Any 2011 Brides out there?

[Lindobride14]

Hello ladies!

 

Well, everything worked out with the dress last week. The seamstress said she can make it fit me perfectly, so that's a relief!

 

Last week I went to stay with my sister who lives in Door County, WI (about 5 hours away) for the week and spend some time with her and my 5 month old godson! It was so great to spend some time with the little guy, but I must say I have a new respect for you mom's out there. It is HARD work!

 

I babysat all day Thurs & Fri while my sister was at work, and poor little Jack had just started teething . . . so I was giving him cold rags, frozen teethers, putting him in his swing, reading him books, watching Baby Einstein, standing on my head -- ANYTHING to pacify him!!

 

As a sidenote, I also watched a marathon session of My Fair Wedding, Bridezillas and Rich Bride Poor Bride while I was there. Thank god I'm cheap and don't have those channels at home!

Im sure you will get a lot of recommendations from the girls on here, im not sure on small places to be honest... but What kind of places have you been looking at? :-)

Nicy, I didn't order them last night I am having second thoughts about the design I picked out. I'm thinking of just going with something more simple as to not spend so much money. I'm also thinking of finding a STD template on here I like and just making them myself to save money. This being the third time we've ordered them, I don't want to spend a lot of money, you know?

Personally i would make them, i didnt do STD's but i did make my own invites and rsvp's :-) I love making them, getting a template from here is a great idea as im sure there will be loads and loads :-) Let us know what you decide xo

Hi All,

Just thought I'd introduce myself, as I'm another 2011 bride. I've been hanging around the Azul Sensatori thread only so far, as that's where we're having our wedding. But thought this might be a good group of ladies to join too and share ideas and experiences with as I go.

 

Not sure if I'll be able to fully catch up on all 200+ pages of this thread but I've skimmed through them a bit and I'm sure I'll jump in to the swing of things around here with you ladies quickly enough.

 

so... Hi! Oh, real name is Kelsey by the way

[Soon-to-be-McRae]

Hi Kelsey

 

Welcome to the thread its great to see new brides to be
