  1. So, I had my BD shoot this past Saturday. TammyB was my photographer and she was great to work with. I had a friend come with me for support and she thought it would be fun to do a BD shoot as well. We got a room at the Atheneum hotel in Detroit and Tammy met us there. She arranged for hair and makeup to meet us in the hotel to get ready, which was great. They all did an amazing job. I was very nervous and felt really awkward at first lookatme.gif but Tammy did an awesome job at working with me to calm my nerves and make me feel comfortable. We had tons of fun and I love my pics, can't wait to give them to my sweet hubby but he's gonna have to wait awhile (he's not getting them for over a year). I'm not posting up any pics here but you girls can check out Tammy's blog if you wanna see.

  2. Them thinking people won't come has nothing to do with sending out STD's. STD's are to let people know and prepare if they want to be there and also to announce your wedding. You should definately send them out to the people you want to be there and give them the chance to make the decision for themselves. It isn't up to the mothers to make decisions for all of your guests so tell them to either help you out or back off.

  3. I can understand your concern given your prevoius experience in your friends wedding. That was a really crappy thing for her to do to you.

     

    Now you asked what you should do and my answer to that is:

     

    Talk to the people you want in your bridal party, explain to them that you want them there, tell them you know it is a lot to ask and you understand if they can't do it and give them some time to make a decision.

     

    Your wedding is a year away so there is no reason to rush into getting BM dresses right now. Give them some time to make their decision and make deposits on the trip. When it gets closer to time to get the BM dresses you should have an answer about who is committed to coming and who is not.

     

    The biggest thing is to talk to them, don't pressure them, just talk to them about whether or not they can really come.

     

    Most people will assume that, being a BM, they will have to buy the dress and such. It is a very common practice. Don't tell them you are paying for it, leave that as a surprise for when it is time to buy it. As for paying for their rooms, maybe that is something you could work out with your TA, that way your friend would make whatever deposits are needed and when the rest of the payment is due you would give the TA the remaining balance. That way if they were to back out you haven't paid anything for it.

     

    I'm not sure about the whole photographer thing. Are you paying more for them to do the extra pictures for you?

  4. I'm sorry to hear this, that's horrible if someone took them and on your birthday even. Let's all hope they were just put at the wrong door. That happens to me all the time, the UPS driver always leaves my stuff at the neighbors. Check with the neighbors and the aparment manager, someone may know where they are. It's quite possible they went to the wrong door and since the name was incorrect that person didn't know who it was for.

  5. I used a fake tanner before I went out in the sun before and I get seriously burnt becasue my skin wasn't actually tan, so I wouldn't suggest that. A tan is your skins defense agianst the sun so faking it isn't really a great idea, it will just draw more sun to you since you are darker.

    I don't know if that made sense but anywho if you are going to be out in the sun and you are worried about burning I would suggest going to a tanning bed a few times. I know tanning is not good for you but getting a sunburn is far worse for your skin.
