my save the dates out in the next 5 days.

OMG! I love this dress. I am beginning the wedding dress shopping phase and am dreading it because I feel like I won't find anything that looks good on me. But, this dress looks amazing on you and I have a restored excitement!

That is gorgeous!

This sounds like so much fun!!

Thanks for this thread because my family will be doing my make up as well.

I like the wording of reception attire and beach chic.

I have seen so many different ways to recognize deceased parents and loved ones in a subtle way; from a rose in empty chairs, to frames, to candles, to toasts. As far as your separated parents, I have seen this done several ways too and it depends on how close you are to your parents significant others. I have seen both sets of parents walk down the isle, I have seen both men walk the bride down the isle; I've seen one stepfather walk the bride half way and "hand off" the bride to her father to take her the rest of the way, there are soo many different ways to do that as well. Good luck!

Yeah, that's awkward. I had a friend call me two days ago asking me "why in the hell am I not in your wedding party because when I get married you would definitely be in it". Now, I have ALWAYS been a blunt person, even too a fault some would venture to say, but I gave her a mild version of the situation. I say this to say it is harder than I thought it would be to have that conversation. But, I never once thought about just putting her in the wedding to spare her feelings. This is your day, like everyone else has said. The people you pick are supposed to be people who are close to you, by your side and most of all, supportive and helpful throught this planning process. Good luck and happy planning!
