Yay! Finding a dress for us ladies is hard, but do-able. Finding clothes for the kids and Dustmite is stressful! We rented The Great Gatsby from the library and watched it the other night to get in the mood. I wish I were super rich and could really go all out!!

I’m so glad your giving out details. Nothing (except having a baby) is more exciting than a wedding. 1920’s, gangsta, how cool is that. I rented a 1920’s dress from Big Ed’s in the old city one time for Halloween. If money is a problem for some of your guests they might try Big Ed’s. Just a suggestion.

Just a suggestion for wardrobe–the Oak Ridge Playhouse rents their costumes. I have no idea what their selection and prices are but might be worth checking into. Have fun planning!

Pssst… you might want to e-mail a picture, so that any of the rest of us make sure not to buy or make one just like it. I mean, I know better than to wear white, but this theme might make it more complicated.

Hmm. Perhaps we should send you a present in alcoholic form. Rum running is in the family, you know.

We had a 20’s birthday party for my hubby a few years ago and I bought a pricey reproduction twenties dress. Not your standard slutty flapper ensemble. I also made a matching headband and have a long strand of pearls. Size 10-ish. If you know anyone who might be interested they can email me.

I was about to say something about peacock feathers, then I noticed that girl in the pic with all the ostrich feathers, so nevermind. :)

MB, I know of two people who might interested in your dress and accessories… I don’t know how to find your email, though.
