How do you list the bridal party in programs? Alphabetical or by order of appearance?

Invites - Where to get 'em?

ajoyfulnole — Tue, 25 May 2010 10:37:06 +0000

Good morning ladies!

I was starting to look around the web for invites, and I can't seem to find anything like what I had in mind! I ordered my Save the Dates from Zazzle (LOVE them!), but I wanted something fancier for the invitations - something embossed/embellished, and going with the monogram theme. I don't want to break the bank, but I wanted to go a little beyond DIY for the invites. I've looked at Rexcraft, Wedding Paper Divas, American Weddings, and scores of other sites, but I wonder if I need to go to a stationer? Do they still have those? Has anybody used one?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions/advice!!!!

Sneak peak!!

Finally we have some photos ppl!! So please excuse the depressed photo. our photog told us to give her "serious" faces. And you'll see the results. I'm still laughing pretty hard over here.

You mentioned that you were looking into renting folding chairs from Kirby. Do you happen to know how much they charge per chair? I am thinking about using their mahogany chairs and so far they are the only ones I have found that carries them. Thanks!

Happy wedding! I know it's belated - how did everything go?

AW: We're HOMEOWNERS!!!

cjbwifey2010 — Tue, 25 May 2010 16:04:03 +0000

FINALLY! We closed on the house yesterday! Yay! It was pretty smooth...did our final walkthrough at 9am and found a couple of things that needed to be fixed, then went over to closing at 10:30am, left there around 12:25 with these HUGE keys, and gate openers!

We were so happy! Now we can start moving things a little at a time, pick out painting colors (Sarah i'm thinking of you right now! LOL) and get this party started!

They told us that we have 3 days to switch the utilities from their name to ours, so we just went an got it done yesterday afternoon, went to the post office so we can get our mail key, and then back to the house so we can "imagine" what the rooms will look like! I feel so much better now that this process is all over. Now once work is out the way, i'll be super excited, and once the wedding is out of the way...i'll be elated!!!!!!!!!

Out of State Officiant

I'm getting married by a pastor from Virginia. Is there anything special he has to do, other than take the license to the court house in person? Has anyone else dealt with this?

Colors

jmucheech21 — Tue, 25 May 2010 23:34:12 +0000

So, Sam and I are working on colors and we just can't really come up with anything that sounds "right" for us. How did you all pick your colors? Also, anyone have any unique suggestions?

eyebrow waxing

Theresa626 — Mon, 24 May 2010 02:14:34 +0000

So, I just got my eyebrows and lip waxed as a trial for the wedding and I'm glad it's only a trial because the freaking lady burned my eyelids with her hot wax! It's been seven hours since I got it done and it looks like I took lipstick and used it as eyeshadow. Plus, it burns and stings still and my lip is puffy and red. I'm so pissed. I'm going there tomorrow to demand a refund. I went to Shear Bliss in Heathrow in case you all are wondering. I really hope it goes away very very soon because I feel really stupid. I have two months till the wedding and I hope to goodness the burn is healed by then.

Anyhow, my question is..... do you guys know of any good estheticians who are really good at doing eyebrow and lip waxing? I don't want this to happen again. Preferably in the Lake Mary area but I could go other places.

instead of bridesmaids flowers....

chic purses! Is this a great idea or am I just weird? Something like this with one or two more roses (they are removable) :

http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.146492168.jpg

I am able to have these customized through a shop on etsy (one my favorite sites in the world). my colors are green and purple so I thought green bags with purple or white roses since they are wearing purple dresses. Then I can also choose different pattern fabric that match each of my maids personalities and have their name monogramed on the insides. I thought this would be a cool way to save on floral money and give them an unique gift.

What do you girls think? Cool or weird?

by the way the guys are not wearing boutonnieres only pocket squares my FI made that clear to me hahad, he thinks they are dumb.

What other boards do you post on?

Theresa626 — Tue, 25 May 2010 21:09:42 +0000

Are you a regular poster/commenter on any other boards? If so, which ones? I comment regularly on the Catholic Board.

Engagement photography???

SivanG — Wed, 26 May 2010 01:33:03 +0000

Hello! I am searching for a photographer to take engagement photos in Orlando, and every single one I have come across starts at $300! Can anyone recommend their photographer for an engagement session that isn't $300? :)

Thanks girls!

honeymoons?

Dana1123 — Sun, 23 May 2010 18:48:14 +0000

Central Florida Brides!!

Where are you all going for your honeymoon and how much is it costing you? I'm finding it so hard to pick something since i'm so used to the tropics and my fh is from up north.. any ideas?

Day of Coordinator.

shearxhappiness — Tue, 25 May 2010 17:24:15 +0000

So I live in the Winter Haven area, and I thought I had a day of coordinator for a real good price but she hasn't called me back. I felt it wasn't professional to just not call me back, so I'm looking for someone else. Does anyone know of a professional day of coordinator on a budget price? Thanks in advance!

Linen Rental - Melbourne/Space Coast Area??

stardust21587 — Tue, 25 May 2010 13:19:06 +0000

Hi! I

thought I had decided on Kirbys in Orlando for our linen rental...good service, good price...but we're picking up and dropping off our linens to save some $$ and realized that we'd be making 2 extra trips there (from Melbourne) the weekend of the wedding, so that would kind of suck.

I was wondering if anyone knows of a place in the Melbourne area other than Special Occasions on 192 (they were rude and will not get my $$). Anyone ever used Chairs for Affairs or anything else? Ive found that some of these rental places dont even have websites, so its hard to find a good one. =P Just let me know! Thanks!!!

=D

FYI: Name changing and SS Office

Pretty Parula — Mon, 24 May 2010 13:58:57 +0000

Just thought I'd let you girls know that you can actually apply to change your name on your SS card by mail, instead of going down to the office in person. You just mail your documents and the form to the local office instead of a national office. They mail all of your documents back to you with a letter telling you that they have everything they need and that you'll get your new card in about two weeks. Hope that helps someone else out. :)

Receiving line?

BananaMustang — Mon, 24 May 2010 16:45:24 +0000

Did you have or are planning to have a receiving line? Not the bridal party necessarily, but a chance for people to come up to us (Bride & groom) after the ceremony to say congratulations....My mom is now worried that if we dont have one, we will spend all night stopping by to talk to every table and not enjoying the party (I <3 my mom by the way)....

I was thinking about instead of a receiving line, that maybe FI and I would walk down the aisle after we are announced H&W, and then we'd come back up the aisle to "exit" guests...that way we can hug everyone and people can say congrats....I've seen it done before instead of having the whole "line" thing....

Ideas? TIA!

Good Seamstress Orlando area

crushme8602 — Sat, 22 May 2010 12:28:27 +0000

Hi girls!

I am in CT, but one of my BM's lives in Orlando. She is not going to be able to make it up here before the wedding (August) so I need to ship her her dress, and have her get it altered down there. Does anyone have any recommendations as to a good seamstress/tailor down in the Orlando area?

TIA!

dyeable shoes question

hmmsarcasm — Sun, 23 May 2010 01:35:23 +0000

i'm pretty sure this was discussed a lot but what's the deal with dyeable shoes-how does it work-is it better to get a shoe dyed or to just go to different stores with a swatch and make sure you're getting the right color?

TIA!!
