Got the limo!!
I'm so excited after looking at 3 different companies I was able to get a great deal on an escalade limo!! Holds 20, but for weddings they say 18/16. which is great because at the most we would have 15 in the limo at one time. it also includes champain for everyone in the bridal party after the ceremony and red carpet treatment if weather permits!! but the best part we get it all day for $1,000. this of course is compared to the $996 price the other companies said for only 5 hours. Sooo excited!! Now the limo can take us to the hair salon in the morning and take both all the guys and then all the girls to the church!! I'm putting the limo driver to work trust me!! lol

other then that I have the invite wording done pretty much, just have to go over it with my invite lady. Plus the guys tuxs are picked out and they are starting to get measured!! so yay!!!

to dos: meet with linen lady, book hotel rooms for guests, and figureout the honeymoon!!

Wow I'm finally back girls!!!
So since December things have been a litle crazy, but i'm still kickin'!! What has been the biggest time cruncher has been studying for NCLEX (nursing Broads)! And I passed!!!!! So you are now looking at Sarah S********, RN!!!! enough about that! how about a little catch-up!

So the Guest list situation finally got fixed, our list is now 265!!! This is much better than 320!! There might be a few more friends that get invited, but most likely not. And because of that last tuesday I sent out the Save the Dates!! our guests love them!!

Have the hair salon picked-out!! so excited about that! they will be providing pasteries, juice, and fruit that morning in our own private room!! Very nice staff and building!

Working on limo..... it seems that for 5 hours for a 18-20 person escalade (spelling might be wrong) that $800-$900 is the average in the area. I think I know which one i'm going with, but i want to see the limos first!

We have a photobooth!! so excited!!! it's was made possible because my sister/moh is helping pay for it (very very nice of her)!! it's for 6 hours, and will include a very decorated book for guests to sign!!

I believe I have the invite picked out too!! will show pictures of that as soon as i can!! But have to still work on the written part.

FH and I started our dance classes!!! sooo much fun, but very expensive......not sure how many we will take, but FH is learning a lot!! and enjoying himself at the same time (very important!!)

As working on tuxs.....I believe we are going with President tux...we looked at them and men's warehouse......men's warehouse was cheaper, but presidents looked so much better......i'm hoping to convince FH to go with presidents!

Also after MUCH Drama, my BMs have their shoes and ordered their dresses!!!!! mostly the drama has come from my aunt, because my cousin is a bridesmaid and because she is a little mentally slow. my aunt controls everything! I still dont know exactly what shoes my cousin bought, because my cousin cant remember and my aunt has them under lock and key.....not joking.........and of course i give the girls a month and 1/2 to get their measurements...and my aunt/cousin does it the last day. well atleast its done!! now to just figureout what hairstyle will work with all of them.....ahhhh!! lol

also signedup and payed for our marriage class, which will be april 29th. I'll tell you all about that when that is done!

Also trying to figureout honeymoon.....will make another post about that!!

I could just SCREAM!!!!!
Guest list issues........
So great news first!! Save the Dates came in and they look great!!! I have one posted as promissed!! Other great news my fabric swatch for the girls came in and i will be getting it today!! which means tomorrow i can narrow down invites and i can work on the whole linen thing soon!!

Now for the part where i SCREAM!! so i got the FMIL's guest list last night. mind you i have been asking for it for atleast 6 months now!!! so i got it and i noticed she put the number of people invited per address and their names as asked, but there was no total.....as i counted it before i left.......120 PEOPLE!! this is much different from the 70-80 people she has been guessing all along!!! at first i just laughed and told her that this is much different than 70 and that i told her she knew more people then she realized.......so now instead of the 265 that we thought we were inviting.....our list is 320 (this includes all guests and 2 photographers and 1 videographer we must feed). I could just scream!!! she said they could eliminate people (which she will have to) , but i had to call my parents and tell them they must also eliminate people.....atleast 20 each, wich will make the count 280....i might tell them 25 each....make it 270.....mind you our Hall fits 260......AAAHHHH
and i was planning on getting a photobooth, which takes up space!!
And mind you the more people at the reception means more at the shower. my mom already ordered the invites based off the 30 people FMIL said she would invite....and all favors have also been bought........which are all things you cant just go online and order more of.........i'm sure this will all be taken care of but still......

on top of that FMIL keeps finding these cheap invites online that she thinks i should get for the wedding.....even after i have told her i already know where im getting mine and they are 25% off......

o yeah and i guess stamps are now 45 cents as of yesterday so i was late and had to pay more......

more whats new!!
so today the Save the dates come in and i found out stamps are going up next month....so i'm going to be buy our stamps now; atleast for the save the dates, wedding shower, shower thank yous, rsvp cards for wedding and thank yous for wedding.......i'm worried that the weight of our invite might make the forever stamp not good enough......but i'll have to ask that when i get there


also plan on calling a photobooth place once i know what they say. then i will know what place i will go with (and favors will be done!!!)

last night was fun!! FMIL had these cute heart bags that will have the favor for the shower in them. favors are a nail file, shower gel, and either a nail kit or sewing kit!! will take pictures of them soon!! plus one person at every table will get a holiday basket full of decorations for a certain holiday!!! this is all getting so exciting!! so the shower theme is hearts, which goes with the invites too!!

didnt get the list, but i will tonight!!! plus my mom's

Ask a Question
Got my Shoes. What do you think? And do you think i should bling the heel?
So i did a little Christmas shopping for myself today :-D Haven't bought myself something in two year, since i started my nursing program. Also i finished my nursing program, so it's time to focus on the wedding!! This is a picture of my shoes Revona!! I love them because they look like Badgley Mischka Humbie. the big difference is mine, the renova, has a smaller heel and the heel on mine is silver and not the same fabric as the rest of the shoe. Oh and Badgley Mischka is $200. where mine was only $80.

I love that the heel is smaller!! and they sparkle so much in even dim light!!!

So what do you think?
also my friend has a blinging machine and could bling up the heels. do yuo think i should bling the heel or leave it?

Thanks!! As of know i'm keeping them, but i was told i could return them if i change my mind.

Red
Our wedding colors are a darker red (not apple, but closer to a dark crimson, maybe maroon). At least thats what I'm hoping for!! So my colors are dark red, gold, ivory, some pink (little in flowers only) and some white! I want our wedding to be elegant, formal, a little glam, but still very fun. And I believe the darker red, ivory, white, and gold have a very rich, regal, look to them. :-) I'm so excited!! I also want to include the season fall. so basically I want a Regal Fall wedding!!
