Wedding Details

[TimandJoyce 1]

Omg, I'm getting married in 2 weeks and I'm so disorganized its not even funny. I have boxes and bags everywhere! Somehow we ended up with 3 different guest favors... Boxes with candy, place card clips and now fans that require way more assembly then one would think!

Wooow! Thank god we only have 40 people!

Two weeks!! wow!! *and here she is...still in Canada...waiting...waiting...waiting...*

That's so exciting Huggles!! *wishing she only had 40 people to the wedding*...

I haven't been able to think of other guest favours, other than the leis we're ordering for everyone. I'd like to find something that will have our names, and the date of the wedding, but I really haven't come across much, and nothing *cheap*. I've seen a few things, but when you add it all up.... Oh well, it will be a great wedding no matter what!

Never heard of imageshack, boy am I behind the times.

2 weeks! Its almost August?!?! Sheesh where has the summer gone! We definitley want pictures Huggles! Hope the rest of the wedding planning is going alright! Did his mom end up throwing you a bridal shower/party?

Booking things was the easy part! Its all these details that driving me bonkers, I need to get sit down and get organized!! Ours too will be small thank goodness!!

300 people?! Oh boy, that's lots, haha.

Our list is about 40, with six or so from Canada. I'm even cringing at that number... as I had my heart set on a 2hr barbecue in the backyard! Twinkle lights, anyone?

I plan to mooch ideas from this thread when I stop procrastinating on planning. Am I truly the only one who plans to wait until the very last minute to throw the entire day together?

I think it's definitely possible to plan a small party with short notice - as long as you have an idea of what you want in your head AND all of your ideas are available or not out of budget.

I'm having a big wedding next year - around 225 people - and I'm finding that if I want to try and do things on my own, or inexpensively, I have to do a lot of research and plan ahead. I'm also finding out though, for the style and look and feel of a wedding that I want, saving money is possibly not going to happen, LOL.

I did not plan one bit for my civil wedding. I didn't even know what shoes I was going to wear until the night before and I ended up not having anything that matched so my sister-in-law let me borrow a pair of hers!

Peachy I love the bobble heads idea! Where are you getting that done?

Someone told me the Great Canadian Superstore will do them. So if they do, I'll do it there (before I leave Canada) and if not I can get them done online

That sound wonderful Minnew! Do you use image shack? That's what I used to post.

course...once I finally figured out how to do it, it became easy.....

Oh there will be pictures, don't you worry! The details are whats driving me nuts too... especially since everyone has their own opinions on what we should do, so I have all these options swirling around in my head. I think I have most of the little things nailed down, I just have to assemble all the decorative things and I still need to track down like 8 people and ask then what the heck their problem is. Why is sending a response card back so hard? I really don't understand. They were due 12 days ago. But yes, I did get a bridal shower (a small one mind you, because of my conditions ) and I got a bunch of lingerie. Talk about awkward! Thanks Bill's grandma, this lace thong will do me well. They all told me that bridal showers are for sexy things for the honeymoon? Never heard of that before but alright...

Cheap favors are possible! I got 100 favor boxes from efavormart.com personalized for like $30! Then you just need to fill them with whatever you want. I also got some response card clips on sale for super cheap on theknot... I think it was $22 for $20 of them. I just monitored a couple sites and waited for things to go on sale! The problem is that you find things on sale for a great deal, buy them, then suddenly you have more stuff then you really know what to do with.

That is cute! Lace thong from grandma!! I have never heard of bridal showers being for sexy lingerie either!

That really gets me that people toss aside the invitation and forget to RSVP. What is so hard about it? 12 days ago!! A bit ridiculous....a few days late....I could handle!

Damnit i can never get the quote things right! I need sleep!

I've heard of a lingerie shower before.... but I think I'd want one with my girlfriends, not the in-laws

No kidding eh? I got a honeymoon sex kit from my soon-to-be MIL. A little weird...

All the non responders are members of my fiances family, minus two who promised to make a decision by the end of this week. I'm having a hard time getting him to call people and ask! I've never met most of them, or only seen them once, so I'm not going to call them, it should be his job, no? I tracked down all the non responders on my side, its his turn.

I'm really getting annoyed with people who try to tell me how it should be. My favorite is when people say, "it doesn't matter if you like the flavor of your cake or the food you're serving because you can't eat it anyways." Why the hell not? I'm going to eat the food I paid for, thanks! Or, "Well you can't have open seating at the ceremony, that's not the way weddings work." Well this is how my wedding is going to work! There aren't very many of you, figure it out! Just little things like that. Everyone thinks they KNOW the way it MUST be. I know they mean well, but this is our wedding, not theirs. Its getting down to the wire and I've been very patient with everyone, but I think I'm about to kill!

UGHHH I hear you on that. Everyone and their mother has an opinion about the way things should be, it's so damn annoying. Why can't people realize that it's YOUR day!? We will do it the way WE choose!

It should definitely be your fiance's job to track down his side of the family's responses. But, you know how men are with that type of thing

I got told yesterday by a lady that works at the laundrymat that I should change my last name when I get married. Excuse me? It is none of her business to tell me what to do, she doesn't even know my last name.

#######? That's so rude! I'm not changing my last name, I didn't and don't plan on it. I prefer mine, thank you very much

I know what you mean Huggles....both of my fiances mom and my mom are driving us bonkers...they just don't listen to what WE want, even though we tell them over and over again!!! First it was his mom wanted to invite a bunch of family as a courtesy that my fiance has never met....like HER cousins! It was up to him to settle that one with her, not me! Oh well the bride should always carry a white bouquet...the grooms family should always pay for the rehearsal dinner.....you only need one fitting for your dress..... the newlywed couple should always leave for their honeymoon the day after the wedding.....(we aren't having one right away) Im not having assigned seating either, I am sure my future MIL is going to flip her lid when she hears that! For god sakes there will only be 60 of you max...figure it out!! Besides a sign on one or two table that may say reserved for moms and dads, if you don't people will sit right there. You can't have the DJ as the MC.....one of Brad's groomsman should be a member of your family like a male cousin...the bar has to be open.....currently we are at odds at who should sit at the head table....

*Sigh the mixing of family wedding traditions......
