Last night, I went for my first fitting and it was both exciting and scary realizing how close the big day is. But it’s also nice to know I’ll finally be “the bride” and not another bridesmaid which is nice but can be depressing when you’ve had more than your share. My sister and niece went along to see me in my dress. They had their fittings too. They loved their dresses and the shoes added a nice touch.
After contemplating which favors I liked best, I finally ordered my original choice tonight. Glad to have that checked off my list. Now if I can just get the invitations wrapped up. My goal is to start sending them out next week providing the printer can have them ready in time. That would also allow time to send to the “b list” guests without being too close to the RSVP date. Though I read that it’s ok to invite guests a week before or even the week of the wedding, I personally don’t agree with it and want to avoid it. There was also an article on how to let people know they’re not invited which I’ve had to do in the past few weeks, even a couple days ago. I try to smooth it over by reminding them of my large family and that costs add up quickly. I’ve also mentioned sharing the video and pictures. No matter what you say it’s not easy and not everyone seems to understand. But I hope no one takes it personal.
Talk to you soon.
Pam
