Oh, and one thing we hadn't mentioned, but the cake is all set too. I'll talk to her about the hairdresser.
#WEDDING PANIC MODE FREE#
We'll encourage the DDs, but fuck free beer.

open bar for the wedding party, soda is free for everyone, cash bar for alcohol. and in the end, we're just happy people show up. We will register for some stuff, but we'd rather money to help pay for the honeymoon. I mean, we've been living together for 3.5 years, so we don't need much of anything. We're not registering for much for gifts. we've already put the deposit down for the day and time, so the room is reserved. Gotta get things ready and reserved for the day of. Bridesmades/Groomsmen are taken care of, but yes, we need to find a local tux place ASAP. Also, disposable cameras on each table, that people can throw in a bag at the end, so we have scrap-book material. The reception we were planning on using mirrors in the middle of each table, with a candle in the middle and flower pedals around it. My parents are taking care of the bouquet and the boutonnieres/croisages, and the wedding hall takes care of the flowers for the ceremony. I can't really imagine making a wedding more work than all that, but if all else fails, watch a couple episodes of the wedding shows on We! for an idea of absolutely everything you could possibly think of to do for a wedding. If it's important to your fiancee, she might want to start looking into working with a hairdresser (I dunno, some girls want really complicated hairdos), and making sure she can get an appointment the day of the wedding Have you decided on cash or open bar? Many people don't bring cash to a wedding, and you'll want to let them know on the invitation Also, most places will include some little slips that you can put in with the invitation so people know where to look (Target, BB+B, etc) Register for gifts! It makes it way easier on any guests, and that way you won't be getting the same throw pillows eighteen times over. Have you made sure the location of the actual wedding is open? The dates and times often overlap, and you don't want a Bride Battle (as awesome as that may be) Bridesmaids/groomsmen, if you're having them, will need to know what to buy and where to buy it (dresses, tuxes, shoes - also, I think you need to let the places know sizes beforehand, especially if your wedding party can't go in for fittings)
#WEDDING PANIC MODE PLUS#
Are you doing any flowers for the aisle/tables/etc, plus bouquet? You've probably gotten more done than you think, but here some things I could think of (friends just got married) (in no particular order of importance): They also have no problem with us dropping in now and then and getting the rings polished for free.

They helped me pick out an engagement ring that my wife loved and it was a no-brainer to go back there for the wedding rings (and various engraved wedding gifts for our bridal party). The place we bought ours from are really friendly, give you lots of advice and don't push you. Also, it's good to have a local jeweller who you are happy with because you might want to go back and get rings resized and so forth afterwards. If for no other reason than the pushy ones are aholes. In addition to this, buy from the people who are most helpful and not the ones who are more pushy. I'm happy to answer any questions over PM, too. This is forever if you do it right, so invest the time. You shouldn't get much pressure, and the good folks out there will give you a quick lesson in things that matter, (Karet gold, the 4 Cs of diamonds, etc.). Tell them you've just started looking and you are just looking at everything because you don't know anything. I sold rings for years, and I can tell you that the only way to do it is to look at everything you can in person. we've actually been looking at damascus steel, since they're a bit different and quite beautiful.ĭo you folks have suggestions on sites I should look at? Our local options are a bit limited, unless we drive several hours. We don't have tons of money, but we want something special.
#WEDDING PANIC MODE HOW TO#
We really don't know how to go about getting them, what we should be looking for, and the like.

One of these things is, obviously, the rings themselves. My fiancee and I are getting married in May, and we're getting a lot of things finalized.
