Gift giving... wedding things...

...overwhelmed...
I think that would be my #1 'emotion' - thru these whole life events... (Getting married in April. Looking for a house to buy. Raising a Boston Terrier puppy....)

Overwhelmed with "To do" lists
Overwhelmed with "make a decision"

I think I somewhat fit...

Everyone keeps telling me, "your wedding day is about you and B and what you want..."
It is. But also about our fam/friends/guests... and about a BUDGET
Example: Food serving bbq chicken and turkey. Along with (maybe) mushroom ravioli.

BBQ meat b/c MOST of the ppl  coming like me and it will be easier to have budget wise. (With the help of B's groomsman, D - who is a manager for a BBQ joint. And will be giving us a discount.)

Mushroom ravioli - I like it. It is vegetarian - so the few veg eaters will have an option.
Well, J (bridesmaid) is allergic to mushrooms. I don't see how this will be "THAT BIG" of a deal - b/c they will be separate. Just say away from the rav. I thought about having cheese rav instead, but I don't want to eat cheese rav.  (I won't eat bbq meat.)
So unless/until I come up with a different veg option, we are having mush. rav. And J will just have to stay away. If she can eat in restaurants with other tables eating mushrooms. Then she can do it at my wedding.
It should be fine. It's a wedding, not a 5th grade lunch food fight...

Bridal showers
Wow.
1 down 2 to go.
1st one was good. A lot of my mom's friends were there - some I barely known, or haven't met before.
It is always a blessing to receive gifts. It's awesome - just makes me feel a little awkward getting gifts from ppl I barely know or don't know..
I know I don't - but in my head, I feel like I might "owe" them something. I know it's silly.
I am not that materialistic of a person - and when someone spends their hard earned money on me, it is a BIG deal to me.
I feel blessed, but slightly awkward about it. Idk. I'm weird.

So I have 2 more to go. 1 is at work - all the ladies . D just sent out a mass invite to the ladies.
So other than 3 co-workers that are invited to the wedding, no body else is.
(Hey come to my wedding shower and buy me a gift, but oh by the way, you are not invited to the wedding.. -gulp-)

The last one is 'family' S is throwing it - where idk. And the family coming, I have met once, at the reunion last yr. IF you call that meeting them. Other than, S, S' mom, K, AK, and my mom - I am not really "friends" with them and they aren't invited to the wedding - I would LOVE to invite everyone but I can't. The venue only allows so many, and I can't afford to feed that many ppl.
I feel 'bad' for having a shower, and not being able to have them at the wedding...

I guess if they didn't want to come / didn't want to buy me a gift, they wouldn't. No one is forcing them to.
So ya...

hahha.
