THe biggest thing I have to do is finish making the coursages for the moms & grandmothers. I'm making them fabric broaches and I only have about 3 left, so that's not a big deal but they are taking longer than I originally thought... I also need to finish bridesmaids' gifts and then the week of the wedding I have lots of stuff to do, since I'm putting together all of the flowers myself.
Other than that, I'm pretty set... besides packing for the honeymoon! :)
Uh oh. Here's mine.
Finish playlist, guest book, table numbers, place cards, programs, other little paper stuff (all this is being done by a friend) get the marriage license, get MY wedding band, create a slideshow, pick up BM gifts, finish assembling favors, possibly get dress hemmed
if there is enough time, beauty treatments (tanning, facial), call 20 people who did not RSVP.
Hey date twins! I still have lots to do! We have to
Still need to...
- finish designing, print, and assemble our programs
- finish writing our ceremony
- track down missing RSVPs
- do table assignments
Oh... and we still have to have our tasting! We haven't been in the same state as our wedding venue since last July, so our tasting will be happening 1 week before the wedding. I sure hope we like the food, b/c there's really no going back at this point.
Good luck July brides! We're almost there!!!

Hey July Brides!! I've got a double-whammy this month... Our DW is July 10 and we are having a local reception on July 31. What was I thinking?!?! :)
I just have a few things left for the wedding, but most importantly... found out a photographer was not included in our wedding package, so now scrambling for a photographer. We have 23 guests going and I am doing OOT bags for everyone. I have mostly all of the items, just need to do some type of design on the bags themselves. I found these great two-tone beach canvas totes at dollar tree. Thinking of putting beachy themes on them. Palm tree, flip flops, stuff pretty generic so they can use them to take to the pool, shopping around town and such. My dress fitting is June 29. Finally found shoes! Sent flower pics to the resort, just need to figure out how detailed they do their cakes there.
Now, the reception is a different story. Still have to rent a few tables and chairs, finalize centerpieces, but I know what I want... My FI's aunt is a great cake maker, but will be on vacation that week, so don't know if she's doing ours or not. Find a pina colada machine - since we're doing a beach theme!! And still waiting on tons of RSVPs! Depending on numbers, I may have to order more plates/silverware - since it's all outdoors with no kitchen, we are going with the fancy white plastic dishes that can all be thrown away. My mom and FI mom were here this weekend and couldn't believe quality of dishes!
Oh yea, I have no clue what I'm wearing to the local reception!! Gotta find that too!!
Geez, I better go get busy!!
I like this post! It's forcing me to make a "to do" list:
1) Call non-RSVPers (all 54 of them)
2) Make escort cards
3) Decide on band playlist
4) Seating arrangements
5) Escort cards
6) Perhaps programs
7) Menus for reception

10) Make OOT bags
11) Finalize attendant gifts
12) Finish the favors
13) Practice dancing (we're terrible)
14) Pack for honeymoon
15) Attend last dress fitting
16) Find something blue

The big day is July 7th and I'm done. We have to pick up his pants from the tailor and then that's it. I just finished our Just Married sign last night --so glad that's done! All that is left to do is pack and get on a plane to Hawaii.

8)Hope and pray it doesn't decide to rain/storm the evening of the 12th lol we're having our ceremony on the beach (we've been having ~way~ more storms than usual around here lately)
Wow and I thought I had a lot to do!! Here it is:

within the past 2 weeks, we got our marriage license (woohoo!), found and booked our DJ, TOOK OUR ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS!!!!!! (will share pics when we get them), bought colored sandalwood fans for our ceremony (personalized them to double as wedding favors!), ordered personalize boxes for rum cake favors, ordered bubbles for the ceremony, and ordered personalized out of town bags....EDIt, also had my makeup trial last week too....

Hi Ladies,
I thought by now, I'd have a lot more done...but I am a procrastinator. I still have quite a few things on my list.
I am sure there is more but these are the ones I am stressing out about right now.
What do you still have to do?
