Hi Shannon,

I totally agree. Lesson learned! I told myself that the next wedding I'm invited to I will definitely send in my RSVP on time! It's so frustrating trying to track people down. Also, some people say they're coming but until they've booked their travel I'm hesitant to include them in the final count. Sigh..

Anyway, congrats on finding your dress! It's very beautiful and suits you well

that is so true! i don't want to include people that are saying they're coming...they have one more month before we turn in the final count. i don't want to be a biatch but i want to say "book before april 14th or you're dead meat!" heh.

I have to turn in my final count a month ahead of time and pay for everything so it sucks for the 5 or so people that will know last minute. With the rate to fly out there now I'm not so hopefully... it's so expensive I can't even believe it!

it is EXPENSIVE! i would be surprised if anyone else booked next month...everything is so expensive now.

I'm having the same issue with the jump in flight prices....we still have about 4 people left to book and they are all pretty important people.. FACK!

[KittenHeart]

Same here, I had a bridesmaid that booked her and her husbands tickets for a grand total of $600 from NY to Cancun back during a major price drop. She had to cancel her ticket because she booked them for the wrong dates and forgot to re-book. Now her direct flights for the 2 of them are around $1,400... and now it's questionable if she'll even make it due to waiting.

I totally hear you girls. Pretty much everyone booked their rooms, but we still have several who have yet to book flights. And it's a lot more expensive now than it was a couple months ago when I sent out reminders. ugh. This is definitely the worst part of a DW - the anxiety of waiting for people to just book already!

thoughts on the flight prices dropping? is it a possibility at this point?

[KittenHeart]

I definitely think it's a possibility and it may happen... the only thing is, it may happen one or two weeks before any of our weddings... theres no prediction at all and you most likely won't get a direct flight which isn't a big deal, it's the leaving it to chance that I'm not a fan of

Kittenheart- I hear you, I don't like that last minute stuff!
