I am so excited...
I finished our inviations last night and am mailing them out today! I am so over the moon excited because that is a huge check of my wedding to do list. I did/made them myself and I am so very happy with how they turned out 
I can't wait to start getting the RSVP's so we can start out seating chart
I had to share Were any of you this excited when you mailed out your invites?
Re: I am so excited...
That is really exciting! Here comes the obsession with checking the mail everyday.
Yes, I was so excited but I had a new obsession with the mailbox everyday! haha I wouldn't let DH check the mail or open any without me there. hahaha
It's so fun getting them back to see who's coming, etc.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!! So excited for you!
This. lol
Congrats, Jenn! Its an awesome feeling to have the invites out.
Can't wait to meet my baby boy!
You have better patience than I do. I open all the RSVPs. Nick knows I'm keeping the log for the responses so he lets me open all of them. Plus sometimes he doesn't get home until 1 AM. We haven't even thought about gifts yet. Hmmm...
Wow...you're a lot nice than me! haha I opened them the second I got home but would get mad if DH opened any. HAHAHAHAHA Poor guy!
yea I might have to see if CJ even cares about RSVP's lol I numbered the back of them did you do that? A few girls on here recommended it and I saw a few people on tk doing it to... I seriously think that is the best idea ever!
lol I am not very patient at all... lol I would be staring at the door and then the rsvp envelope then the door then back to the envelope until he got home hahahaha
LMAO that is awesome! It is still early we shall see how this plays out... hahah I got sad once when he opened something that was addresses to both of us with out me hahaha
OH I was over the moon with happiness when I mailed mine out.
Those suckers took so much effort to design and hand-make. RSVPs were fun to open. We had them mailed to my Mum's house, so we would go over once a week and open up a pile of them together.
Exactly, CJ was all hey these are pretty nice! lol I was all i would hope so I spent a couple weeks planning what I wanted them to look like hahahaha
I was super excited too! I even took a pic of myself mailing them
I say you can open the rsvps but open the presents together
I don't think I could have waited to open them together...
No, I hadn't seen anything about numbering the envelopes. I made spreadsheets for the addresses so that I could do a mail merge for the addresses. I just copied the addresses to a new spreadsheet so that I can track the responses along with how much the total food bill will be. I'm a little obsessive when it comes to the budget since we have a tiny one.
I have a pic of all the invites stacked up and ready to be mailed and it was at the Post Office.

@ Shelly, I think you are right about opening the rsvp's myself and gifts together....
@ Danielle, yea, I am super OCD about budget because I don't want us getting to over the top hahaha even though I spent a pretty penny in linens. hahahah I am just getting so excited with how close we are getting, we got our flower girl dresses this weekend and I wanted to cry because they look so freaking cute
Oh you found them! Yay!! I got a picture of my niece in her's on Saturday. And I got the Jr. Bridesmaid dresses in and delivered to the girls.
We are getting really close! I looked at TK today and it said 53 days. Holy geez! It really hit when my sister sent a txt on Saturday and said it was about 6 weeks till the wedding. You have what, one week till you hit the 2 month mark, right?
yea, when I got on the TK this morning it said 68 days! Holy Moly! lol
Yea, I can't believe that is is just about 2 months away, I have my alteration appointment next week, I just need a bustle the length and everything else is perfect
I just can't believe that we only have 9 more weeks! yea we ended up getting her this super cute white dress with a pink sash and my niece got this super ucter white and pink dress... let me see if i can find pictures of them 
ok, so i can't get the pictures to show up on here but i have the links

Ooh! Your niece Kaycee's dress is absolutely adorable!!
The David's Bridal one is so cute!
Here's the flower girl dress I have for mine. We're taking off the white flowers and adding a purple sash. My niece loves it because it makes a good "spinny" dress. http://www4.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6.aspx?DeptID=42249&CatID=68068&GrpTyp=PRD&ItemID=17c7d0a&attrtype=&attrvalue=&CMID=42249%7c42445%7c68066&Fltr=&Srt=&QL=F&IND=2&cmVirtualCat=&CmCatId=42249|42445|68066|68068
Here is the Jr. Bridesmaid dresses. Finding purple dresses for 3 girls all very different sizes was super hard!! They ran out of purple, but thank goodness I got them ordered before they did.
