BRIDAL PARTY BUZZ

Here is the invite for my brother's wedding. Its pretty nice-nothing too exciting but not dreafully awful so its all good!

The bridesmaid dresses are in!! I tried it on last weekend on LI. Its no sooooo bad. I mean they are def ugly and def still long sleeve but the initial showing wasn't as bad as I thought. Maybe because I was expecting the worst of the worst? (PS....This does not mean you need to hold back any mocking when you see me pictured with a medieval long sleeved dress in August-ha!) I guess I'm just feeling nice now because I love Carolyn :)

With less than a month away (July 16th) the bridal shower drama has begun! To refresh your memory its her 2 bro's wives (2 dowdy suffolk 40 yr olds), 2 BFFs (rockin 80s gals), and EJ and I. Her 2 BFFs are her matron's of honor-one is a paranoid super party planner in Minnesota and the other suffolk girl on her honeymoon now. And the 2 other sister in laws have never been involved in a bridal shower before. So they have been come up with ridiculous ideas like shipping things in from England and 18 different favors for everyone. I'm in charge of RSVP so we are up to 34 yes, 11 no, and 10 not responded yet. One lady suggested getting together out in Suffolk before the party. I told her we can do it all on email because I can't get out there because of school and everyone else is not around. And I've emailed out a million time asking what ppl have spent because we need to budget. But haven't heard anything yet! Now I know I shouldn't be worrying because I'm sure the bridal shower invites did not cost much but you never know!! The moron probably used high quality florescent pink ink or purchased the rights to use doves and rose picture-ugh!

Now for the bachelorette party we've had some stellar ideas as well. The Minnesota chick has decided it is going to be the same weekend as the shower so she can be there. I think this limits us and has oodles of potential for pblms. But she's the maid of honor so whatevs. Carolyn doesn't want to do anything big she just wants the girls to hang out, not be embarrased, and no strippers-what?? :) My suggestion was going to a fun belly dancing restaurant and drinks in the city. But this Minnesota chick is fixated on this idea of asking a friend of a friend of a friend (literally-no exaggeration) to use their house out East on Friday to sleepover and have wine and cheese. Then on Saturday going wine tasting. But because Carolyn's shower is the next day and we have to be home we need to all mysteriously disappear Saturday night after we got her all wasted? She seems to be having trouble getting the house thing together (shocker??!!) so I'm still crossing my fingers that we do the city thing or even the other maid of honor will come back from honeymoon and smack some sense into the other!
