I was just saying I needed a drink last night! Its crazy how much stuff I have going on ASIDE from the wedding. I'm studying for my licensure test, trying to fit in working out daily so I can lose the weight I want to lose by the wedding and preparing to move during the month of the wedding. I need several cocktails!

It's getting close ladies! I think it will all be fine, just have to finish some details before then. Mainly- OOT bags and ipod playlist!

If you have about 25-30 guests other than yourself, do you bother with place cards

I wasn't planning on doing place cards. I figured by the day of the wedding everyone will know everyone and people can just sit wherever.

 

*Anyone not doing a 'reception' but just a dinner? We are doing a dinner, where we will cut the cake, do the first dance and thing I figured we would all head over to one of the resort bars. There is like 40 of us so I figure wherever we are there will be a party! Does this sound like an okay idea?

Given we will have at most 30, we plan to do the same thing...just a dinner with a few formalities...cutting the cake and first dance. But, then I figured we would find a bar to hang out at.

 

Everytime I feel like I got a bunch of stuff done, I realize I still have a lot to do either for the DW or the AHR.

We are possibly going to have a cocktail hour - if one more room is booked, it will be free. We would do a champaign toast and cut the cake there. We are also having just dinner and then dancing at the Disco. No formal reception. We didn't have the budget for it.

So I feel SOOOOO behind...I need to make a list to see how far I'm actually behind.
