Tomorrow, I will go pick up my dress and have that done too. And Tim has his outfit as well, including a very handsome blue flowered tie. Yay!!! Congrats!!!! That is so exciting and such a relief!!!! That's probably the biggest one!

I didn't want showers either because I don't like to be the center of attention...I get nervous and I was nervous about different groups of people meeting, etc... However..sometimes you don't get what you want and people REALLY want to throw you showers because they love you and care about you, etc... My first one was this last saturday and 3 of my friends threw it for me. They can't make it to mexico so they really wanted to do this for me. I didn't want to register but they made me and I did and I got some gifts that I "needed" and some that I love..like lingerie which I don't normally wear but it's nice when you have it to try something new!! It was fun. The next one is in a couple weeks and it's a co-ed one but more of a party/pre-wedding celebration than a shower for the guys sake...so I'm sure it will be fine too. All my friends kept telling me to stop worrying and enjoy it because it's the only time it will be all about me...so do what you feel you need to. It isn't the worst thing;

The problem with me though is that she was not going to start the highlights until the next time. So this time only was just supposed to be one shade lighter brown that what I usually am, and by lighter brown I mean like a medium.... And ORANGE on the top, bronzie blotches all over and the back of my head when you look more of my roots its BLONDE!!! Oh yeah so she couldn't even do the all over color...that sucks!!! I'm sure she can fix it! Then when you go for your highlights, hopefullly she will remember this and yours will actually turn out blonde! Quote: Originally Posted by beachbride08 Oh, that sucks! Maybe it has something to do with the box hair color. Maybe whatever chemicals are in that didn't agree with the whatever chemicals are in the salons products? Hopefully, they will be able to fix it for you. I really think it has to do with the box too. that is what they all tell me and none of my friends who's hair turns out good use box color!!! So I really think I have so many chemicals in my hair that it's confused...I kow I shouldn't use that stuff but this broad is charging me $140 - $160 a pop and I don't even get my hair cut!!!!! The box is like $8..

Happy Birthday Fellow Aries! Hope you have a great day today!

I am so sorry saraha!!! I'm laughing at your last sentence!!! This is the story of my life!!! I use box dye all the time to cover my greys too!! Then in the summer and for my wedding I like to have it lighter with blonde. Now while I do like the carmel/honey color...on me it is more orange and brassy and I hate it. All my friends get their hair the way the want it and I always hate my hair!!! I have had so many people do it because I thought it was them and now I think it's me!!! This new gal I went to 2 months ago said that it would take her a while to bring the blonde up..but she put bleach or whatever in it and then did an all over color on the rest to cover the grey and the highlights spacing turned out really good and I loved that part...but the "blonde" highlights were orange...whatever though she told me it might not work the first time so I let it be. Then I go last friday for round two. I tell her okay I love how you spaced the highlights last time I just want those lighter and maybe you can go a shade or two lighter on the overall color. What did I get?? Well the whole top part of my hair is orange! You can see maybe 3 blonde streaks and a little dark but the dark isn't coming through as much so it looks more like all one colore vs highlights and she apparently did only a partial so the whole underneath is DARK! I am freaking out now because the next time I go is right before the wedding!!! I don't know if I should go to someone else or just cross my fingers Sorry to hijack your thread w/ my drama...but I really wanted to let you know that you aren't the only one!!!

Oh Heidi...you look so beautiful and happy!!! Thank you for sharing! I'm so glad this day was so perfect for you guys!!!!

ooh...i just thought of it... i am giving starfish wine stoppers and i can put a tag w/ those!! Thanks tami!

i love this! i mighthave to incorporate this somehow

Has anyone heard of the perfume Light Blue by Dolce & Gabana? I am wondering if I wear this on my wedding day if it counts for my "something blue"

Thank you so much!!!! Tell him I really appreciate it!

Stephanie...those are so cute!!! I love them and everything in them! You're guests will be so thrilled!

I am wondering if one of our spanish speaking gals can translate the following into spanish. My friend/co-worker's mom who doesn't speak english sent a gift with my friend to my shower this weekend and she always gets me little things here and there... I am sending her her own thank you card and i thought it would nice to write it in spanish for her.... Thank you very much for the precious moments figurine! I love it! It means so much that you thought of me on my special day. You are such a kind hearted person and always thinking of other people and I just can't thank you enough! Love, Michelle

Everything looks wonderful!!! I am wondering where you got your sand ceremony frame?

I wouldn't pay it!! That seems ridiculous to me. Maybe, and only maybe I would pay the $250 if it included everything!! (paper products, alcohol, mothers gift and brides gift)

All of that looks so nice! They are really going to feel special when you give it to them!

a little late on this...but these look really good!! Great job!

I am so sorry to hear this! But you seem like you are trying to be positive and it will all work out and when it's time it's time! Keep your head up!

Yay Jen!!! Congrats to you both!!! I hope your day is everything you dreamed of and I can't believe it's here already! Wish I was there!

Sorry to hear this!! This does suck! I'm sure it will all work out but yeah that's not okay to stress you out like that!

Thanks gals!!! I should have been more patient! That online calculator is awesome! In the mean time, I joined the ww online again! I want to take advantage of the recipes and stuff and I thought that tracking my points on their site would help me more than the excel spreadsheet I made to do it....something about paying money for things!

Can someone calculate the following for me and tell me how many ponits?? Calories 130 Fat 6 Fiber 2 Thanks!

Seriously though, this is the crazy part..everything is leading up so quickly and drawing near, but you need to trust yourself and all of your awesome planning skills. Being the center of attention scares me too, so i understand but im sure this feeling will wear off once you have your first shower, then the second, then eventually your walking down the aisle!!!yeah Okay, I tend to ramble hopefully this helps but please know your not the only one with these worries, if we didnt worry...that would be wierd..right! Thanks!!! You're right though...it's the anticipation of it all and I'm sure it will all be fine and once I do one the other should be fine...

I love your placecard idea!!! So cute!
