My planning so far. 15 days since engagement!

I've been around here for a while 'planning my wedding' but I wasn't formally asked until Dec. 23rd of 2006

So it's been a little over two weeks and this is what I have so far (because I kick *** at this stuff)

As if right now I feel like I finally have things moving the way I want.

- I bought all of the tools and supplies to make our invitations, and response cards

- I have that dress coming in that I could use. - http://www.jcrew.com/catalog/product.jhtml?id=prod70030423&catId=cat90226 (http://www.jcrew.com/catalog/product.jhtml?id=prod70030423&catId=cat90226)

- I bought wedding favors for our guests - http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n260/birdwedding/84_1.jpg (http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n260/birdwedding/84_1.jpg)

- I'd love to have the reception at the Harry's Savory Ballroom (http://www.harrys-savoy.com/ballroom.asp), however they are booked for August the 4th. My Mother suggested a sunday reception would be better anyway because people will not get drunk, knowing they have to be back at work in the morning!

- There is a church called the Chester Bethel church that is walking distance from the ballroom. It's historic and every time I pass it I want to take pictures of it. I asked my Mom to contact them for rates.

- I have chosen the bridesmaids gown color, and their next job is to buy the style they want. We could still decided on another gown if we go out shopping together and buy something off the rack. http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n260/birdwedding/mainimage_03.jpg (http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n260/birdwedding/mainimage_03.jpg)

- For bridesmaid's gifts: I have bridesmaid necklaces in mind. They are silver necklaces featuring a genuine four leaf clover. If you care, they are here: http://i15.ebayimg.com/04/i/06/79/64/0b_1.JPG (http://i15.ebayimg.com/04/i/06/79/64/0b_1.JPG) They will match the dresses (who incidently are the color 'clover') and bring a little of my heritage into it.

- I love the bridesmaid dresses + the bouqets in that picture. They're calla lilies. We will be using those, probably.

I called my best friend since we were 1 year old, to tell her that I got engaged and she told me that she did too, the same night. Then another friend informed me that she did, also. I guess the 23rd is a popular night.

That's very cool! You guys are going to have a great time all planning your weddings together. You have so much to look forward to.

Everything looks great! Love your dress. A coworker of mine got her wedding dress at JCrew too! I thought it was weird, but it was gorgeous and fit the wedding perfectly (It was tea length)

The favors: are you handing out a package of them or just one coaster per person?

Love the colors of the bridesmaid dresses. Very nice :)
