When I told everyone in here that the wedding party was planning our bachelor & bachelorette parties for 9/10/11 and our co-ed shower for 9/11/11? Well, they sent the invites for the shower in the mail and they were post marked 9/8/11. And for the my bachelorette party they called and/or texted people the day before. The stag party was held over an hour away and not many showed. Found out that many couldn't find the way to the stag party.
I am very happy to have had any kind of party at all, just felt bad that the guest that did come to the shower yesterday (not many) dropped everything last minute to attend.
