    Ok well I'm not married yet BUT make sure you eat something the day of! You'll probably be nervous and not feel like eating but make sure you have something! Don't sweat it if things don't go perfectly just enjoy every minute because it'll be over before you know it! Congrats on being so close! Smile

    JUST VENTING HERE FOR A MOMENT

    Oh For the love of everything!! I thought I was the only one receiving blank RSVPs.
    We had called and emailed and everything and few responded back, so we have decided to cut off the guest list and if we did not receive the RSVP, they will not be coming to our wedding.  Unfortunate, but guessing who will and will not attend is expensive.  

    I sent an email to all of those who RSVPd to our wedding on Sunday to make sure they were still coming, and I am so glad I did.  One of my best friends since kindergarten is not going to come now....how nice that she did not tell me.  

    I have a BM who does not drive either and she asked me if I could pick her up for the wedding rehearsal and day of....Really???  She has been the least help, I had my bridal shower and she did nothing to help out, she did not purchase food, participate in the preparations, absolutely nothing.  However, she did have her BF come into the shower and ask for a plate of food, WHO DOES THAT???

    Enough of my venting, if it wasn't so close to our wedding day, I would find someone else.  This is insane.

    Don't freak out!  I have 3 days left until my wedding.  Surprisingly, I am the most calm ever during the whole wedding process right now.  That might change on Friday at the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner but so far I'm feeling pretty good. I'm even working until tomorrow at noon.  Im all packed for the honeymoon, wedding night, and night before the wedding. I'm trying to take the approach that I really can't change anything thats left.  It is what it is at this point.  I can't stand waiting until the last minute for anything so everything is ppretty much done.

    Regarding RSVPs.....lexakelley


    By the way, we had people that didnt put their names on the response cards and didn't have return addresses on the envelopes. 

    Our response date was two weeks ago and our wedding is Saturday.  We got two regrets this week and a couple last weekend. 

    We also have a couple that said regrets and then picked a meal.  What is that supposed to mean?

    I dont get people!
