I feel like I have most of the big things covered except for the caterer. I've been slowly but surely buying the little things like my assessories, favors, etc. I won't be able to finalize things like appointments for spray tan/manicure/pedicure until much closer to the date, so for now I'm trying to relax. :)
I just need an officiant and a DJ..otherwise everything big is done :)
We have the save the dates, but need to mail them out. Hopefully they will go out in the next week. My sister was nice enough to address them for us!
On the to do list still are: photographer, DJ, honeymoon registry (which means we need to decide where to go!), website is up but needs more content, hotel block (might get done on Thurs), bus/shuttle reservation for hotel guests, BM/GM attire, grooms attire, invites, and then all the little details which can't be done until closer to the day.
I have to say we are feeling pretty calm too. I would even better if we could book a photographer, DJ and decide on a honeymoon. Then I feel like the rest will just fall into place.
I feel like we're doing oK. It's DW for all of our guests in Wyoming. STDs are arriving on my doorstep today, wooot!
I need to:
pick a photographer (I have 3 top picks and I'm watching their work)
pick out some invitations (I have my eye on a few)
get an officiant (just emailed a judge yesterday)
figure out a ceremony location (we have a few spots at our venue to choose, kind of will depend on a head count)
get dress altered (it's a JCrew dress but too long)
find an outfit for FI
make up a play list (going the iPod route)
My wedding will be on July 28th, and I have a good bit done already:
Booked
Dress(!!)
Venue
Caterer
Florist /Decorator
Bride and Groom Cake
Officiant
Photographer
Rehearsal Dinner
Bridesmaid Dresses
Save the Dates!
Need to Finalize
My Shoes
Hair & Makeup
Mail STDs (Jan)
DJ
Lighting
Invitations
Programs
Bridesmaid Shoes
Guestbook/Ring Bearer pillow, etc.
Honeymoon
Bridesmaid Luncheon
Favors
We still need to (in no particular order):
Oh geez. I still need:
Invitations (hopefully picking those next week)
Florist (I have appointments on Monday)
Groomsmen attire
Accessories (shoes, veil, undergarments)
Honeymoon (omg, I really need to do this one immediately--it's the one I really feel the most time pressure on right now)
There's also things that need to happen but I'm less worried about like the picking a hairstyle, cake/menu (need to decide on what we want, but the caterer is booked and suggested we wait til closer to the date to finalize) or can't do yet (like seating charts).
We're July 7, and I still need:
-Transportation
-Hair/Makeup Appointment
-Make my iPod DJ list
-finish pre-martial counselling
-buy his shirt
-he still needs to ask 2 groomsmen
- dress/suit fittings
- make programs
-Stuff favours
-Book plane ride for the honeymoon (but the hotel is booked)
And, actually, I think that's my entire list. Yay!
Reading everyone's comments is making me worried! We still need:
-transportation
-attire for bridesmaids, groom, groomsmen, flower girl, ring bearer
-florist
-hair and makeup
-my accessories (shoes, veil)
-invitations and programs
-favours
-figure out who can be our MC
@mrsk2b: Yay date twins! I feel like we get the best of both worlds because it's the Friday after 4th of July so people will probably have time off, plus you get a whole weekend after the wedding to relax/spend time with friends and family before they have to leave!
Anyway, here's what I still need to do:
-STDs (waiting to get our engagement pics back so we can use them...hurry up photographer!)
-Invitations (have my eye on the ones I love, which I will probably order soon)
-Guy's attire
-Ipod playlist (no DJ)
-My shoes and jewelry
-Hair and makeup
-Book honeymoon
-Figure out florist--we were going to order through a wholesaler and arrange them ourselves the day before/of, but might end up hiring a friend of a friend, we'll see
-My dress alterations
I'm sure there's tons more but those are the big ones!
Oooh! Everyone's on top of things! We still need:
@ck_stella16: yay date twin! I am so happy with this date as the wedding is in Ireland but many guests will be coming from the States so they will have some time off around that date anyway!
Ooh, just booked my makeup person today - one more thing to check off the list!
Wow, I am definitely not on top of things. Then again major things are done- got the venue, dress & the groom, the rest I'm not stressing too much over.
Left to do:
ehh I'm sure there is more but it will all get done... I hope :)
Omg are you guys kidding me right now? Haha wow, I am one big wedding slacker apparently.
This is what I have done:
My hardest thing so far has been hotel rooms... Unfortunetly all of the hotels by my venue are booked and really only have a handful of rooms available total. So now my guests are going to have to drive a good distance, and sit in beach traffic. So now I guess I get to add guest transportation to my venue as well and find a shuttle or something. Oh Joy!
Hope everyone else's planning goes well. :)

it is 8 months exactly to my wedding and I feel so friggin relaxed about it that I can't help but wonder whether I am forgetting some things that I should be worrying about!
I still need to finalise my invitations, hire a videographer, finalse the church music, get my accessories (veil, shoes etc.) buy my wedding bands, organise a bus to bring guests from hotel to church and back...but I feel like all these things have plenty of time to be done!
Are you ladies feeling on top of your planning or have you got tons left to do?
