African American Weddings

Ahhhhhh! Get the heck out of here!

I just caught sight of my ticker and freaked the heck out! So excited, but so nervous. Love him, but hate this feeling of not having EVERYTHING done. Wooooow. I need to breathe...and work on this cardbox...and seating chart. Which one first? *end vent...start serenity prayer*

    Wowziers one month and 4 days. I am so excited for you. I am sure your wedding will be on one of Cincy's daily gorgeous weddings. Breathe, relax and get ready for the time of you life. I would say the card box first I am sure you will have some straggler invitees that slow poke sending their response back!

    I need to update my ticker! I'm not accepting anymore responses. Only waiting to hear back on what the "new" plus-ones want to eat.

    Thanks for your advice though. I really do need to breathe. I am afraid not everything will come together...already not happy with some of the ways the plans changed, but too late to "fix" things. My advice to anyone...stick with YOUR original vision or whatever makes YOU happy. It's hard to remain excited when you are executing someone else's vision when you don't really want it.

    Thanks y'all. And of course I am not looking forward to the cardbox (not that type of crafty) so I ended up working on shower thank you cards instead. I'm thinking a bubble bath, The Game, and a little studying may be the way to go though.

    1st CONGRATS I am so looking forward to seeing how your day turns out for you! I know it's going to be a gorgeous wedding. You have impecable style.

    2nd attack that cardbox ASAP b/c it's going to be tedious

    3rd don't hold off on seating arrangements either, if you can dabble a little in both i'd say go for it. I know that is going to be annoying

    4th SO HAPPY FOR YOU

    I couldn't have said it better myself, Eagles!  I wish there were some things that I would have stuck to my guns on.  We are not having the biggest wedding (about 115 to 120 people). but if we would have stuck to our guns and not let our mothers guilt us into having a bigger wedding, it really would have been scaled back a lot!

    Thanks all! I have decided to find some fabric for the cardbox and have FI or my daddy do the cutting of the box. I will put the fabric on it and am planning to ask my super crafty friend to do one of her fancy ribbon thingies and maybe some embellishments. So it will be a semi-DIY. I'm about a third of the way done with the seating chart though which is good.
