I want to apologize if I’ve been a little absent around here lately, but I have a good excuse.
This week, after several weeks of worrying and contemplating and many months of not being happy, Mom H and I decided to part ways with our wedding coordinator. I think that our communication was bad from the beginning as to what we were both expecting as the clients and as the vendors.
I jumped the gun when we got engaged and thought we HAD to have a planner, but, in all honesty, I ended up doing a lot more of the work then I ever thought I would be capable (or willing) to do. We still intend to hire a day of coordinator, but I won’t be posting more on this because I feel like the whole subject is finally water under the bridge and I would like my last few months of wedding planning to be as drama and stress free as possible.
On that note, being the planner that I am, I emailed one of my bridesmaids about the bachelorette party as it is approaching quickly (and Mom H accidentally spilled the beans that we would be going somewhere overnight). We decided to do it about 2 months before the wedding, because I know how crazy things will get and I really want to enjoy my time with them and, once again, I’m a planner. That being said, I emailed her today to find out what kind of clothes I should wear and received this response:
Hey Miss Hydrangea,
I figured someone would spill some details, but I didn’t think it would be Mom H!! That’s funny!! Don’t worry actually Mom H’s spilling of details was a planned decoy by Bridesmaid Hydrangea and I

In regards to attire, I figured you would want to know what to wear/bring, so I sent an invitation especially made for you. Enclosed are details that only you will receive and need to know for the big day. If you have any more questions after receiving the invitation just let me know. It should be arriving this week sometime, so be on the look out. If does not come this week due to the 4th, then I will email you the details if you plan to go shopping this weekend.
I disclosed that this was all a secret in all the invited, so I hope no one else gives any hints. Well hope things are going good and work week okay. I’m sure you are looking forward to a 3 day weekend, which I’m sure will be filled with wedding stuff
Oh it never ends until the day. Well I hope this helps and I will ttyl!!
love,
Bridesmaid Hydrangea
Seriously, HOW EXCITED AM I?!?!? I can’t wait to see my special invite!
Am I the only one having their bachelorette quite a bit earlier then their actual wedding date?
I’m having mine on July 26, and my wedding is October 12. My MOH is in veterinary school, so the summer’s a way better time for her to do wedding stuff. And the 26th was the only time we could get all the ladies together!
I had my Bridal Shower on June 21 too — it’s almost nice to have these parties spread out a bit so it’s not so much all at once, too close to the wedding.
