Hello to 2 date twins! @ Ashco-- Good luck in your first 5k! I am a runner who has (finally) worked my way up to marathons and half marathons (thinking about signing up for a half marathon in May just so I have something other than the wedding to obsess over!). Once you start running, you can't stop!!
My March to-do is getting massive! Here is a sampling...
-We still need to find an officiant, which is proving much harder than I anticipated
- Sign contract for bus from reception to hotel
-Finish assembling DIY invites and send out invites by end of March
-Schedule Tasting with reception venue
-Figure out where we are going on our honeymoon
-1st dress fitting
-Schedule hair and make up appointments for wedding day
Ours is
- Find an officiant (ugh... this has been my least favorite and most difficult part)
- Approve proof, get and sent invites
- Book Tuxes
- Pick up my wedding band
- start making FI's band (I'm machining it out of titanium)
- Hair Trial
- Put together Direction and staying here sheets to go out with the invites...
- Probably several other items that I'm forgetting about...
-Approve invitation proofs so they are produced in time
-2nd meeting with Reverend
-Meet with florist
-Order tux's
-Book Honeymoon
-Pick out veil (tonight!)
-Buy wedding bands
@amaroo24-- First, you are MAKING your FI wedding band?! That si awesome!
Also, I totally agree about finding an officiant! I had not anticipated how hard and how expensive this task was going to end up being!
I was last june, but in march all I could think about was invitations!
We also did our pre-marital counseling, booked our honeymoon, and did our tastings!
Good luck! :-)
I'm shocked to say that I don't have much to do this month! Crazy huh? I want to get all of my invitations done so I don't have to scramble to finish them before I send them out in April. I do have a few payments to make, I got the reminders that the 90 day mark is approaching. Writing those big checks kills us a little bit everytime. I'm still waiting for my veil to come in so hopefully I can go pick that up this month too! Everything else is pretty much done or has to wait until closer to the day. Yikes!
OMG 96 days to go! Here's my to do list for March:
-- Address invites and mail them out at the end of the month
-- Hair & Makeup trial
-- Engagement session
-- Pick out men's wear (for FI and GMs)
-- Pick out flower girl and ring bearer's outfits
-- Book DJ and work on playlist
-- Book string quartet
-- Work on ceremony/ meet with officiant
-- Pick out FI's wedding band
-- Food/ cake tasting
-- Plan honeymoon
Ok... this list is getting ridiculous! And it's making me nervous! 
@MsTerrapin, i offered to purchase one for FH. But he thinks it is cool that I can machine metal and have access to a shop with the tools necessary (having a couple of machinests and friends who have done this helps too). It should be fun!
Yay!! I am actually starting to freak out...and not sure if I am thinking of everything!
Here is what I have on my to-do list so far:
Am I missing anything?! AGGHHHH Less than 4 months :D
Yikes!
@mizrunzou I'm having mini freak out's every other day...you arn't alone!! :)
*Approve Invite proof
*Send bridal shower and bachelorette party invites (help mom, FMIL, MOH get addresses)
*Work on ceremony timing/rehersal...find next reader?! aghh lol this job is hard
*PLAYLIST for ceremony and reception! (future hubs job!!!!!!)
*Finish OOT bags
*MAKE PROGRAMS!
*Set up salon/spa appointments for the day of and day before
*Help mom find a rehersal dinner dress
*Finish favors
and prob lots more...
I get a lot done each day though and I love it so much. I am gonna be super sad when it is done which is why I MUST have something wedding related for my career one day...
Whew, where to start...
Hmm I suppose I should save this list somewhere. Ah well, it's all in my head. :)
I have 3 months and 3 days!!!!
1. Groomsmen/Dad went in for suit fitting (we have to order them early since the tan suit selections are so minimal...at least it got the guys moving on their stuff!)
2. Ordered wedding bands - mine will take 4-5 weeks, his will only take a couple
3. Scheduled meeting with Florist
4. Met with reception location to finalize food/beverage
