I cannot believe how time flies!!!!! In almost one month, I will be married to the love of my life and I couldn't be happier!
We have gotten 49 RSVP's back so far, and I must say, we are going to have quite the turn out! I had heard that about 15 % of people that are invited usually cannot attend (especially if you don't send out save the dates!), but I don't know where our 15% of "no's" went! I am very excited that everyone wants to share our day. It will be great to see everyone and have a good time!
My bachelorette party was last weekend. What a blast! All of my girls (especially Carrie and Michelle!) did such a wonderful job and I couldn't have had more fun than I did! The weather was a little chilly, but we managed. Good location, good hotel, good restaurants, good clubs, good friends, good times! What more could a bride to be ask for?
I have started to get in touch with most of our vendors regarding final payments and last minute details. All of our vendors have been great up to this point, and I feel very fortunate to have nice professionals to work with. The bridesmaids dresses all came in about 2 weeks ago, so that's no longer a worry. A few of the girls need to have alterations, but there is plenty of time for that before the wedding!
I'm starting to get a little overwhelmed, not because I'm nervous or am not having fun; simply because I am worried that I am going to forget something until the last minute! I guess it's time to start making lists and going through the little "pre-made" schedules in my bridal magazines.
Hopefully I'll have one more chance to write before the wedding!!!!! Cheers!

Post-Shower Update!
Well.....the invitations were mailed out on March 29th without a whole lot of trouble. Matt did help me stuff everything for them, which I was grateful for. We've already started to get our RSVP's back, which is exciting.
My next endeavor is to verify the delivery date for all of the bridesmaids dresses. They were ordered in mid February, so I would imagine they should be getting here any day. I have picked out the shoes for the bridesmaids (a fabulous find at Target), so it's nice to have that off the list. That being said, I still need to get a garter as Matt insists on doing that whole thing during the reception. I don't really want to because I think I will get embarrassed, but it's his wedding too so I'm doing it for him.
My bridal shower was on April 5th and it could not have been better! The food was awesome, and the decor was very classy (I'm not really a "themey" person), just lots of fresh flowers and white table linens. All that were involved in the planning process truly outdid themselves, especially Carrie, and I could not ask for better friends and family.
