    @Mrs. Fireworks:  You're on the ball! I'm about even with you though. And eeeek, I got an email reminder from one of my registries yesterday telling me "5 months to go! You still need to do *insert long list of things here*". It made me freak out a little lol

    yay for us!!!  I have a lot done, mostly just down to a few things now...

    order Jones soda (favours)

    order custom baseball bat (our guest book)

    find a crinoline

    buy a bra

    get hubby to get measured for his tux

    get him to figure out what he is doing for gm gifts...

    need to make I spy cards.

     

    I made our invites, so all that is left to do is address them and mail them Late March.  My veil and headpiece arrived this week...girls gifts are done, so i really don't have alot to do, but i am bored so i keep coming up with little things i can do just to break up my boredom..lol

    July 21st here too!

    Don't worry-I still have to order my invites.  I don't plan on mailing them out until the first week in June.  I sent save the dates, so think I am safe.  All the important stuff is booked.  It is getting close!   I hope we all have nice weather!

    @lilgrizzlygirl:  New England, where the weather is notorious for changing frequently..the saying is, "if you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes".  We are having it outdoors, so I am hoping for the best.  Are you outdoors too?  If it should rain, it is out of our control...just would stink if there's lightening (don't think a band or caterer will be safe).  I heard it is supposed to be a pretty dry summer.

    wow there are a few of us, awesome!!  I just mailed our invites out on friday, and people are texting me to say they got them today..so at least Canada Post isn't wreaking havoc on my invites.lol

    I mailed ours out early because we are getting married in Nova Scotia, but we actually live in Ontario, so I need the replies back at an earlier date.  I have to leave for NS at the beginning of july to get our marriage licence and do my hair trial etc.

    other than that, the only things left on my list are to go for a fitting and get alterations if needed, and pay for stuff...everything else is actually done and ready. lol

    I sent our invites out last Monday and got our first reply cards over the weekend.  I was so excited that I started happy dancing like a crazy person.  So much to do, but I can't wait!!!!!!
