Um, lots?!!! We've got a short engagement so I'm cranking on high gear. I need to do the following:
Holy crapola, Batman. I need to get MOVING on this stuff :)
Guestbook! I forgot about that! I need to do that too.
And my mom needs to come visit and we need to try baking some cakes. She is baking my cake, but she hasn't done a trial-run yet! I don't want "the cake" to be the first time she tries a new recipe!
"Win the lottery to pay for all this nonsense :)"
Me too!
Haha...would you believe that I still don't have an officiant...? We have the venue, room blocks, transportation, cupcakes, clothing, and just about everything else squared away.
Ugh

Ooh. Getting marriage license would be a good add. Duh. I swear I'm MUCH better at planning other peoples weddings than my own!
For me, from now to 3 weeks before the wedding:

Ohhhhh and once we have a final account I need to tackle the dreaded seating chart..
hm.. we still need to
Ugh.
oh my god.. this question is really terrifying but reading what everyone has to do calms me a bit!!!
Mostly.. I have rehearsal dinner outfits (for both us) - the DIY vases - wine - oh lord...
good luck ladies!!!!!
I didn't make nearly as much progress as I'd hoped I would this weekend. We made it to the mall, but one of the stores I planned on visiting was being renovated (ugh) and FI was really kinda cranky and tired so he didn't try on any clothes (double ugh).
I did get my 2 tissue paper wreaths done and cut all the paper for the remainder of the pomanders :)
Two months to go!
So much left to do!
Oddly, writing this all out makes me feel better instead of overwhelmed!
Hmmm. I look at my list from last week and realized I haven't made a ton of progress, yet I feel like I have :)
I'm off for 3 days starting tomorrow so hopefully I get a lot of this stuff knocked off the list!
Find:
I moved my wedding up from oct to june so i have quite a bit to do:
I think I am forgetting a lot! :-)
1. Find an officiant! **my mom is freaking about this a little...
2. Wedding dress fitting/alterations (first fitting is tomorrow and I have lost like 30 lbs since I ordered by dress so it should need lots of alterations, hopefully it'll all pull together)
3. Finalize table linen order
4. Marriage license
5. Rent porta potties (outdoor ceremony in my parent's backyard... so I am like the only person who gets to go inside to use the restroom lol)
6. Figure out when I'm having my bachelorette party (my MOH is my sister in law and she's sort of a space cadet... ugh...)
7. Finalize guestlist (already have RSVPs for 100 guests but still have potentially 140 more that could come and I am only planning on 200 total...)
8. Pray for good weather. Damn almanac said it could be misty. I have a tent for the reception but nothing for the ceremony. Ugh.
9. Guestbook, card box, cake cutting set, toast glasses
10. Finalize cake flavors and decoration
11. DJ playlist (meeting with him Wednesday to get all the details worked out. Have maybe 50 songs figured out so far... but all the "important" ones are set...)
12. Groom and groomsmen wear needs to be picked out and ordered
13. Figure out if I want programs and/or favors (still on the fence here...)
14. Purchase wine for reception and figure out who I'm having bring the kegs :)
15. Purchase food and eat-ware for the caterers (aka my mom's best friends)
16. Purchase my veil, shoes, hair accessories, jewelery, undergarments
17. Pick up the last piece for my centerpieces (going to IKEA, love that store. The nearest one is 3 hours from here, booo!)
18. Have makeup/hair trial
19. Work out details with my DOC
20. Finish my must-have shots for the photographer
And I'm sure the list is so much longer but that's all I can think of right now. My head is spinning... only 54 days to go!
New updates from me in May:
I don't even want to post on here how much I still need to do. I thought I was so ahead of the game last month! Now I feel so behind. I need more energy to get everything done!!
Well, I have a few days left of finals (my last one is Saturday), so after that I can finally concentrate completely on the wedding! We just bought our wedding bands this past weekend (kind of a spur of the moment thing lol we were planning on waiting until sometime in May), so that's one thing down. We still have a bit to do, though.
General:
Ceremony:
Reception:
Wow, that looks like a lot more to do now that it's all typed out. Can't wait until I can start working on it... May 8.
And somehow...most of all...find time to relax!
