Overwhelmed..

I'm so overwhelmed with getting all of the addresses for my invitations... How does everyone do this?!?! I'm stressing over it, and FI's mother hasn't even given me a final list for her side.... AHHH. I have 8 weeks until the wedding... and they're supposed to be sent out BY six weeks right? =(

    I don't think I would go after 6 weeks. Ask your mother in law that you need the list by the end of the weekend/or by tuesday of next week. To cut time (and I know some think this is terrible ettiquite...) I found a really pretty font and printed out clear lables. I figured that whenever I get an invite, the envelope goes straight into the trash can so I didn't mind not hand writting them. I would start using an excel spreadsheet or word document to keep track of names.  and then just start printing, it will save you a ton of time! I wish I still had mine saved I would totally send the layout to you. Good luck and try not to stress too much, trust me you'll look back and hate yourself for stressing over all the little things.  Enjoy this time! :)

    agreed, print out on a clear label in a nice font (saves money AND is quick!) and talk to your future MIL and tell her if she does not get a full list to you by "x" date that people not on the list will not be coming to the wedding.  maybe then she will get the point...
