Well 1 of my bridesmaids have to decrease the number of days that she will attend by 1 day & hopefully we can find a roommate for her. (I'm really thankful that with all that just happened that she will still attend).   Another bridesmaid decided to book elsewhere because it was cheaper ;-()  I have 2 other possible guest that RSVP and send their card back but didn't book yet... I'm mean really just hold on to the darn thing until you are decided.  UGHhhhhh  So since our invites went out we only added 1 new book.  Of course we never knows whose actually going to go until its deadline time.

 

we were really pushing for unlimited events but at least we will get something!  Depending on what the final count is, we very well may change the "welcome dinner" to a welcome get together so that we don't have to eat the cost. 

 

Enough of me gripping how's everyone's planning coming along

off by 3 room nights .  FI and I thought about decreasing our stay at LeBlanc and increasing MP but we both don't want to do that.  We know that we have some definite will books and we were hoping to get a few more just in case some folks backed out at the end.  Blah

I don't think so but my TA is working on it.  If so that would be great.

Happy Planning this week, ladies!!  xoxo

1) YAY for room bookings! We are STILL waiting for people to book! UGHHHH! The invites went out 2 weeks ago and still no new bookings and 3 "NO" RSVPs. Man we both only have 4 months left! Our guests need to get their butts in gear! LOL

 

2) WooHoo!!! Good job!! I know how hard that can be. I've been struggling to do that for YEARS! I can't imagine you'd have anything else to lose on your trim self!

Well packages are still trickling in and I'm still checking off the list of what has been received and what still needs to be purchased or DIYed.  Thank goodness the latter two list are dwindling down YAY!  There is a light at the end of the "we're spending $ every day or damn near tunnel" LOL

 

So the latest item that has come in are my garters.  Not really a big fan of them and despise the garter & bouquet toss but then I found a way to make it fun.  Well FI loves the Cowgirls I mean Cowboys Haha.. and I'm a Steelers girl all the way (I went to College in Pgh. started Grad school there, had my son there, etc...so I lived there for a good 10years).  We can't stand each other's team  and to top it off many of his friends are coming like the Steelers and some the Cowgirls so this will be fun... the end product is pictured below.

 

The left side is the Girls and the right side is the Best Team Ever....The Black and Yellow!

Look at you go with your bad self! Hahaha! You are the DIY queen! I bow down to you!  Great job! You are so creative. I don't know how you do it!

These are pictures of our STD/ newsletter we sent out to all of our guest explaining the basics/ what to expect/ prices.  I sent them out the end of August- thought I'd share!

CUTE!!!! It looks so professional. I need to start thinking about a newsletter/pre-travel brochure also. I think I'm dreading that the most! Great job! I can't wait to see what your invites look like!

This has happened to us too. FI's step-mom and her 2 sons (his half brothers and 2 of our groomsmen) decided she couldn't stay the 6 nights she originally booked, and cut their stay down to 3 nights! Thats just crazy if you ask me...I mean if you are spending the money to fly all the way there you might as well get a good stay while you're there!! They will be missing out on a lot of our events/activities as well. Oh well...

 

I'm PRAYING that we reach the 75 room nights. To do all the things we want would cost a bunch extra so we would probably have to skip some events as well.

KRSMITH....... BACK!  Missed you girly!  How's everything?

[krsmith]

Right before I left for MT I got a VERY special package from Red-i by Chelsea! YAY!! I She did such an amazing job not only on all the accessories, but she even made the labels and BOX that it all came in look incredible! I know my sisters are going to LOVE their barefoot jewelry. I'm so excited to give it to them too....I don't know if I can wait until we are there!! 

 

I wanted to go for a beachy inspired look to the jewelry instead of matching them to our colors. I just really liked the look of the more organic stones/gems. Mine have a bit more "bling" to them, but they all tie in quite nicely! It was actually HER wedding foot jewelry that made me want to get some, so I went for that look and boy did she DELIVER!! 

 

Thank you Chelsea for putting up with my craziness and making something so beautiful! You are amazing and talented, and you know I will be coming to you for all my future custom made jewelry!!

Hi!!!!!!!

 

Thanks lady!

 

Things have been good for the most part! Crazy, but pretty good. Every time I get back from a few days off I just get SLAMMED at work. Then it was more work from my house (I'm an Esthetician, and I do Lash Extensions on the side), a birthday party for a couple co-workers, AND unfortunately my baby girl Bianca (Shih Tzu mix) had to be taken to the vet early yesterday morning for testing. She may be in the early stages of kidney failure...OR diabetes. I'm completely crushed by it. She is the LOVE of my life and my baby. We have an incredibly close bond since I had her at 4 weeks old so I'm definitely her mommy. 

 

Other than that everything else is good! Wedding planning is going well and I got quite a bit done while I was in MT. I'm at least feeling a little more relieved now that I have gotten a good start on some of those projects! 

 

How are things your way?!?

I'm sorry to hear about your baby Bianca!  Keep your head up!

 

Wedding planning is coming along despite the post earlier!  I talked to FI when he came home and he said "there's no way in hell that we are decreasing anything at LeBlanc, that is not an option." Way to go FI but dang he was all serious about it (I was tickled pink;-)

 

A few more packages on their way so I'll be able to check those off the list, dress should be here in November, and almost done with decor.
