Share with us your WR and NWR updates from the weekend!

colstj1 · May 2012

WR: Nothing for my wedding this weekend, but it was filled with WR things for my friends!

NWR: One of my best friends got married on Friday. So we had her rehearsal dinner on Thurs and then her wedding all day Fri. Everything turned out beautifully for thier day and my FI and I had a blast. Then Sat. night I had another friends bachelorette party and we did belly dancing lessons before hitting the city for the bars. It was such a fun bachelorette party and now I cannot wait for mine!

WR: Found the table number frames I am probably going to use. Rescheduled our engagement pictures (due to rain forecast) for the morning of my shower, so it kind of worked out because now I'll have hair and makeup done and an excuse to walk into my shower all dressed up.

NWR: Had a great time at friends' housewarming party, got back into exercising, and relaxed a bit.

WR: Got our invites put together and in envelopes - sending all of them out tomorrow! Thank god for family, went so much faster since they helped.

NWR: Went to my cousin's wedding on Saturday

mbatzlaff · May 2012

WR: Had my hair trial, which I already posted about. Finally found a rehearsal dress at a local women's boutique. I had been looking at a few chain stores, but just couldn't find what I wanted. Worked on invitations and just have to address a few more envelopes before sending the rest of them off.

NWR: FI started his seasonal job so I had most of the weekend to myself to catch up on all the errands I needed to do.

DeClue82 · May 2012

WR: Got our first 3 RSVPs back! Finally booked our videographer! Made appointments for with the photo, DJ, caterer, and rentals vendors for mid July!

NWR: Attended our nephews baptism.

bridejl · May 2012

WR: Dined at a restaurant that is a potential contender for our rehearsal dinner (Mexican...yumm!). Also sealed up the majority of the invites tonight, and figured out what other little things are left to do on them (a couple addresses, a couple more inserts needed, etc). Excited to send them out tomorrow

NWR: Today was my mom's birthday so on Friday, while by brother was still in town, I hosted the dinner party. It was 8 people, the largest dinner party I've planned and cooked for, so it was a milestone! lol

And it was delicious if I say so myself. Yesterday while mom and dad were out of town, we took over the yard work and washed the cars. Felt nice, like we had our own house! My legs kill today though!

dawnp917 · May 2012

WR: Picked out the e-photos we want for our book. Made some changes to the menu, I think it is now finalized.

NWR: Lots of shopping for the house. Seems like every weekend there is something else we need to buy.

Eyejewel · May 2012

WR: Invites came in the mail time to start addressing and print out inserts. Met with the florist to decide on all final things today. Tried to look for bachelorette/shower outfits (no luck).

NWR: Sanded and stained/water sealed the arbor in our yard. Sat on the patio for an hour relaxing today.

Gingery1 · May 2012

WR - Received in the mail 10 lbs of awesome caramels for our candy bar and some feathers for my last ditch attempt for making my own fascinator. Worked on our candy bar banner by gluing letters into the boxes and wiring in some little purple flowers to the garland. Printed all of our envelopes with return addresses and guest addresses, also printed out RSVP envelopes. Wrote out a rough draft of our invitation and inserts.

NWR - loafed around most of the days and watched a lot of Bones on Netflix which was nice. Going grocery shopping tomorrow and cleaning the house like a mad woman. Starting Thursday I am watching a 3 month old kitten and 7, 2 week old bunnies that will need to be bottle fed for 5-6 days.

CallMeMrsChaos · May 2012

WR: Had my MOH and her husband over on Friday night to start helping to cut all the various pieces for invitations. And folding the outer covers. Saturday, I spend the afternoon in the sunshine martha stewart punching all of the invites. Now it appears they are finally ready for assembly, which is good, because the deadline to get them mailed out is fast approaching!

NWR: bonfired it up on Saturday night, and on yesterday I spent the entire day at the campus of Tufts Veterinary School to watch my cousin graduate, so very very proud!

Lobsters25 · May 2012

WR: Finalized my final vendor meetings, which are next week, and had my b-party! (My MOH is taking the bar exam in July so we pushed up a few of the parties to not interfere with her studying.) Now, I just need to get out thank you notes this week!

NWR: nothing, I guess, since the b-party was a weekend away

20pearls16 · May 2012

WR: Went to our second counseling session. The Rev said we were in good shape. Bought my signature frames for the wedding. Got these little bags for the shot glasses to go in and assembled them all. Went with my FSIL and ordered my niece's dress.

NWR: Went to church, BBQ'd on sunday. I actually got to relax a this weekend which was rare.

unicorntrees · May 2012

WR: Took two of my girls to get their dresses fitted at the tailor. Then FI, MOH and I went to a cake tasting! Definitely my favorite part of all the wedding planning, haha.

NWR: I decided to take my bridal party out as a kickoff to the summer. One of them couldn't make it, so another friend of mine came in her stead. We went to a glow in the dark mini golf place--it was pretty awesome! Had lunch afterward too.

jjolovich · May 2012

WR: Attempted to print out the invites Saturday morning, did a test and worked out great did 25 and they were ruined, something happened with the printer and didn't print in the right spot

So now I am back at square one for invites....

NWR: Friday I got a new car!! An 05 Trail Blazer! so nice to get kids in and out of!. Saturday after ruining the invites, headed to fi's work, where they had an antique tractor pull, had 164 antique tractors, way fun and got a bit burnt

Spent all day there from 9:30 am to 9 pm. But it was a blast!! Fi ran two tractors placed 2nd in the 3,000 lb class and 5th in the 7,000 lb class.

Sunday fi fixed the door on the camper as we are heading up this weekend(cant wait) while i planted some lillies and our garden, cant wait to munch on yummy veggies!!

brij2006 · May 2012

WR: Went to Victorias Secret with one of my BM's to find cute stuff for my Bouduar photo's in a couple of weeks. Ordered a dress for the rehearsal, and finished up the templates for invites so we can print them tonight.

NWR: Finished my first half-marathon!!! It was 90 degrees when I finished, but I only added 4 minutes to my goal time. So I was VERY happy. Also painted our 2nd bathroom. Next up is tile and the fixtures.

libby2483 · May 2012

WR: We did the food tasting at our venue. Everything was delicious and I couldn't be happier with how everything is shaping up with the venue. We were supposed to get our engagement pictures taken, but the weather didn't cooperate, and we had to reschedule.

NWR: We started packing our apartment, because we are moving out in a week. We are going to be living with my grandma this summer while we look for a house. Our goal is to be in a house by the beginning of August. So August will be a busy month!

saraschilling88 · May 2012

WR: Found out my brother was able to get us rooms for part of our Honeymoon!! Very excited, now we are just needing to choose where to stay for the last few days (on a beach, but which beach is our question).

NWR: Friday - recovered from Girls Night Out on Thursday!!
Saturday - cleaned up the yard (FI had a tree trimmer come Thursday, so we cleaned up the mess the tree trimmer left), started cleaning inside, FI finished framing 2 rooms in the basement.
Sunday - FI finished plasticing the 2 rooms in the basement that he framed, then FFIL and FI sheetrocked the 2 rooms so all we have to do is tape/mud/paint to finish (and carpet one of them)!! I polished the banister (sounds easy, but the banister has some intricate parts that are hard to dust/polish), and totally scrubbed down the kitchen (even moved appliances to scrub underneath them). Before FFIL left he made us drinks, and I realized in the middle of the night that I did NOT drink enough water to counteract the salt from pizza and the dehydration from the alcohol... I have been recovering most of today... I don't drink often lol...
