Bride brain is real everyone!

So I ordered these beautiful save the dates from Shutterfly and got an amazing deal on them. As I am getting addresses and getting them ready to send, it seems like I'm barely making a dent in my pile. I finally get all the save the dates done for our 168 guests and I have this giant pile still. I ordered 175 copies so I would have a few extras just in case and I have around 50 left over. I'm freaking out thinking "What happened? Did I forget people?? I should only have 7 extra!"

Well it turns out that I got a little over excited while ordering, and ordered enough save the dates for each guest...disregarding that most are going to one household for multiple people (i.e. couples and families). LOL. I now have about 55 beautiful copies of our save the dates just in case 50 guests lose them haha.

So just remember forum friends... something will go wrong while planning. We just have to find the funny and good in all of the minor hiccups! I had a really good laugh when I realized what I did, and I hope you found it funny too!

Happy planning!! Smiley smile

    We were so concerned that we had so few STDs left, that we WAY over ordered our invitations.

    And now we have several dozen invitations sitting in our house, and the wedding was 6 weeks ago. Whee!


    ...I hope we didn't under order our thank yous to overcorrect, lol...
