haha i know... 9 weeks sounds so bad... but i love it at the same time!! smile159.gif i'm kind of at a point where if we were leaving tomorrow, i'd be happy with what i got done.. so anything extra is a bonus!! popcorn.gif

alright ladies, let's get it together!! foshizzle.bmp

 

i haven't done CRAP.

 

my rsvp date was may 3rd and so far everyone except 4 people replied. i thought we were almost all set, until fi decided he really reeeeeally wanted to invite 5 more people!! and 3 of them are really trying to make it happen. it's not that i don't want more people- i just want it settled!!

 

 

maura, i got all of the etsy necklaces in. the second ones i ordered (with the pearl and crystal) are MUCH nicer than the first one with just the starfish. the chain on the second is really nice quality. i recommend her stuff. the other one is fine, just not awesome. and i like awesome better.. smile78.gif

Katrina, that is so funny about FI inviting people all last minute! HAHA J wanted to do that, too! LOL.
So how many people have booked so far?
we have 25 booked right now with 4 more maybes. most of me doesn't mind that fi keeps inviting people cause our package goes up to 40 and i won't have to pay anything more for them. but i'm kind of unmotivated to do place cards and stuff like that until i have a final count!! i hate starting projects that i know i can't finish.. so i'd rather just not do it at all. smile105.gif

i haven't talked to my wc either!! i emailed her and asked when and she said she promises she'll be contacting me next week. so again, i've been doing everything pretty halfass because i don't know the details. doesn't that seem so silly? with 2 months to go i have no idea where i'm having my reception. if we were having a "normal" wedding we'd be FREAKING OUT. dw brides are awesome cheer2.gif
