Ahhhh!! Yay for 8/11! :)

I can say that time does fly!! Now less than 6 months to go...

All vendors are booked and BM dresses have been ordered. Now onto the little things...invites and little crafting things I wanted to do.

How about you??

I know it's crazy! I kinda panicked a bit when I realized its 6 months to go.. I definitely thought I had more time but now it seems more real..

I am going to go down and pick out the tuxes for the groomsmen.. Figure out what I am doing for invitations since I still haven't decided.. Pick out the menu for our buffet.. Call about dance lessons.. Look at a hotel for a group room booking.. Order my garter.. Work on the little details. Hopefully figuring out the rehearsal dinner with dates and who is going.. Been looking at shoes.. Working out and trying to loose weight ;) I know when my bachelorette party is going to be so that will be lots of fun :)

I have all my vendors booked and BM dresses have been ordered and one came in so far. Bought my guest book picture frame..

In some ways I think I am doing OK and sometimes when I compare myself to others on here I feel behind haha.

I have all my vendors, bridesmaid dresses order, tuxes picked out, hotel rooms blocked off, invtitations ordered, a few BM gifts ordered

Need the final details- making the program, menu and other paper things and engagement/bridal portraits to take!

I feel like the details are so much harder than choosing vendors!

Oh, I completely agree! I just hope none of the little things slip through the cracks or I forget! :)

Sometimes I feel like I should have a lot more stuff done though. *sigh*

It looks like you all have everything rolling though and slowly but surely it'll all be done, right?

It should be! I just feel like I'm doing everything myself. My mom isnt really helping (Im 21, so I expect more help from my mom) and all my BM live at least an hour away!

@maggiemay0811: I 100% agree with you.. When I was just booking vendors and getting the main things organized, I thought "this wedding planning stuff isn't so bad". Started feeling confident that things were going good..

Now all the details are coming up and I feel its more difficult.. Now the vendors are asking more questions like exactly how I want the bouquet to look like.. any greenery.. what kind of fabric/ribbon around my bouquet and if I want pearls or decor around it.. etc.. etc.. To how exactly I want the cake to look with the design.. Some of the questions I still can't answer yet.. :(

This weekend I hope to get some stuff done off my check list..

@SportsGal: those questions you mentioned were so hard for me. When I was at the florist I had no clue what to say! I never knew picking out flowers could be so difficult
