Don't stress too much. We went through 4 kids getting married and it all fell into place. Try to find someone who will help you a bit so you're not so stressed. Don't be afraid to ask for help and take a few breaks. Good luck and the 16th is our son's birthday.

My advice to all you Moms of the Bride is to truly consider letting some of your wonderful little extra ideas go. This is from experience. You are probably trying to do too much. Find some friends who have said, "If there is anything I can do.." and let them do something! Buy some of those extra things you want to make, or reconsider and don't have them. It's okay. They can get married without them. Don't let yourself get caught up with tons of little things that will drive you crazy. You don't want to be so busy you miss out on the real little things that happen that actually do matter. You don't want to stress out so much you get sick, or aren't there for your family for their stress. Please do consider what I'm saying. You know it's true. Hugs from a mom whose been there and done too much. Hugs, Jan

LOL. Sally, I know how you are feeling. My lovely daughter is still changing her mind about some of the reception, which is fine if only she would remember to let us know as well. Guess it will be fine on the day. I am thinking of you each day. Hugs

Mine are fine Sally. I know you are going through a lot at the moment, but it will all work out and be fine on the day. Just relax and let it all fall into place. Love and blessings Chris
