  [QUOTE]Ok ladies, Needing to vent, feeling a bit overwhelmed.  I<strong> haven't found any STD or invitation designs that to make a decision on</strong>. After looking at site after site they are all starting to look the same to me. I've found some on each site that I like. It doesn't help that I have my family informing me that I need to hurry up and send out the STDs to everyone. Next, we haven't settled on a honeymoon yet. I've taken the advice mention from you ladies on my previous post about the honeymoon destination. Now the issue is which resort or hotel to stay at. Now that I'm thinking about it; I'm just going to pick out the top 5 places and take a poll. I <strong>have groomsmen asking me to make sure they walk down the aisle with someone cute. Really....really...you trying to bother me with that mess. Who puts in a request for something like that? I have one bridesmaid asking if I can find someone that will do her hair the day of the wedding. Girl, I'm still trying to find someone that will do my own. </strong>I'm sorry ya'll...I just had to let this off my chest.<div>

  Breathe! If you're already at 6 months out, I don't know that I would bother with the STD's if you haven't found anything that you like.

  
  

  As for the honeymoon, girl, I gave that job to FI so that was one less thing I had to stress about.

  
  

  I don't know if our groomsmen are going to walk down the aisle or if they are going to come out with FI and let the bridesmaids walk by themselves. We're still working this out.

  
  

  It'll all work out though! Just woo-sah!

  AWWWW dont worry honey itll get better, sorry your going thru this! As far as the invitations and STD's ive been looking at Signatures by Sarah and she customizes any type of invite or std to your what you would like (just a suggestion HTH) and the honeymoon situation well once you put up a poll im sure the ladies and myself included will be more than happy to help you out with that...

  and LOL ive heard of guys asking that before, smh they are ridiculous all you can do is laugh at them and walk away LOL..

  and tell your BM to go sit down its your day not hers LOL

  I am sorry you feeling this way. 

  
  

  About the STDs & Invites: what can we do to help you? One thing that helped me was making a list of the features I wanted. I always started to play in Word to see if I could design them myself since I could not find what I was looking for...which is what ended up happening. At this point (6 months) with STDs, I would do something quick, easy, and to your liking so you can get the info our to people and focus on the invites.

   I found my invites from Esclusivelyweddings.com. I got mines during the holidays so I was able to get that extra discount. I did good, they were 30% off. They have some really nice things on that site. I am really happy with the products I purchased.
  
  I left the honeymoon up to FI, I just told him where I wanted to go but I have yet to hear anything about it yet.
  
  Girl, tell those groomsmen to pipe down.
  I sure you will work it all out.

  I agree with everyone. RELAX..RELATE.. RELEASE...(I love Whitney..anyway).. With it being 6months out..do you need to do STD's. Or just focus on your invites.. Groomsmen... just laugh it off.. and go by height or something.. and it is what it is... BM... hair.. come on now... unless your paying for them and doing a group thing..how does she normally get her hair done??? Just relax.. and the drink of wine sounds great..

  Thanks ladies for the words of encouragement.  I needed that!!  Once I get out of work and get home I'll be having a tall glass of wine. LOL! If I can find something with tangerine and teal for my invites, I'll be happy.
  
  I'm hoping come Monday I'll be able to say I have them locked and loaded.

  I agree about usong vp. Thay groupon comes in handy. I did a simple magnet nothing fancy. But agree with 6months out you pushing it. For the invite maybe try etsy as well they have printable and customiziable invites they'll fwd to your email and you print yourself. Everything will work out..im with Nursing on the relax relate release. Ha !
