Tuesday Night Chat
Hey ladies, what is everyone up to tonight?
I am trying to finalize the seating chart and I am going crazy!

Re: Tuesday Night Chat
Maybe in a few minutes but not right this second.
Maybe working on reception songs too if all goes well.

Maybe I'll convince him we need to work on our vows...
I'm not really doing anything WR tonight. Seating charts/escort cards are on my horizon, but I'm still missing a huge chunk of our RSVPs (deadline is on Friday) so I obviously have been putting it off.
FI is gone for work for the night, the kids have been in bed for about an hour, and I just finished cleaning up so I'll probably try to find something on tv and go to bed in an hour or so.
I say I'm going to go to bed in an hour or so, but guaranteed I'll be looking at the clock in 3 hours going "Oh sh*!, I'm gonna be tired tomorrow.". I tend to turn into a major night hawk when FI is gone for work, which is usually 3-4 nights a week, so I generally end up tired most of the time... except for late at night, obviously.
[QUOTE]I'm destressing after meeting with the DJ. He was horrible and stressed both Fi and me out. At one point he was almost yelling at us and telling us the layout we wanted for the reception was wrong. The bridezilla in me almost came out. I'm home now with a drink in hand!

Wow, it stressed me out just reading this.
Are you trusting him or still doing your own thing?
[QUOTE]Normally we have <strong>dance lessons</strong> tonight but this is a break week. FI are just sitting back and enjoying eachother's company tonight. Maybe I'll convince him we need to work on our vows...

<div>We are doing our own thing! When we left we started calling family and friends and basically taking a poll to make sure we weren't weird or wrong. Basically I want to break up the reception a little bit by doing the cake later in the evening. The DJ said that it was wrong and we need to do everything right after dinner. That is not what either of us are used to or what we want. We stood our ground to the DJ. (I hope that makes sense. I'm still getting over it.)</div>

I'm starting to go crazy with nothing wedding related to do! Everything is done except running the seating chart by FMIL, which won't happen until Sunday.
[QUOTE]Nothing much to do...started assembling our programs, but ran out of glue dots AND double-sided adhesive :( <strong>I'm starting to go crazy with nothing wedding related to do!</strong> Everything is done except running the seating chart by FMIL, which won't happen until Sunday.

I don't know why I feel like I constantly have something to do - even when I really don't. I still have 29 items on my to-do list but it's stuff like breaking in wedding shoes. My last two biggies truly are the seating chart and escort cards then I'm done.

I did this twice while making my invitations. I understand the disappointment!

Why is the DJ telling you how to do things? Do what you two want to do, that is all that matters. he should be working with yall to make the reception perfect and how yall want it to be

I know, right? I just want to get it done in one shot! I refuse to make a run to Walmart just for glue dots. :)

I think we feel that way because we've all been doing wedding related tasks for months!
Have you already done the seating, but not the chart and cards? Or have you not done any seating at all? I did my chart on weddingwire, it was actually not too bad.

What I did was make a chart for my entire guest list, and when anyone declined, I took them off the table. It made figuring things out easier.
May not work for you, but just a suggestion.
I'm here. Working on escort cards, seating plan, and day-of schedule.

Daria - I feel your pain, my photogs are a bit slow at responding most of the time too. I'm the same way with them though so it balances out and isn't anything I'm worried about. I hate waiting for emails when I know they're coming. I'm super impatient about email for some reason. I hope people will get back to you sooner rather than later.

[QUOTE]We're up to 115 jars of jam! Only 3 more batches to go! And Harp...we're splitting the night up too and having the cake cutting later!!
Posted by kelsey+brandon[/QUOTE]
What flavour(s) of jam did you do? We're planning on doing bottled jams too, and originally wanted strawberry as at least the base, but they don't come into season locally until mid to late June, which cuts it too close to our date. Because we want to use local, fresh fruits, we're now thinking of using blueberries, but still on the fence.

Yes; seating is all done! I'm just making a bazillion feathers out of tacky glue, wire and rice paper for the escort cards. I have a WW account but I haven't really used it; I wish I discovered their wedding website before TK. It's lovely!

<div>We're doing all strawberry jam. It's my favorite and they're in season right now in North Carolina! Since it was such a mild winter, they actually started picking them the week earlier this year.</div><div>
</div><div>If you haven't gotten your fruit yet, I would highly recommend waking up and going to the farmer's market when the actual farmer's are there delivering their goods. FI was able to get 30 lbs. of strawberries for $45!!</div>