5. Printing invitations and addressing them - I think I will make out early April to give the 8 weeks since we have people traveling to the wedding
6. Scheduled date for shower - but it won't be until May
7. Double checked our honeymoon flights/details to make sure everything is on track
8. Booked doggie daycare for our pups while we will be gone
-Print/assemble invitations
-DIY pomander balls, table signs, escort cards
-Settle the catering and rentals contracts
-Meet with florist and design centerpieces/ceremony decor
-Plan ceremony & do some Catholic paperwork
I'm sure there's a million other things but those are the big ones on my mind right now. The other constant one until June 26 is going to be WORK OUT and spent non-wedding quality time with the future hubs.
Ugh, I have so much still left over from the Feb. list :(
So my ever increasing list:
Finish designing and order invites.
Finish researching and book honeymoon.
Decide with decorator on reception decor.
Find shoes!!!
Order paper for escort cards and other DIY.
Book engagement photo session...better late than never :)
Book our hotel room for wedding night.
Find/order guest book.
Make map of reception site with directions for website.
I have a bunch of finalizing already started plans.
It's coming up so fast!!
-Design invitations and start making them!
-Kick FI in the butt over his and his GM's attire (he hasn't done anything about this yet!)
-Finalize meal selections
-Meeting with two bakeries and hopefully selecting one
-Start looking for rings for FI
-Get my passport paperwork started and sent out
-Meeting with florist and hopefully taking a class to learn how to make my own bouquets!
-Find shoes, jewelry, and fascinator
-Continue looking for decoration
-Work on our playlist for ceremony and reception, then meet with DJ
-Start looking into limo companies
Whoa, hopefully I can get some of this done this month!
Good luck ladies!
Finalize/make final corrections to guest list
second fitting
make up trial
finish up bridesmaids gifts
diet/exercise
get jewlery for dress
get outfits for showers/bachelorette party
this is the weird its far away but oh so close limbo period!
whew! getting sooo close!
i've gotten lots done, though! i have my shoes, the dress is on the way, the invites are mostly done, the guestbook pages are designed, bridesmaids all have their dresses, most of the groomsmen are fitted for tuxes, and the registry is (mostly) finished. just missing some input from FI, who is out on cruise (not the fun kind. the Navy kind, where he's gone for 3+months)
sigh. excited? i guess! 
well - i actually just STARTED an actual list of things I really need to do (total) before the wedding...as for just march:
and that's only half my still to do list! :D
-getting our Korean wedding clothes
-getting our invites printed
-look for shoes
-excercise EVERY DAY!!!!
-first fitting of the dress (it's being custom made for me right now)
-and the hardest thing...find a new place to live!
Hi Guys! Eeek it's getting so close!! Excitement overload, and planning overload, as I was very, very lazy last month!
* Final meeting with priest

* Candy buffet containers
* Finish addressing invitations
* Confirm floral order
* Purchase spa gift cards for bridesmaids
* Schedule hair and makeup trial

We had our reception tasting ...and we have an appt in April for cake tasting ..
The groom needs to gather his men to look at tuxes , hes gone by himself before..so now its just the others..
Eventually book a limo..

We have a DJ ..just need to confirm the music selection..
I think thats about it...Wow ..i don't think i going to be seeing DAYLIGHT on the weekends any time soon..LOL..
I guess it's too late to make a March to-do list. But I'll make this a March/April list:
1) Ask a friend to officiate
2) Ask a friend to do a reading at the wedding
3) Hire a DJ
4) Find clothes for the groom and his men
5) Put a deposit down on the rehearsal dinner location
6) Hire ceremony musicians
7) Have a hair and make-up trial
8) Crafting: moss monograms, aisle decorations, bridesmaid jewelry
I'm actually feeling good about the wedding since the invitations went out on Monday.
* Find and order rings
* Address, put together and send out invites
* Finish ALL DIY projects (85% done)
* Schedule First Fitting for April
* Schedule Makeup Trial for April
* Hit the gym HARD
So far so good.
