Weddingbee boards

I feel  lazy. I dont' really have much to do but wait until the new year! Does anyone have things they are working on that I possibley didn't think of?!

Possibly, woops. I promise I can spell!!!

That's how I feel @Marci 607. I just sent my save the dates this saturday, and i have 2 bridesmaids left that need to order dresses. We are making the invites ourselves, So i have been slowly printing some of them. Like direction and accomodation cards RSVPS I feel, it's a nice break, but i can't wait to start pulling everything together after the new year.

It's so crazy to think about for us our next wedding we have to go to is our own, then 5 others the rest of the summer!!!

 My dress arrives next Friday (the 11th), and I have my first fitting. I am SO nervous about it.  We are also meeting with the seamstress who is going to make my bridesmaids' dresses and finalizing the style and fabric options so she can get started this month. I really wanted to see my dress on me before I settled on bridesmaid dresses.

We are also setting up our registries this month.

@futuremrsreed when do they suggest you bring your dress in for hte first alteration? Or when do you think is the latest? I would like to get in a little bit better shape. I have a size 4 dress that fits me like a glove. But i just need a hem. That is the only area i am lost in!

Oh I expect to leave at least three months for alterations. I also plan to be losing weight, but my dress has a corset back so I am not as concerned as I would be otherwise.  This fitting is more for me to see the dress in the appropriate size and appropriate color and with the bolero jacket (which I ordered from another store). I really wanted a dress with long sleeves but nobody makes them anymore, and I was NOT happy with all of the strapless options, and a bolero jacket is not exactly in my dream wedding vision. This fitting will give me to opportunity to make sure this is what I want to do, while still leaving me time to have a custom gown made if I am just not happy. I never got that "The One" feeling with any dress I tried on, and I tried on 50+. They will probably start the actual alterations in March, about three months out.

Oh, and we are going to try to set up our cake tasting this month, but the bakery I want to bake the cake doesn't take reservations more than six months out, so we will probably have to do that in January.

Don't worry @JoonBee I was planning on taking the month off too! :-)

Oh yeah, the honeymoon. Forgot about that. I had planned to finalize a destination (or destinations) this month and book next month.

But, I changed my mind. FI has been feeling left out, so I put the whole honeymoon on his plate and told him to surprise me, just make sure we go somewhere that I need a passport. I am actually quite excited to see what he comes up with!
