I keep trying to rationalize if it's so bad right now it has to be so much better after!!

That is really good news about Rina!! 

 

I love all the packing ideas everyone is throwing out there.  I have two different checklists to go over when I start packing.  I know I will still forget something LOL.

 

I hate how shoes take up so much space but yet we all feel they are so necessary to bring, right??   I plan on bringing white and black wedges (most space takers), wedding heels, wedding flip flops, black heels, sparkly heels and 2 pairs of flips flops....oh and workout shoes.  I am not really a big shoe girl but I feel I need all of these.  I know that is just one suitcase right there ugh!!  I need to cut back already.

Great job ladies!!  I loved reading both of them.  I have started mine in Word and I need to layout and take pics of the OOT bags and a few other things before I can post it. 

 

Very inspiring.  Thank you to you both!!

Something similar happened with my BM/good friend, she gave me about 5 weeks notice. It's impossible for this not to change the friendship I think.

I can''t believe the actions of some of my "very best friends", and how hurt they have made me feel. I've gotten "yes" RSVPs and then a "NO"  after the RSVP deadline, but this evening felt like the nail in the coffin and just bought me to tears.

I called her an hour ago to say I hope it doesn't ruin our friendship (more fool me??) but she has to understand I'm upset and can't really get into it now. I really don't want this to ruin our friendship but at the same time i don't know how it can ever be the same again.

I love your tabe set up! Where did you get the vases from? And did you use a real flower inside, or is it a fake flower?

I am going to start pulling out all the OOT bag stuff and seeing what it all looks like.  I've done things in little spurts so I need to figure out everything I really have.  Then I'll see if it all fits in one suitcase which I think it will. 

 

I really need to send out the pre-travel brochures and luggage tags. Geez I'm slacking!!

 

I tested out my centerpieces with the table runners, napkins, sashes and two place settings last night.  Finally looks good.  It was hard for me to envision what it would look like together without actually seeing it.  Now I am happy!!

 

What do you think?  Is it enough?  There will probably be two to a table.

There is a turquoise LED light in the vase that will look good at night time.  It's hard to see it in  the pic.

Vases are from the Dollar Tree!!  The flower inside is a fake orchid from Michaels.  Still looking for the right one but I have those as a back up if needed.
