Oh my goodness, you ladies are so more advanced than I am! My FI and I planned the wedding kindda at the last minute. We decided in late October/early November 2010 that we wanted the wedding asap, so really we didn't give our family/friends much notice. The STD was an email of our wedding website with info...and we sent out the actual invites in December. The RSVP date is at the end of February...therefore, I don't wanna plan too much until I know the final count. Right now we have about 20 people confirmed. I do have a dress though...that I LOVE. All the ideas are in my head: pre-travel wedding brochure, OOT bags, etc.... I'm so excited to start putting everything together! I'm getting addicted to these forums too...great ideas from you ladies!!!! Keep 'em coming
