Let's see, I got my garters! This was something that was not important to me in anyway at all, and when we went to ACMoore the other day, we managed to find a set of 2 on the clearance rack. Originally over $20, I spent $5 on both. Sweet!
I tried my dress on for the first time since getting it- and since I have lost close to 30 lbs, it is now HUGE on me. The cap sleeves bag (they were too tight before), my mom was able to reach her whole arm down inside the dress (not at all possible before), I don't have a tummy at all in it, and it's looks downright awesome on me. I was so worried before this that I had made a mistake in buying the wrong dress because I was self concious about the way I looked, but now that I have lost weight and it looks so good on me, those doubts are out the window- I know I am going to look awesome in it the day of
Only thing I am not looking forward to is alteration costs!
I was lucky enough that another Knottie/close friend still had her bustier/bra corset, and she had me try it on the other day when I saw her. It fit, and so she said it's mine! Now I don't have to spend money on one (still have to get Spanx and a crinoline, though). Thanks Jax! (She also gave me some of her other wedding leftovers, and now I don't have to worry about cocktail flowers arrangements!)
We went through all the gifts I have gotten so far, and surprisingly have quite a few. Thank goodness for Bath and Body Works sales (I got my girls their PocBacs and holders, 3 for each girl) and Marshall's (notecards, postits, nice pens, etc). I really am trying to get each girl useful stuff that I know is going to get used, rather than buying them something that is cute and pretty but will sit around collecting dust. I think we are doing pretty well so far!
Finally, MrsJax09 also helped me out with...my timeline! Its all set out now, including the boys and what they need to do in the morning. She was awesome and gave me some great tips that I would have never thought about, which now means my timeline is organized, ready for vendors, and I don't have to stress about it anymore!
