    Let's see here, my to do list includes:

    -Write ceremony
    -Write vows
    -Make tissue paper pomanders
    -Figure out something creative for guestbook?
    -Create programs (which will take awhile since I'm doing them with my Cricut)
    -Get marriage license
    -Create escort cards (again, Cricut project)
    -Create table numbers
    -Buy table linens/napkins
    -Buy plastic plates/utensils/cups
    -Buy alcohol- (Bevmo's 5-cent sale end of month!)
    -Pay for rest of cake
    -Buy my wedding ring
    -Reserve hotel for wedding night
    -Have a hair trial
    -Get special music to DJ
    -Finalize menu/wedding day plans with our caterer (not having traditional caterer-having our favorite resturant who we're friends with the owner cater our wedding, but that requires a lot of planning out)
    -Talk with photographer (again, another friendor- still haven't even negociated price)
    -Get gifts for attendents (sorry guys, this is last on my priority list, so you might get a big IOU)

    I know I'm forgetting things, but that's what I can think of off the top of my head. 

    If I had known 9 months ago that my parents were indeed going to be able to contribute financially, I wouldn't have picked the venue I did, because I have to do EVERYTHING by myself.  Our venue is beautiful, and our choices in food/alcohol will be very personal since we had to bring everything in, but sometimes I wish I went slightly more traditional and went with the Country Club that was a little bit more money, but had food/alcohol/table-linens etc. all taken care of. 

    Oh, I also work 60 hours week (40 regular job, 20 hours internship for school).  I have a sneaky feeling that a good chunk of this stuff will probably get done 3 days before when my mom and sister come into town to help me out.

    Your lists look very similar to mine. I'm relieved that I'm not the only one who hasn't booked the hotel room yet!

    My list looks something like this:

     

    Buy Ring Bearer Pillow

    Purchase Garter

    Book Wedding Night Hotel Room

    Pick Up Dress and Have Final Fitting

    Order Table Numbers (Once all RSVP's are in)

    Finalize Centerpieces with Florist

    Make Programs

    Create Photo Reel for Special Viewmaster Escort Card (My Cousin Owns an Awesome Business That Puts Together 3D Viewmaster Reels for Special Events)

    Have Bridesmaid Gifts Engraved

    Buy Gifts for Parents

    Finalize Lists with DJ

    Have Second Hair Trial (Almost there with the look)

    Make Charity Donation In Lieu of Favors

    Finalize with Photographer

    Finalize Menu

    Get Final Cake Design to Baker

    Create Timeline with my DOC

    Pay Remaining Balances

    Participate in Remaining Religious Ceremonies

    And more I'm sure...

    OMG I can't freaking believe it. Did it hit anyone else today that it's actually going to happen? No? Just me? Okay then. :)

    Anyway, my to-do list is thankfully pretty short now (yay not procrastinating for once in my life!!) but there's still some doozies on here:

    -Punch, stamp, and label candy buffet/ escort bags

    -Assemble table numbers

    -Go to wholesale flower store and start getting ideas (I'm DIY'ing)

    -Find flower storage for day before

    -Take dress in for alterations (luckily I found this awesome place that only needs 10 days... I'm still giving them two weeks or more but as I'm still trying to shave off some weight, it's a blessing!)

    Aaaaaand my big, huge one:

    -FINISH MAKING THE VESTS FOR THE GUYS

    That one is going to kill me. Sigh.

    Oh yeah, I have to tea dye my veil and take the programs in to be printed, cut, and then assemble them, too.

    I can't believe we're at the one month mark, ladies!! Every weekend since the 100 day mark has been spent on wedding DIY projects and planning. Hope to not burn out before the wedding ;P

    I still need to...

    • Write vows
    • Confirm with DJ and get music
    • Do the finishing touches for wedding centerpieces and placecards
    • Programs (60% done)
    • Wedding video (20% done)
    • Go for final fitting (tomorrow)
    • Go with bridesmaids to their final fitting (next weekend)
    • Buy alcohol
    • Honeymoond planning (leaving for Greece and Italy 2 days after wedding)
    • and of course...STOP MYSELF FROM COMING UP WITH MORE DIY IDEAS! Really need to work on this one.

    We're almost there!!!
