Quote:Originally Posted by Tinkerbell82 I just made it too! WOO HOO! I wonder how long it will be before I can see the templates! I'm happy and jealous at the samd dang time. LOL. I'm almost there. I thought I was going to be there by last weekend but my internet (at home) has been down since Friday. So I was only able to get on via my phone (over the weekend), which kind of sucked and work. I'm determined to reach 150 by this weekend.

it just goes to show there is no pleasing people. The same people complaining now are the same ones who would be complaining about the extra cost if you would've decided to have a bridal party. Just remember it Your day. Real friends will respect, understand and accept that.

Quote:Originally Posted by GingerJ228 We just got engaged about 3 weeks ago and decided not to have a bridal party either. I have been getting a lot of backlash regarding this and I am standing firm. Really? I would think people would be relieved. I didn't want anyone feeling pressured to attend my wedding or feel like it was too much to attend as well as be a part of it. I got lucky, none of my friends or my FI's friends have complained. Good luck with everything.

Quote:Originally Posted by megssweet1 Â Â Â Â OMG!!!! I thought I was the only one experiecing this. My FI's mother has not reserved her room and she just keeps saying she's coming. I'm soooooo frustrated b/c we both want her there and we also can't move forward with our plans for my stepson without knowing if she's really coming b/c he will fly out and stay with her. I'm trying not to stress or nag him or her but I'm secrectly losing my mind. I like the idea of a DIY party. Good idea.

Quote:Originally Posted by Tinkerbell82 $700? Geeze! I wonder if you could get someone on etsy to make it for you? It's funny you said that b/c I've thought about having my mom make me one. She's very creative and I'm almost certain if I showed her a pic she would be able to duplicate it. I may do a test and see. If it doesn't work out I can always order one.

Quote:Originally Posted by ucfjennifer I feel the same way! It's going to be here before we know it! As for my dress fittings, I'm also getting started on a workout schedule. I'm super short so my dress will definitely need to be hemmed, I'm just hoping to need some work done in the middle section too! Haha! IKR ;-)

Another good idea. Something to think about. Thanks

Exactly!!!

Yes ma'am but I kind if want it to be a nice surprise for them when they get there. However, I'm not ruling it out.

I have decided I am no longer going to worry about who's coming and who's not as long as my parents, his mother, & my brother are there. Initially I stressed over guest but I can't. If it's just me and my FI then so be it. Right now we have about 20 confirmed. I think more will confirm but like I said I'm not going to stress about it. Those who can't attend can celebrate with us at our AHR and see pics then. I would say try not to worry about your guest count (if you can).

Thanks brownsugarbride I will definitely check out the sites you mentioned. Honestly, my biggest worry is finding someone to do my hair beautifully and how I want it more than how I want to wear my hair.

Me 2. Our colors are black, white, and I'm not sure what color to call the blue but it's darker than teal. I'll try and find a pic of the color.

Did you use one of those zip n seal like bags, the ones you suck all the air out? Or did you just out it up there in its garment bag? I'm trying to decide which method I'm going to use since my airline said there is no closet to store it in.

Seven months seem like 2mrw to me. Do you feel that way as well? My dress is suppose to be here in December. I'm nervous and very excited about that at the same time. I ordered my dress in the size I am now but I want to Need alterations. So I need to start working out. I also need to decide on a reception venue for our AHR. I sent out informational STD a while ago. I'm not sending formal invitations b/c those who plan to attend have reserved their rooms and we're working on flights now. Besides, any areas we can save money I'm down. I created programs on zazzle and once my brother makes the final decision regarding my niece (attending or not) I'll order them and the fans. I have a few "to do list". Just trying to slowly knock things off while paying off this wedding.

Good stuff shugapop1. I definitely appreciate any and all help I can get. When I think of things I need help with I will definitely let you know. Thank you again. I truly would be lost without this site.

Not at all. I have several list. I have list for things I need to do, things I need to purchase, and so forth. For the most part I think I've paid or put deposits on the major stuff except our reception venue. Still working that out.

Hopefully we can all figure it out together.

You definitely want to call your airline first b/c US Airways told me they didn't have anywhere to hang my gown that my only option is the overhead compartment.

I definitely vote yes for the belt. It give the dress a lil extra something. Beautiful

Sorry, I meant to add this when replying. First time on the site from my phone.

April brides rock. Congrats to you as well.

Oh yeah, natural hair rocks
