Checks/Progress/Panic :) (PIP)

I haven't posted as much, but I've been reading every day and trying to keep up.  You girls certainly keep the board busy during the day!  I sort of feel like I have nothing to add since it's so much slower in the evenings. 

Anyway, does my countdown really say 45 days?  It can't possibly be that soon! I can feel myself getting anxious as our vendors are getting in touch to finalize details and payments.  Our RSVP date was Friday.  We've heard from exactly half of FI's side and his mom called tonight to ask for invites for a few more family members.  Ahhh!!  We need final numbers in order to finalize chair rentals.  We also need numbers to determine the number of tables we'll need in order to know how many centerpieces to purchase.  I told FI I don't care how many people come/don't come, but that we really need to know this week since our order can't be changed after next Friday.  

I received part of FI's gift last week.  I ordered a picture from Indigo Nights (love them!) and a "game over" shirt.



I also got my dad's picture in, to be replaced with a picture of us at the wedding later.



I picked up my dress Monday! I forgot to take new pictures, but we went with a french bustle and the bra cups worked, so nothing to have been worry about there.

My wedding band (you know, from December 31st!!!) is supposed to be in Wednesday.  If it isn't, I might go bridezilla.  I feel like my jeweler must be in business with Sarah's dress shop.

I think that's it as far as new developments go.  Can't wait to see a flurry of posts and pictures in the next couple weeks from all these weddings!

  • I feel the same about posting at night...dang work won't let me on TK anymore!  :(  Congrats on all your checks!  I can't believe you're getting so close too!  I'm so sorry about your ring...that's crazy!  Vibes that it's in Wednesday when they say...otherwise, go crazy on them!
  • Great checks!  I LOVE FI's pic. He will love that.  And the pic for your dad is great.  Sorry to hear about your ring.  You know what happened with mine.  I finally ordered off Blue Nile and had it 2 days later in the right size AND it was the right ring.  
  • Ya'll can always post in the evenings!  I'm always stalking the board :)

    Great checks!  I still can't get over how many ladies we have that are SO CLOSE!  It's so exciting for everyone!

    Me too! I am at work a lot of nights now, so I will be around in the evenings :)

    I know 45 days seems like just around the corner, but you will get things done. I am sure you will hear back from more people and hopefully get the rest of your invites out!

  • Great progess! Hopefully they'll finally have your ring ready! And I am so looking forward to all the post wedding photos that will be coming in these next couple weeks too! I'm west coast time so I'm just getting off work, evenings are my knot time too so post away! I can't keep up with all the daytime chatting from work either...boo.
  • SUch great checks! I hope your ring situation gets worked out quickly. I feel like so many of us have had issues, what is with these jewelers!?
  • I had to post and run.. FI was craving frozen custard after all the invitation/guest list drama. Amazing how a little bit of chocolate makes everything better. =)

    I have prepared FI for me to throw a minor fit at the jeweler.  So far, we've been very understanding and flexible with it.  Our wedding is getting too close to keep putting it off though.  I'll have to keep Blue Nile in mind.  I ordered my pearls from them, but my ering has stones that I'm trying to match exactly with the wedding band.  Another local jeweler said they could make me one, but I was trying to stick with the same people so I knew they'd be a set. Ugh!  You'd think they'd want to do a better job to keep their customers with how "bad' business is right now.

    Awesome checks!!!  Keep us updated because starting on friday, I'll only be on during my lunch break and at night :(  I'm having to cover for my manager who will be on vaca!!

    Seriously, not to jack the thread...but with the dress shop...OMG, if my shiiiit is not in tomorrow like they said it will be after it was supposed to be in on the 22nd, I am going to freak and literally cuss them out.  Seriously Once in a Life Tyme Bridal....you will be getting a once in a life time show from me.  I hope to make them be so afraid that they are freaking out that I have some type of freaking taser or Louisville slugger in my large ass purse!  I have been more than nice and apparently, the only way to get anything is to be a bitch.  So, moral of the story, if it's not in on wednesday, literally go bridezilla.  It's the only way to get what you need.
  • Awesome checks, and if being nice hasn't worked (which it seems it hasn't), go bridezilla.  Nothing wrong w/ that!!!!!!  So good luck.
