Weddingbee boards

There's just so much to do still and I don't know who's gonna do it.  It's mostly the day-of stuff that I worry about.

Like who's gonna put the bouts on the guys?  I asked FMIL last night if she could arrive early to do that and she said she didn't want to show up early.  I asked other people and they are like, "I think the guys can do it themselves".  Umm, no I don't think so.  These are guys that don't even know how to tie a tie.  How will they know that the bout goes over the button hole and that it is pinned from behind?  And how will they actually do that themselves?

My mom freaks me out all the time by saying stuff like "Who's gonna watch the gifts, they are going to get stolen.  Cards get stolen all the time."  And "what if the flowers aren't delivered, they have to get to the right place."  Then I say, well my purse is going to be left out all night, is someone going to steal that too?  And she thinks that someone WILL actually take it and that I shouldn't bring a purse with my camera and phone in it.

And then everything else is pissing me off too.  Caterer was supposed to send the final bill today.  He did, but it was all wrong.  The fees on there were old ones and he way overcharged us.  Then he never mentioned that there was $1/person charge for wine glasses.  And we have to have that charge for every person even though like 20 people are underage and many elderly guests won't drink wine.  Freaking extra "surprise" fees are making me so mad.  We don't have any money for this!

Then I've been trying to get ahold of the caterer all day now and he keeps telling me he sent the quote to my email but it has never showed up.  he sent one email without any attachments even! 

Additionally, my venue was supposed to email me the map showing the layout of the tables today so that I can give it to all the other vendors who need to decorate and lay out placecards.  The venue never sent it and I even sent them a reminder email this morning asking for it!  Now I won't be able to get it out to everyone else this weekend!

jeez, I don't need all this right now.  I just want to be relaxed for the wedding day next weekend but it doesn't look like it's going to happen.  I'm not even excited at all for this and everyone is all surprised and like "oh you should be excited, it's so close".  Well don't they realize they all suck all the excitement right out of me?  Am I just too sensitive or something?

i've got two friends who will help set up the placecards and gift table stuff at the reception.  But I could tell they were already not too thrilled about that and I don't want to ask them to do more. 

I guess I could try to ask more people to help.  But I don't have that many close friends and people are always all annoyed when I ask them to help at all.

the venue does have security.  but that is to protect themselves - to guard their artwork and prevent unwanted people from coming in.  That wouldn't help my mother any, she thinks it is the staff that will steal!

The coordinator at our venue is something else.  She's been terrible to us ever since she got the job back in January and the lady we had signed with was fired.  She's the last person I'd trust with putting out decorations and placecards.  I had asked her about their staff doing that sort of stuff one time, and she said that we had to have a family member, friend, or DOC do that.  That the venue wouldn't do it.  She said we could pay extra to rent the room beginning early in the morning so that I could come in and put those things out!  yeah right!
