And here's our draft.


Tonight is the night I finally sat down with my FMIL and fiance to figure out our guest list.  Obviously we won't know a final count until it's all said and down.  We also have a year or so to meet new people as a couple.  But this is giving us an idea of what we're looking at for now.


As you can see (though the picture is rotated on my computer, but different on here) - one side of the guest list is longer than the other.  The left side is those that I am inviting.  It's mostly family.  His side is family and a few friends.  We don't necessarily have mutual friends, but I know his friends and he knows mine.  That's about it.   I feel bad for some reason.  I'm not really sure as to why, but I feel like my guests are going to be dominating the day of the wedding.  I am hoping that as a year goes by, his list will grow with friends and possibly more family.  I know he has no worries about it whatsoever.  He's so laid back about a lot.  I love it.  This blog is just to share my feelings and sort of "vent" about it.  


The majority of us brides have anxiety over our guest list.  Who will come?  Who won't RSVP?  Will there be enough people, chairs, tables, etc?!  I think this is the only part of planning that I absolutely dread!  So, as the year goes by, I will find ways to prevent the anxiety and share it with you. 


So, ladies, I ask you.  Who invited more?  Or was your list pretty much even?

Lucy.... We're getting married!

My first blog post.  I am so excited about being able to share my whirlwind of life with friends and loved ones.  I can only be thankful that I have so many of you to share it with. 


A little background about my blog title.  I decided to name it this because my life is changing each day that I wake.  I have a wedding to plan.  A new job that is challenging.  Living away from home and my family once again.  Life will always throw curveballs at us.  I plan to share my ways on how I embrace it all and take things with stride.


I really hope that my readers enjoy my blog.  I will try to write daily, but it may be a slow start since I still have over a year out for my wedding.  For now it'll be mostly about the everything in between. :)


I thank you in advance for taking time in indulging yourself.  Feel free to leave any sort of comments, opinions, and/or suggestions.


Love,
The future Mrs. Pumpkins
