Any 2011 brides?!!

[debbmach]

i sent out my std's a year in advance and then sent out the invites once i got pricing from a travel agent. on the invites i included all the booking info and when my guests needed to put their deposits down....ended up being 8 months before the wedding.

Debbmach, that is a great idea to send booking info with the invites. What a great idea! I think I will use it! 8 months sounds like a good time to me, too.

lol, yes Obama and i go way back......this was taken at the wax museum in las veags. we just had to....lol

the 8month mark seems like a good idea. my only concern is that would mean i would send them out in dec. Alot of people are usually super busy during that month, with xmas and all. thinking maybe jan then. that way the invites dont get lost in the bussel of christmas.

Ashley: Hahaha. I thought it might be wax after I posted that comment! how funny. So, send them out in November then. No big deal. People aren't SO busy that they can't put a simple RSVP back in the mail. Don't stress yourself out too much over that.

I'm sending my invites in July. That gives the guests 7 months to prepare for a cost of about $1100. That should be enough right?

I can't believe how fast 2011 is approaching. As soon as I decided on a date is when the time started flying. lol I have a little over 8 months. And I have done NOTHING!!! my STD's have gotten lost in the mail. Which means no one has actually made a deposit yet. Which sucks cause I don't know exactly how many people are actually going so I can't buy anything for the wedding as far as OOT items or even chair sashes. I haven't purchased my dress. I don't have any accessories. Only thing is I've made a few deposits on the room. lol

Lol, i think it's time for you to get busy. Sorry about ur STD's, try sending them via email. Wedding Dresses - Wedding Engagement - Wedding Ideas - Wedding Planning - By TheKnot.com offers that. Start emailing guests and see what happens lol. Or just skip the std's altogether and send out ur invites.

[Mischaka]

I already paid for the STD's...so they will get sent out...what I was thinking of doing was just including a person letter giving more details and skip the invites. lol and as for everything else...I guess I'm just stalling. At least I have my welcome dinner dress and 2 bathing suits. lol

Hey ladies! My goal is to get all my invites and booking info out 10 months in advance! I want to give everyone plenty of time to get the $$ together!
