Herbaltees Posted May 24, 2012 Author #51 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Our save-the-dates went out a few weeks ago. Everyone loves them! I now need to work on the invitations and start selecting some days and stores to go dress-shopping. I'm not really looking forward to dress-shopping, so I'm really procrastinating on that one. Why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herbaltees Posted May 24, 2012 Author #52 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Got my final confirmation paperwork signed and sent back in yesterday. It provided the location and approximate time of our ceremony. Now I guess I should call the dress store and find out when I'm supposed to take my dress in for its final steaming... Wow its getting really close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herbaltees Posted May 24, 2012 Author #53 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Done: 1. Picked up our marriage license. :D 2. I finished designing the invitations and have everything printed. 3. Thanks to VistaPrint, I got a banner for our welcome reception, & thank you cards for the OOT gifts. (They were free so I got 50.) Next Months To Do's: 1. Pick a pair of shoes, for the wedding!! (Every time I see something I like, I end up wearing them before the dang wedding. LOL!) 2. Assemble and mail the invitations. 3. Select attire for the wedding party.

gymbomb Posted May 24, 2012 #54 Share Posted May 24, 2012 We got our marriage license recently too -- and (not wedding related but interfering with time to do other things...) bought a new house and moved in a couple of weeks ago! Mostly but not entirely unpacked. I do at least know where the wedding things are. Stil need to: decide if I want to put buttermints into OOT bags or put them out at ceremony, assemble and address announcements, find a compact flash card reader that is compatible with my MacBook, and pack!

Twin A Posted May 25, 2012 #55 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Why not? I just don't like the process of trying on clothes. All the putting on and taking off and repeat. Maybe I'm just lazy. Lol! :eek: And there are so many choices! I don't want to start looking too early, buy something I like, then have dress regret later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herbaltees Posted June 25, 2012 Author #60 Share Posted June 25, 2012 So with 3 months left until the BIG DAY, here is where I am with the planning: 1. Finally selected a dress for the AHR. (Super cute mini wedding dress. ) & my mom picked out her dresses too. 2. Purchased shoes for both events. 3. Had the first fitting of my wedding dress. OUCH, the alterations cost more than the dress! 4. Printed all of the wedding invitations and have them addressed. Still to do: 1. Select attire for the rest of the wedding party. 2. Finalize menu for AHR. Order a cake for the AHR. 3. Complete the AHR and wedding favors. Where are you in the planning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shatima Posted June 26, 2012 #61 Share Posted June 26, 2012 They came out REAL nice woooooow... I have the same website, and order my STD too from Vista Print. .I guess alot of us are on the same train.. we are still 10 months away but I am such a planner it's really hard for me to wait to complete things. Wedding website up and running :) www.mywedding.com/amandandoug (got a lot of ideas for that from this website so if you see something that is similar to yours I probably stole it, THANK YOU!) Save the dates sent (postcards from vistaprint) Wedding colors are picked out: navy blue, hot pink and silver Guests have booked with our TA (15 cabins not including us so far) our group booking deadline has come and gone but some people have still expressed an interest in booking this summer. Once a guest has booked we sent them a postcard thanking them for booking and giving the rest of the payment deadlines and info. I have started to gather items for our OOT bags (including custom canvas bags, pens, notebooks, keychains, hats and tshirts from vistaprint that were either free or paid for with a groupon). Silk Flowers have been ordered on etsy from alexicgracedesigns Kim is amazing!!!! Here are some pics of my finished flowers that Kim has sent me 020 by akearns03, on Flickr[/img] 027 by akearns03, on Flickr[/img] My MOH lives in AZ my mother lives in VT my future MIL lives in MA so I have made my dress shopping appointments for June 1 and 2 and everyone will be flying into charleston to join me.

lightskinedgyal Posted June 26, 2012 #62 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I Got my Save the Dates magnets from vista print and love them so thank you to all the brides on this site for helping me! So we are giving them out in a few weeks to give over a year notice. We also took a few engagement pics to put on the magnets! Also received a 10 dollar coupon that works in Canada! so i got the magnets for almost free! Question: When will a coordinator be assigned to me? I know my wedding is far away so proabably why. I received all the paper work and have to hand it back in a week so i was curious when i would receive an email from my own personal coordinator does anyone know? Thanks!

Megan My carnival coordinator was the person who emailed all the forms to me. The welcome letter had the name of the coordinator and how to best reach her. My 'a wedding for you" coordinator contacted me a few weeks later. I was over 400 days too, so don't worry they will get in touch with you.

Twin A Posted August 16, 2012 #65 Share Posted August 16, 2012 On Monday, I put down the deposit on my dress. And today, we mailed out our invitations. Yay! I hope to get all RSVPs in (with booking numbers) before the end of October. I didn't want to push the date out any later since people might forget with the rush of the holidays. My family is composed of some serious procrastinators, though, so we'll see. I've also been working on my pearl bouquet. What's everyone else been up to?

That's so close! How exciting! What are you doing for cake decor and centerpieces? So have you actually held your pre-reception already or is it that you 're done planning it? We're considering doing a pre or post one but haven't really done too much on that front yet. Typed with my thumbs on a tablet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typed with my thumbs on a tablet I know it's sooo surreal, that after a year it's almost here. WOW. No the pre reception is the night before the wedding and I'm done with planning it. The cake decor I purchased from Hobby Lobby and Etsy and I sent a picture to my coordinator asking if they could do it. Hopefully, it will look like this The centerpieces were these I got from Ebay to kind of go with my ship theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
