I finally tried on my dress yesterday! I haven't seen it since April! She did a bit of bodice work and cut the train off for me, so it just falls nicely to the floor. I paid for the alterations, but I left it with my friend because she's going to add extra colored beads to my dress. So I had it briefly, haha.
I also decided that my centerpieces needed a little bit of height. I went to Michaels yesterday to see if they had any old looking books for a reasonable price (I wasn't holding my breath). It just so happened that they had a whole bunch of them on clearance for 70 percent off!! They only ended up being 5.39 each (from an original price of 18). I can't believe how much I lucked out on that, because I didn't really think I was going to find something affordable. They were the perfect added touch too.
I also printed out the images I'm going to use for the BM gifts. I'm getting concerned that I might have to find a backup plan for the other part of their gift. I ordered pendant necklaces from Groupon back on the 7th. I still haven't received any shipping confirmation. I already sent their customer service a note, but I have to wait until a week after the possible ship date to contact them again (which will be this Friday). I'm worried that they won't get here in time if they ever do ship. There's no way I could find three of a similar product for the price I paid Groupon. Might be back to the drawing board.
The gift snafu aside, I'm feeling pretty good about things! Still have quite a few things to do, but just gotta keep on chugging, I guess.
