Packing....

bells24412

Anyone start packing for your HM yet? I have thought about it since I already bought a lot of stuff so I don't have to do it at the last minute...

Has anyone else thought about doing it?

Bells you are so cute!!  Not yet lol I am probably going to do it the week before the wedding when I am off.  I don't feel like walking around my suitcase for 2 months ;)  Our house is very tiny!!

I want to pack! But we have a couple weekend trips planned between now and the wedding so I cant yet!

I say go for it if you have stuff to stash away for the hm and wont be using your suitcase prior :-)

I've already started my packing list, does that count? 

My mom bought me a huge new suitcase for my birthday so I'm dying to use it.  I have 2 weeks worth of stuff I need to fit, so that's going to be a HUGE challenge. 

I'm a notorious overpacker!!  I like to have options haha.

be careful they charge so much money when you are over your weight limit now!

I won't be using my suitcase, i don't think, and I have an extra bedroom that the suitcase will be in, so I think I may as well do it....plus all my new clothes look so nice and I am just tempted to wear them! lol.

LADY - I know, ughhhh!!!  I'm just gonna have to suck it up and wear items multiple times.  Andrew is the complete opposite, so I may have to split my stuff up into both of our suitcases.

We went on a week vacation to OBX the other year and he literally brought a plastic grocery bag of clothes for the week.

This scares me!! I am like you k888 i love to overpack crap just in case. I am flying American and the over weight limit is crazy! I think I may have to weigh my suitcase before!

Oh, hell no. I will not be packing until the week before the wedding. If I pack too early, I start adding stuff to the bag that I don't need to fill up the space. I also will need my suitcase for Vegas. Plus, I don't even have the safari gear yet (should be interesting buying that since I have absolutely NO idea what to buy . . . Mauritius is easy - swimsuits and coverups).

I have not even thought about packing for our HM.  We are staying a few extra days on the island as our HM.  I am still looking for some new outfits to wear while we are there. I may have to have a separate suitcase from FI with all the stuff I am wanting to take.

I've started a list of clothes & suits I want to bring in my head. I'll actually start packing a couple days before the wedding. I want to wear some of my stuff between now and then.

FI always packs extra stuff for me since I can never fit everything into my own suitcase!  We still have several smaller trips before the HM though, so no packing for me yet.  But, apparently we can only bring a 30lb bag onto our small plane.  WTF!?  only 30 lbs?  I mean, I guess it's good that I don't plan to wear anything except bathing suits and sundresses, but really?  I feel like my purse weighs more than that sometimes.  Sheesh.

MeaganR12

hahaha...haven't even thought of this yet. Although I suppose I could since I'm bringing my big suitcase on the HM and I use a smaller one for weekend trips. I feel like I'm going to be wearing stuff between now and the HM though.

We are leaving for our HM two days after the wedding, so I'm definitely not going to pack until then! I envy all of you organized ladies! If I started packing too early I'd either forget stuff thinking I already packed it or pack wayyy too much! 

michelle11988

I have started thinking about it but I won't pack until probably the day after the wedding/day before we leave.  I'm notorious for overpacking stuff I don't need, packing the hour before we leave, and then forgetting to bring underwear.  I even make a list and I always forget something!  I am going out with FI this weekend though to buy new suitcases on sale at Macys.

mekiakoo

Heck no lol. I need clothes to wear until the honeymoon! Haha

I haven't started packing for the HM yet, but I've definitely started buying stuff! I got a few new dresses, new sunglasses, and a sun hat (dunno why i got that, it just looked like a HM kind of thing to get haha). I still need to get a new swimsuit and some new lingerie. I'm going to take a day of work in June and just hit up the shops. I'm really excited - I love an excuse to get new clothes!

LADY324

I am a dork and I am trying not to wear any of the new stuff I bought for the HM before the HM.  I want my clothes to be brand new
