Feeling close! Almost all DIY done, still have:
The venue is bar far the most stressful, they don't return phone calls and I'd like to go over some things as the date approaches! I've gotten a lot of the "paper stuff" done and other projects as well as almost all the RSVP's in so that feels great!
Hope everyone's hanging in there!
Ahh! Time is zooming by all of a sudden. Here's the to-do's on our list:
We have a lot to do!Writing this out will get me to move on this stuff for sure.
EEK, time is FLYING by!
I’ve got a fair amount of DIY left, because it’s stuff I can’t really start until we get all of our RSVPs back (escort cards and table configurations), and until we decide on our bar situation (menu cards). I’ve done what I can with those, so just waiting on RSVPs at this point.
Also need to:
• Order flowers for bouquet
• Buy centerpiece vases
• Have final 2 dress fittings
• Pick up wedding bands (should be ready on August 1)
• Make rehearsal dinner invites
• Send out rehearsal dinner invites
• Pick out music (we’ve got some picked, but not the major songs lol)
• Get second pair of shoes for reception in case my heels hurt too much
• Order alcohol for rehearsal dinner
• Making OOT bags
• Create seating chart
• UGHHHHHHHHHH so much to do, but little motivation to do it….
I'm a july 31 bride having an aug 6 reception (from when we get back from our intimate destination wedding)!
Here's my last to do list:
I don't even know what there is to do. I am somewhat hoping that anything I haven't done already doesn't matter.
I think I'm pretty well along. I have a seating chart done, only waiting to see if there will be final changes.
How did time creep up so quickly? It will be less than 20 days on Monday!
@Kittyachi: don't worry. I'm in the Oy Vey category too.
To make most everyone feel better about their list- here's mine!
..... oof.... i think I have to throw up all over my wedding binder now...
I feel like we have everything to get ready:
My List:
I'm sure there's a million more things I'm forgetting!
My to-do list seems to be growing, rather than shrinking!
-reserved signs for church
-photobooth signs
-bathroom basket signs
-buy snacks and water for OOT bags
-design and assemble programs (i still need to find a style that i like)
-finish cross-stitching the escort table sign (i'm half way done)
-buy cords for handfasting ceremony
-buy frames and print out old family wedding photos
-finish groomsmen gift purchasing (i decided on monday that i wanted to make them tie envelopes as part of the gift, this took about 2 days to do)
-escort tag labels for jam jars
-name tags for tables (design, print and assemble)
-table seating arrangements
-marriage license
-bring all the table numbers (chalkboards on stakes) to the florist
-assemble kids gift buckets
i know there are things i'm forgetting. i keep adding onto a giant list when i remember something. i need to start carrying around my little wedding notebook so i can cross things off as i do them!
tonight is my last dress fitting!
I'm actually feeling really good.
Our biggest projects left are the last 35 fan programs and centerpieces.
The centerpieces we'll most likely finish up this weekend. Need to cut 6 more 1.5Ls then spray paint #s on them all.
The thing still stressing me out is the BM gifts.
Other minor stuff:
@TheFutureMcBride: We are doing converse too; we went to Shoe Carnival and FYI they had a buy one get one half off sale! So I think the final cost came down to $33 per pair.
aaaaa.....aaaaa.....aaaa.... 1. DON'T PANIC
Trying to stick to number 1.
2. seating chart
3. dress fitting! (having serious issues with this :( )
3. signs
4. other stuff...
It seems like every time someone tells me how many days left I say one number, but then it's actually like 4 days less! Time if flying!
My list:
starting to really freak out but even my freaking out in on hold because my wedding planning agency is CLOSED THE ENTIRE WEEK!!!!!!!!!!

2 weeks to go and while I thought I had all planning pretty much in check, my to-do list is a lot longer then I had hoped! :p One of the important things have been crossed off as per yesterday: I had my last dress fitting and was able to take my dress back home, it's now waiting for the big day at my mums. :)
On top of the list I had just to add a new To Do as well: find a new hairdresser/makeup artist cause the one I had booked just cancelled on me!! /panic Apart from that very stressful addition the list is as follows:
- FIND A NEW HAIRDRESSER/MAKEUP ARTIST
- meet with the officiant
- Grooms attire
- Grooms wedding watch
- finalize details at the restaurant
- music selection
- some paperwork
- figure out photolocation for our wedding pics
- decorations for the house/garden
- and prolly some other lil things I forget!

Sorry, there are no users yet.
Ok! Only 2 - 6 weeks left! Can you believe it? Time to check in again with all the rest of the frazzled August brides.
What's left on your to-do-before-"we-do" list? What are you most stressed about? What do you feel super relieved to finally check off the list?
