This weekend I had a series of impuse buys for WR stuff and now I just feel like I have a room full of stuff and have no idea what I am going to do with it all. Have any of you done this? I have no idea what got into me!!  I even ordered our invitations!!!

    I definitely had a few impulse buys.. I bought some hideous programs at the Wedding Shoppe on a post-dress-purchase high lol.. Luckily I only burned $25 on those & am happy with the rest of my impulse buys!

    OH ya! I did this with my vail and hairpiece.  It just looked so good with the dress and I couldn't say no.  But I know (after the fact) that I could of gotten them cheaper.

    Oh I have times when I want to do this... But I'm living on a really tight budget so I can't afford it :( I have to take the purse strings (Aka mom who is funding the wedding) whenever I go wedding shopping!

    Yup you are not alone!  I splurged and bought a vintage necklace and a brooch for my hairpiece this weekend - and I hadn't even started thinking about wedding jewelry yet.  I have a dress fitting Thursday, hopefully they look good with it!!

    I've definitely had spurts of buying WR stuff too!

    A couple weeks ago, I bought earrings, a necklace and I'm in the process of buying my crinoline and long line bra from a couple people on craigslist :-)

    Now thanks to my mother getting addicted to Vistaprint and wanting to create my invitations on there.....we might be doing that too :-P

    Yeah I'm guilty too, at least I'm using all the stuff I bought, makes me feel better anyway.  Although I did buy a stamp I thought I wanted for our invitations but then found one I liked better.  FI joked I shouldn't buy anything off Etsy without consulting him first hehehe

    Whew...thanks ladies. Now I don't feel as bad. I ordered our invites without even knowing a ceremony time. I guessed the time, check with the church today and it works so I feel MUUUUCH better. LOL
