August 2012 Weddings

Holy crap things are getting close!

An update while I have a moment with all my craziness!

FMIL and I are working on assembling the decor for the altar.
We need to put ribbon on the flower wand for the flower girl, but it's all assembled and done otherwise.
I'm in the process of finalizing details for the cake and with the officiant.
I'm working on finishing up the gifts I'm making for the BMs.
MOH and I are setting up a mani/pedi appointment for Saturday.
I have my makeup trial on Saturday too.

My bachelorette party was this past Saturday and it was great! We did this group outing to a group interactive puzzle type thing. It's hard to explain, but you can read about it here: http://www.5-wits.com/index.aspx 
We did the one called espionage. 
We walked around some shops in the area (bought my undies for the dress!) then went to a hibachi grill for dinner. Then we all went back to the BMs house for hanging out and games and such. It was nice.

I still need to finish making my guestbook. I still need to find a gift for my mom. I need to write my vows!! That's pretty much all I can think about because I'll get insanely more stressed. I'm sure everyone is experiencing a hectic schedule, but I hope all is going well for you ladies!

    Oh yeah I need to pack for the honeymoon too. We leave the day after the wedding, so in all the craziness I gotta pack my bags too! I found out I have the Friday before the wedding (I'm the 19th) off from work, so I might be able to use that day.
