I don't know if I like the dress I picked out any more. My friends have suggested that I stop looking at it, and just remember how it made me feel on the day I found it, and also have been mentioning that the veil changes a lot of perspectives when it comes to the dress for most brides. Other brides on The Knot have explained that they also went through a dress-doubting anxiety attackish type thing a few months before their wedding, so I'm not alone in this it seems. I'm not the ONLY crazy one, basically.
My doubt has gotten better since last week (my one friend was very right on with her suggestion that I quit looking at the photos we took of me in the dress at my first fitting...), and I feel less angsty about it now. But still...it freaks me out a little bit.
I also think I found the invitations I want, and of course I gave the invitations lady the wrong count on the number we'll need when she was working up the estimate for me. I keep thinking about how we're inviting roughly 200 people to the wedding. So I gave her that number, and it took me 5 days - five!! - to remember that that number is the total number of guests we are inviting. However, many of them live together, in a very handy fashion, like our parents, and our parents' friends, and lots of our friends, etc, etc...so, we don't NEED 200 invitations! We need about 90. I'm thinking of rounding up to 110, just to be safe. I've asked for the invitation-lady's advice on that front, though. She knows better than I how many "extra" we might need when it's all said and done.
The nice thing is that this helps cut the invite costs in half, so that's always fun. Dad wants me to look into other invitation options before settling on this one. I'm pretty sure that the kind that I want would either be roughly the same amount as these ones, or possibly more. But I'll check into it this weekend, and find out for sure. 'Cause I'm a good daughter like that. Dammit.
