Post your store recommendations

One more thing...anyone has any recommendations for great intimates stores? I was just wondering if there are more choices besides Vicky's secret and the gap that people love.

Invitations, Tuxes and Out of town guests...

This weekend Todd and two of the groomsmen (the other 2 had questionable excuses) went to get fitted for the tuxes. The Groomsmen diced to wear all black with a Fuscia Tie, which is alright I guess. I wanted Todd to wear a black Tux with an Ivory, shirt and tie...sounds simple right? Well, when they brought the swatches out, Todd thought it looked bad and the lady in the story was saying that nobody ever gets that combination. Then she went on to suggest that he wear all Ivory with a Fuscia tie,which I am not too warm on. So I am going to have to research some more pictures to find something that will work. I was really trying to not be involved in the Tux affair....

I was running errands all weekend and I attended the K-Diva's baby shower so I didn't make much progress. However, I did start writing out the group rate information on the Hotel Directions card that the Marriott sent me. I also purchased the stamps so I should have everything ready by the weekend of the 21st. I will be going over to Kristen's at 6pm with some snacks on Saturday the 21st to do the invitations. Anybody who wants to come over and help just let me know, there will be plenty of work for everyone!

I was talking to my friend Kyra this weekend (she posts under the name "Kentucky" and I met her in Memphis) who raised a very valid point: What is there to do for the out of town people? I haven't given the out of town guests much thought up until this point but I guess I need to get a packet together with options for them. I am sure there is a bus from the Airport to New York if they want to go shopping and dinning. I didn't budget for a welcome basquet but I probably need to get some together...ok ladies, I am really going to need some help on this one!

As you can see I am updating the blog more frequently, the complaints about my tardiness have been duly noted ;-) I also called the bridal shop about my dress, nobody answered but I left a message.

Tuxes maybe?

So after a month of friendly reminders, Todd is working on getting his groomsmen together to get fitted for tuxes this weekend...however, I am not holding my breath because they always have scheduling issues.

This is the tux that he likes, I am trying to gently persuade him to go for a tie instead whatever that is around the neck. So what have I been up to? Nothing! I have been so busy every weekend and during the week that I haven't worked on anything at all...in fact I am still trying wrap up some work right now and I am taking a break. I did have a conversation with my Aunt Silvia and she has been helping me find packaging options for the favors on the internet. As you know, I am doing packages of hot chocolate or tea. Here are some of the packaging options:

I am not exactly crazy about this one but it may look nice in white with Black lettering. They have cutter ones but those are above budget.

I am not sure how I feel about the envelope, I need to see it in person to make sure that it is not too chincy looking. I haven't seen anything else that I like...maybe I should have figured out the packaging first and then found a favor to fit in it...ladies take note!

My next big project is getting everything together to mail out the invitations. I just ordered directions from the Marriott today and I need to print out ones from the church and buy the stamps. I think I am going to do them the weekend of the 21st, I was going to do it next weekend but I want to go see Harry Potter and hang out with Mom dukes for her B-day.

I am also getting more serious in my research of a wedding band for DFH. I even ordered a plastic sizing tool from BlueNile to get his size!

Ok, I better get back to work so that I can have tomorrow to slack off...or maybe shop a bit before heading to see Transformers ;-)
