Weddingbee boards

Seriously?  Seriously!

One freaking month.

We're doing okay, we have a few projects to finish up so I can get them in the mail to where the wedding is.  (This long distance thing BLOWS)

We're running out of money and that's the most concerning.  Everything has cost slightly more than it should have, and we're paying for everything ourselves.  Oh well things will get done--they always do.

I'm nervous/excited/slightly overwhelmed.

Plus, I've cut out fast food, soda and coffee, so I'm a little cranky.

But I MAY make a test batch of the cookies for our dessert buffet :D

@JenuineMulder: I wish you were here!  Otherwise, I might be forced to eat them all myself.  I'd better send them away with FI!

Thanks for the words of encouragement, we were set to have the wedding 5 hours away from us which was totally doable.  Then FI's job moved us from Ohio to Arizona so that really put a cramp in my syle.

Me TOO!  Does your schedule run the same time there as it does in the US?  Because it comes back in one week!

@PrncssDva: I wanted caramel apples SO BAD, but it was just too much work along with all the dessert buffet baking, so I settled on caramel apple cider favors, and I'll make a small tray of mini caramel apples for the dessert buffet.

I just can't stop myself.

@PrncssDva:

That's my inspiration pic :)

@PrncssDva: That's weird, it's there on mine.  Here's the link:

@PrncssDva: They're called "Lady Apples" and they were somewhat hard to find but we were able to scour them out with a bit of research.  Remember--if your guests don't eat them right away, they're not the easiest thing to pack up in a suitcase and fly home with.  A concern if not all your guests are local :)

I am with Cole B... what does everyone have left to do?  I just want to make sure I am not forgetting anything.  This is what I can think of that I have left.

Make OOT bags

Make Programs

Put together kid activities for reception

Put Bouquets together

Finalize decorations

Pay remaining balances on all vendors

My bachelorette party is this weekend, too!

It was definitely fun, but I do feel bad that I am not the "party girl" that they were expecting me to be.  They rented a hotel room and bought a bunch of alcohol, but the only thing I drank was one shot and one Smirnoff Ice, that's it!  By the end of the night it was only myself and my maid of honor who slept in the room, which was okay because we each got our own bed, but I was under the impression that all of my bridesmaids would be staying all night.  Last minute we also found out one of my bridesmaids couldn't go.  I will have to write a venting post sometime about the issues I've had lately... :(

But I did have fun and I'm glad I got to go out and do that.

JenuineMulder  Thanks for the support.  I did end up writing a vent post just now, but it turned out EXTREMELY long.  I wouldn't blame anyone if they decided not to read it, lol!  I'm glad everyone had fun at their parties!!!!

My FMIL has been uninvolved to the MAX so the drama there is that it's hurting FIs feelings.  He's like "why doesn't she ask anything about it?  She doesn't even ask if she can help!"

I'm sad that his feelings are hurt, but at the same time it's like "do you see me on the phone with my mother every single day?  YOU want a Mom to talk to?  Take mine!"
