Thanks for the info. I'll let you know which route I decide to take!0

bought our invitations this past weekend!! They were on sale! They are just the kind you print on, but they are super cute and were in our wedding colors!! $20 for 60 invitations!!! They were on clearance. We were like "We have to get these!!" Since our wedding is really small and not really formal, we feel these will be perfect!0

Thats awesome news!! Our invites are costing us over $200. But they will be custom designed to be exactly how I want them. and we need to order at least 80 of them.
Fiancee bought his wedding band this past weekend
oh AND we got stuff together to organize our Stag and Doe which will hopefully bring in some money to help pay for our honeymoon 0 -
Where did you get your invites from b?0

I've heard a lot of friends had good luck with Vistaprint - you can design your invites exactly how you want them, and VP tends to be pretty cheap. They also run groupons fairly regularly, so that can help too. That's the route we're planning to take - Also, you can order a free wedding planner pack from them that includes samples of the different paper types if you want to see quality, etc. You can usually upgrade to the really nice, heavy paper for a one time fee of $2-5 for the entire order. Hope that helps! 0

You know it's so funny. I was looking at Vista print yesterday after you said that. Loved it! Then, as I was looking - I received an email for a Vista print Groupon. I totally bought it $25 for $100 to spend of whatever you want. Heck to the yeah! Good loking, Sioux!

So stressed out about wedding planning! Even though we are having a tiny wedding, there is still SO much to be done.
I have no wedding dress, shoes, or jewlery.
I have no one to do hair/makeup (the lady I wanted will not cancel her 'regulars' appointments (GRRRR)
I have to desginate so many people to do this and that but I feel I should wait until it's a lot closer because they will probably forget anyway!
Not to mention my mother isn't speaking to me because we had a blowup about food!!!0 -
B, I sense a bridezilla coming out. Breathe. Do some cardio. It's a wedding. At the end of the day it's just about you & your husband. Try not to sweat the small stuff. Make up with your mom, that's important! She's your biggest fan. Let me know if you need any advice. I'd love to help out. Your wedding will be perfect & you will look beautiful...don't forget that!! : )0

B - It can be SO overwhelming! Erin is right, just breathe.
Early in my wedding planning my mother and I had a pretty huge argument as well. I wanted to get married ourside (which I am) and she wanted me to marry in a church. At the time it seemed like the biggest issue in the world, but we talked it out and now we both understand each other. I guess it's hard as an adult to have parents weighing in so heavily on our planning, I just try to remind myself how important my wedding is to them as well. Everything will fall into place. 0 -
Thanks ladies.. you are right. I need to not freak out, but the issues with my mother wont' just easliy go away. I love her to death but her control issues cause fights between us often, and not just about the wedding. *sigh* Just something i've always dealt with. WHen i was engaged before (we didn't get married and split up..) she didn't speak to me for almost a month because i wanted to get married at the beach. Apparently I was being selfish! LOL I get ONE day and I was being selfish.
We are fine now, but I have to walk on eggshells around her with my wedding planning.0 -
Awesome! Glad I could help 0

Hi ladies! I'm getting married on 9/28/13! Trying to stay motivated so that I have "Michelle Obama arms" for my wedding! For working out, I use 2 things to track my progress and to keep me motivated. I have a Nike Fuel band and I also use the Nike+ app on my iPod nano for running on the treadmill. I have a profile on Nike and it helps to see my progress and having a chart showing when I worked out etc. It makes me motivated to try to fill up my week with workouts just so I don't have a "blank" day on my chart. The fuel band is also nice because it basically calls you out on being lazy. I have a goal of 3000 points everyday and in order to hit it i HAVE TO workout. My weakness, snacking on junk my fiancé brings in the house!!0

Welcome to the group! You've picked a great group of girls to help you stay motivated. I'm actually getting married on 9/28/13 as well! Let me know if you need anything. I'm going to send you a friend request! 0

B - Have you made your invitations yet? I was thinking about getting some from Michael's as well but I wanted to know how well they print, are they easy to assemble, etc. Let me know! 0
-
No... we haven't printed them yet! Probably won't print them until about a two months before the wedding incase any information changes between now and then!! They look great and i'm sure they will print fine~0
-

It's not September but I am getting married 5th November this year.. Im a size 16/18 now more towards 16 and I bought a size 12 dress. I've lost 12lbs up to now just got another 68 to go.
I can't wait I used to be a size 8/10 when I was younger and felt great I want to be that size again.. And as im 5'3 it's within the healthy weight mark so not too skinny.
I could do with some support.. In fact a lot of support!0 -

Stag and Doe is a fundraiser for the engaged couple. People buy a ticket to attend. Than you sell drinks their, you sell raffle tickets for prizes, we'll have lots of games people can pay to play with prizes as well. Hopefully we have lots of people atten and we can get some money to help pay for our wedding or honeymoon 0 -
Double post. Sorry!0

Omg! I need a buddy or something! My wedding is September 1. And I ordered my dress one size too small! Eek!
My goal is to alter is one size smaller too, so I have some work to do. I think 30lbs is reasonable, but 40lbs would be amazing.0 -
