    I am in a constant state of OMG!!! :)

    We have our rings, license, and I had my final fitting (she even put something blue under my dress - good thing since I am not wearing a garter).

    I have my appointment for my mani/pedi (might try to throw in a massage)

    Still have to finish:

    • place cards (and table assignments - UGH), programs
    • pew decorations
    • my aisle runner
    • plan a rehearsal dinner (at the house).

    Sounds like alot. WHEW!!! Thank God I am off the entire week before my wedding.

    I hope we can all stay encouraged and keep it together. :)

    Table assignments were the most gruelling for us. Be sure not to leave those to the last minute like we did!

    Good luck with everything, take a breather when you can, and try and enjoy the mayhem! :)

    I feel your pain on the table plan/placecards issue, I don't dare put pen to paper for ours yet since we now have guests who had already RSVP'd as a yes saying they may not be able to get the day off work! Yeesh! They've had since mid january to arrange holiday and NOW they tell me this?! hehe.

     

    Totally know where you're coming from - I want to just snap my fingers and be there with Mr Panda saying our vows and never mind about the last few details!

    I feel like I still need to do mini to-do lists for myself so I don't forget all of the small things.  Everything is getting dropped off at our venue the Tuesday of the week of the wedding so hopefully it will be stress free the days leading up to the wedding.

    Well FI found a caterer for the rehearsal dinner. I made serious headway on my DIY projects (can't wait to post pics). I at least know what I will do for programs and place cards. Getting there slowly but surely.

    • Maybe OOT bags or mini OOT bags....
    • Finish up ceremony/reception decor
    • Get materials to baker and Florist this week!
    • Get final info. to hotel for bill, food, seating chart... 
    • Get final bill from other vendors and give them all needed final info.

    I guess I'm just in a state of craziness... I'm such a procrastinator and know that I should've done Sooo much more before now...like be wayy more diligent about so many things..like working out,etc.

    But I can only cross my fingers now and buckle down this week and next so that I can feel that my wedding will be hopefully successful (esp. after this entire yr. and 1/2 of planning! sheesh!)

    Good luck bees!!!!!

    @smiles1979 - I see some stuff on your list that I have to ADD to mine. LOL

    I'm just glad that I am not alone and now I don't feel so bad. :)

    I think we finally have cut off the RSVPs and have a firm count, too.

    @Deaconbride: Aww...hugs! Sorry to make you feel ya need to add anymore to your list. sigh! I know how that feels...

    Yes, I agree...at least we aren't alone...;)  Glad you have your firm count...though

    I am not ready in some ways...but ready in others...

    For one - not ready (other than my big list) is that I haven't worked out very much in the last weeks...ack!

    So, I need to get myself going on that..of course....and maybe that will help me with my sleeping at night too.

    I'm just a mess..haha. I can ONLY hope that I can pull off feeling like a wonderful bride the day of! :)

    hugs!
