Ook, so I've been doing a lot better... forced myself to take a break from wedding planning a few days and then just took things slowly and things are going fine.
Went with Casie on Saturday to Marilyn's and she tried on her dress again. We were able to make it zip up fine and Marilyn is pretty sure she can adjust the straps to make it fit and then let out the skirt some. Becky tried hers on again on Saturday and it looked great! I think I'll feel so much better once Alanna sends hers back to be fixed and Jenny tries hers on.
As far as favor boxes, I did a bunch more research and found ones that were like half the price of even the ones downtown, but they only came in pink and blue... I wasn't sure how keen Sean would be on the pink but I told him it was half the price and he was fine with it. However, when I went to check out, the price for shipping was the same price as all 250 favor boxes! Aiya! So I continued my search. I tried calling the company to see if they had any promotions or shipping discounts but the lady said NO. Funny thing is though, I got an email from the website "Favor Online" asking if I needed help purchasing the items in my cart. I wrote back explaining the horrendous shipping charge (and this charge is to ship to CALI, so it doesn't even have reasonable explanation like the Hawaii shipping charges)-- I got a response saying they would discount the shipping 20%. So I ordered them! It never hurts to ask! And now there's one more thing I get to check off my list :)
On other wedding related news-- I went to Chelsea Sjoblom's (my old college roommate) wedding this saturday. It was really beautiful. It was held in Calabassas at her family's home. Her grandparents built the home and it was always her dream to get married there. There is a ton of open space and her family along with her now husband's family, transformed the space over the last year. Sounds like it was a ton of work but it sure paid off. She was absolutely glowing the entire night, she just seems soooo happy; it was really wonderful to see that. We sat at a table with 2 of the flower girls who were twins. They were soooo cute and just really beautiful little girls. We talked to the parents and the girls do softball and soccer-- even better! They were just seriously adorable. So yay-- congrats to Chelsea & Jaime!!!
Sunday, Sean and I finally found "khaki's" we want for the boys. We have seriously searched a bunch of places... Express, Gap, Old Navy, Banana, etc. Finally we went to Kohl's and found some great dockers that are a good shade for the shirts. Sent out the email to the boys to figure out if they want to try them and buy them on their own
I get about 2-4 reply cards a day, I'm sure Sean is happy because before he grumbled that he was the only one grabbing the mail, but I definitely go every day now :)
2 days til my bachelorette party in Vegas... I'm starting to get really excited!
