Ok next on my list if I remember correctly is: flowers, look for BM shoes, call venue and set up tasting, p/u BM dresses when they come in, FH to start looking at tuxs.. Think that is it really for March/April list as of now. I am sure things will come up and many things have already been crossed off. I looked today and 164 days until the wedding! Very exciting! Oh yes and I want to start my diet/excercise program also :) (I'm with you @kitamana!)

I want to start by listing things I've actually accomplish since my last update so I feel better about having a lot left!

Recently accomplished:

*bought men's suits

*found BM dress (still needs to be ordered)

*began registries

Next of list:

*DJ (still!)

*Invitations

I like to keep my lists small so they seem accomplishable!

uggggghhh. The whole month of March was useless to me in terms of wedding planning. Now it's time to kick things into high gear.

Invites! Invites! Invites!

And figure out BM dress color debacle.

Oh, I like the idea of this thread! Hopefully it'll keep me on track, because mostly what I've been doing is FREAKING that there are less than 5 months:

Things other people keep holding up! (is this happening to anyone else?):

-Book make-up appointments (even though the salon keeps saying it's too early to book)

-Go for dress fitting (ditto on above, the bridal shop says it's too early to book)

-Print programs (our church is NOT getting back to us about the ceremony choices, no matter how often I email)

Things I'm mostly on top of:

-Book honeymoon

-Choose wedding jewelry

-Finalize first dance choice and all other special dances

-Finalize music selection

-BM gifts

Things I haven't even thought of:

-Design/send invites
