    I don't see any recent posts and I thought I would see more! Are you all freaking out like me or are you in a good place with most everything done? I'm working on DIY invitations for 150 guests, graduating this Saturday and hoping to get them all done by Saturday too! Ahhhh!!

    yes, i am freaking out. well periodically i freak out that things just won't come together, won't look how i want it to etc. we had our sample table yesterday and i'm unsure about flowers. i posted something here, but no responses. so that kinda sucked. tomorrow is our tasting. parents have been here all week which is kinda stressful in general. overall things are okay. prepping for 2nd shower, bachelorette, 2nd fitting, starting dance lessons, finalizing cake, sending out invites etc. invites currently getting calligraphied but i can't wait for them to go out. a lot of our plans depends on numbers and we have no idea how many are going to show up since we're 75% out of towners - we could 100 or 300. no clue.

    I'm just holding my breath until the last day of school on the 21st...then off to my bachelorette party!!  I've been waiting on a lot of wedding stuff until then.  Lots to do!

    I'm hoping to get invitations out by next weekend.  We'll see if it happens?

    Also desperately awaiting the arrival of my dress!  Any day now...

    love2lol    August 14, 2010   getting married in Hudson Valley, NY

    I'm August too! Almost nothing done though and I don't really have a good excuse except FI and I are REALLY indecisive basically. ;)

    We are working on the DIY invites and HOPE to get them out by this week but it probably won't be until next week.

    I have a sample dress that's 4 sizes too big for me and I haven't had a fitting yet (although I did have a conversation with a seamstress about it LOL).

    We JUST booked our DJ.

    We haven't decided on a photographer yet.

    Did I mention, all of it is being planning long-distance. So I think I might be here to make other people feel better about the progress they are making because you are all certainly way ahead of me. 

    I'm in denial a little bit that is happening so soon LOL but I'm sure things will turn out just fine.

    I'm getting butterflies!  I'm so excited for all of us!  I met with the cake lady, marriage prep people from church, the music leader for our church service, and will have looked at mattresses all this week!  There's so much to do all of a sudden!  I can't believe we only have to more months to go!  EEEE!

    Here!

    Getting super excited!!! Went for my first fitting last Saturday and everything fits great minus at the boobies. of course! Next fitting on 6/26 then pick up on 7/10.

    Cake order pretty much set.

    BM dressed due in middle of July.

    FG dresses should be done by end of next week.

    Wedding brew #1 has been bottled and we'll start labeling soon. LOVE the way our labels came out!! Everyone we showed them to thought they were the coolest! =) Made brew batch #2 last night. After we bottle that we'll be making batch #3 then we have to make a Loganberry beverage for the 21 and under.

    Everything else is really minor stuff. Like making the programs and working on the wine bottles for centerpieces.

    And oh FI bought his suit!!! for 37 buckaroos!!! Yup $37! Macys was running a ahmazing sale and through a GC I got at my bridal shower we picked FI up a really snazzy Calvin Klein suit for 37 bucks!

    Grooms men & RB ties have been ordered and shipped out.

    I feel like we're in a good place. Laughing

    I just got my invitations and they were HORRIBLE, I had to send them back and now wait another two weeks to get them done again.   I'm a little nervous about that...

    Wondering what else is going to go wrong.  This was the first thing gone wrong. And its also the first of the vendors to supply the product/service.

    I am here. Just trying to get my Sh** together and not be TOO stressed out. Though I had a dream last night where I strangled my mother, so I think it is safe to say I am officially STRESSED OUT! :-)

    Trying to finish our ceremony write-up, just have the vows left.

    I feel like everything is going well enough, but I am worried I'm forgetting something that needs to be done. We have our marriage license and are finishing the wording for the ceremony, so I guess that's all that really needs to be done. :)

    @ Everyone - Although I feel for you guys, it's kind of relieving that I'm not the only one who feels like this. Congrats to all you college grads!! The next few weeks will be long and hard but let's enjoy it! Can't wait to get married!! Woohoo!!! :)

    Our invitations went out Saturday and we are starting to get RSVPs.  It feels so real now.

    As for the to-do list, all we really need to get done at this point is write vows, plan honeymoon activities, assemble out of towner bags, finish our timeline, track RSVPs, and figure out logistics like set up and clean up of the reception.  There are a few other small things like purchase gifts for each other, but nothing major left.  I am sure I will STILL be stressed for the month leading up to it, even though we've done most of the tasks ahead of time!

    So excited, ladies!

    08.28 here. Not freaking out – but starting to feel a bit more stress than normal. Mostly because all the parents (and some aunts/uncles) are FREAKING OUT that we haven’t sent out our invitations yet. It annoys me because the people specifically b*tching to my mom about me not having the invites out yet have ALREADY booked their hotel/air….so, what’s the worry? They all know they are getting an invite, and they’ve known it for a year lol, sheesh.

    So, we’re trying to get the invitations all put together this weekend, but I don’t think that will happen. My “goal” is to finish them and mail them by the 15th, we’ll see.

    It now feels we just have “little” things to do – but, there are like a million little things to do. Pick out songs, get flower situation under control (ok, that’s a big item), gifts, print up programs, menu cards, escort cards. eek!

    Hello everyone!!

    I can't believe how quickly it is coming up..sheesh!  I had my first fitting last night and I am BEYOND excited...I was really freaking out and getting like, angry stressed all of May and really up until last week haha..but now I'm just bubbling over with excitment and am having a hard time concentrating on anything!

    I am so over school right now, thank goodness I will be done (for the summer) as of next Wednesday!

    As for things left to do, basically just some prepping some odds and ends for decorations, finalize the music, meet with our officiant tomorrow, and...yep...its crazy how much things have come together over the past few weeks!! :D

    PaperCrane       Married!

    Just had my Shower on Sunday and I'm meeting with the seamstress and the cake lady tonight!! Catering is booked. Hairdresser, Florist, and Photog are booked, Invitations are bought but not printed.... now to find a rental company for the tent, chairs, and tables.

    The big thing I'm stressing out about now is our iPod DJ playlists... which will be hard to create without a computer at home 

    you don't really need music at a wedding do you? @,@

    I'm here, too! Feeling like I haven't done nearly enough yet. My next step is to send invites, which will go out by the end of next week. We also still need a cake and music, to decide on a few decorational items, complete our programs, and get my dress fitted. We've had our date set since April, and I feel like there just hasn't been enough time! And before I can get to all of that- I'm moving next week and starting a new job the week after. I'll be SO glad when summer is over and all this planning is behind me!
