I'm starting to feel the stress of the wedding and it just hit me yesterday. My wedding invitations should be here any day. That means I get to start writing those all out and stuffing all the envelopes. I know Dave will help with the stuffing, but you can't read his writing so Iwill be doing all of the writing :( As we were talking about this...it dawned on me that I need to get the map to put in the invitations...where do I do that? Everyone always has cute little shrunken down maps from MapQuest...how do I do that? Then I want the card that we put in for our website so that people can go find out info about the hotel and the wedding itself. I need to go buy those and then figure out how I am going to print them on our crummy printer at home!! That's a lot to do and I wanted to start working on these asap so that I don't have to do them all at once. Like I would like to work on a few here and a few there...but it seems like all of a sudden time is going by so fast.
I got my flowers ordered too so that felt like a stress off my shoulders, but now the girls want to pick shoes. Thank god Shasta reminded me that we need the shoes before alterations. We have to have our dresses in the end of August for alterations and the shoes take 6-8 weeks to get here and get dyed. Hmm guess we should order those. Well some of the girls want heels, some need flats, some like this shoe but not that shoe. I really don't care if they are all the same shoes so long as they are the same color! So I want to schedule a day where we can go down there and have the girls that are here try on shoes so we can order them...but do you think I can get the three girls here together on the same day...of course not! They all have very different schedules!! So that is starting to feel like a stress.
Jewelry...I gotta find jewelry for the girls. Problem is I'm not good with that kind of stuff. I pick very plain things...I need to find something that is going to look good with the dresses and match the girls. I found one at David's Bridal, but hello it's like $40 X 6 bridesmaids? I don't think so! I would like my bridesmaids to go with me and look at this stuff. You know I had always envisioned us having days where we all go together have a nice lunch and then go look at wedding stuff. That has yet to happen. I really thought days like that would be fun...I really want them to come look at dresses or shoes and pick out jewelry with me but not so much.
Gifts for my bridesmaids! I really want to do these cute little photo albums for the girls...problem is I don't have enough pictures of me with all the girls. Chrissy, Kayla, Teela I'm good with. Monica I have a few...Shasta I don't have near enough and my sister I have like one or two! So that leaves me with either doing different presents for each of them or trying to find pictures of all of us together. I have a great idea for the one for Chrissy so I really don't want to have to do different presents. But then will the other bridesmaids feel like their present isn't good enough because it's not the same?? Any other good ideas on gifts for bridesmaids??
I planned way ahead and then it feels like it's all the little things that are creeping up on me. All the things that I said oh it will be nice to just have to do the little things during the summer and right before the wedding but all the big stuff will be out of the way. Uh it was the big stuff that seemed like it was easy and all the little stuff that is making me want to pull my hair out!!
Ahh...the joys of wedding planning

I can help with addressing the invitations if you would like. Try not to stress too much. It will all come together. You have so much done already, so you are way ahead of the game.
The catering hall should have directions (all shrunken and all) to put in your invitations...ask them.
Check out a place like Claire's...they have really cute inexpensive jewelery for weddings. I always get my stuff there since chance are I only wear it once.
Good Luck! Steph is right it will all come together!
I love the flowers from your post on 4/20. I'm also getting married during the fall (Nov 16th) and thou I have most of the stuff done, I still don't have the flowers... I have NO CLUE what to do with that. I'm not a flower girl! I hate flowers... but oh well, weddings have to have flowers.
Anyway, just a comment!
Hope you dont get too stressed and enjoy this summer!

k so let me think..i got my map thingers from ummm nevada blue, for like 50 bucks for probably 100, but you can just buy postcard paper and then shrink down a map, actually i bet i could have my friend make us some kind of map to print on post card paper.
next crap, i forgot, uhhh oh gifts, i bought coach keychains (you can do cheaper) that were metal and then went to that things remembered place and for a really good price had em all engraved with my wedding date and their name, then i made very small photo/scrapbook albums, a mix cd and like a candle or something.
Wedding planning must be so stressful... Always makes me glad that I had a small wedding ;)
But I am sure it will be all worth it.
Good luck!!!!! And try not to stress too much, I am sure it will all be just fine :)
