Oops! Forgot about that!

It's less than three weeks to go and getting down to the wire. I thought I had everything under control and ready to go. UNTIL we did a list on Chris and the Crew about the latest in weddings. One of them was napkins with trivia on them instead of the regular cocktail napkins with the bride and groom names with the wedding date. Huh! I never got any of those...completely slipped my mind. I think I thought about them briefly and decided they weren't necessary but yesterday I suddenly wanted them really bad! So I put an order in today and assume they will hopefully be here in time for the wedding. At the very least it will be nice for me and Joe to have a couple of them to keep. Meanwhile, I have all my lists with everything I need to do leading up to, the day before and the day of. I have my lists with everything that needs to go to the venue the day before and everything I will need for the day of. I am in pretty good shape. There are still some things that I need to do but the list is getting smaller which is a relief. I'm in the midst of trying to decide everything to put in the hotel welcome baskets (or in our case...welcome beach pail). The dollar store is turning out to be my best friend in this department! Anything you forgot about or didn't get that you ended up regretting? Please let me know. Thanks!

The wedding manicure...

I used to be a manicurist so I am obviously very into nails...particularly my own. I've always taken very good care of my nails and keep them polished and hopefully looking nice. So obviously I want them to look nice on the day of the wedding especially since they will be in so many pictures with the rings and all. I have been keeping them trimmed so they won't be too long for the day of or start breaking and then be too short. I have put a lot of thought into this...lol. Like I said...I have always been into my nails. I have always been a fan of the french manicure...I just love the classic, elegant look to it. So I always assumed that is what I would get for the day I get married. BUT since the bridesmaids are wearing red it would be fine if I got them red instead of the french. Which is also nice because it's not what every other bride does. I really am still leaning toward the french but there are a couple of issues that makes getting the perfect french manicure difficult. I would definitely want it to be airbrushed because that just looks nicer but if you get this done on a regular basis you know that often the white tips start almost immediately to get cracks in them. I'm not sure how much of an issue this will be when seeing them up close in pictures but it is a concern. I would also want to get a french done at home the day before the wedding because I don't know any salons down there and don't want to go somewhere I've never been before not knowing how good a job they do. That would also mean potentionally chipping the polish since we have to take a ton of stuff to the wedding venue the day before so I would be lifting a lot of boxes and such. Or I could just take the easy route and get red. Should I go with what I really want or with what is easier?
