    Wow! I think you are so far ahead of me. We have a church, officiant, reception hall, photographer, caterer, and dress. I've started designing std's, bouts, and a few decorations, but I'm waiting on my guest list to be finalized before I do too much. I'm still trying to find bridesmaid dresses with no luck. I've found a bunch I like, but I'm not asking my girls to spend that much money. Once I find those, I know my colors for sure--I'm debating on what shade of blue I want.

    Good luck planning!

    Date Twin!! We've been engaged for over a year so we have lots finalized. So far we've secured a photographer, DJ, venue, florist, DOC, my dress and almost all accessories, we've taken e-pics, and have other random odds and ends. The next things we need to figure out are hotel blocks and transportation. Hopefully once we get all of our e-pics back we can design and send out STDs. I can't believe it's less than 8 months away!!!

    Booked, a venue, picked the menu, booked the church, tried on a million dresses, hated them all, picked a photog (havent booked yet), picked the DJ (negotiating), made our dream guest list (all 464 guests, cut 100 so far, another 64 left to cut), asked 6/7 groomsmen, asked 2/7 bridesmaids.

     

    I feel a bit behind, but Im currently trying to find a job back home (where FH lives, and the wedding will be, and 300 miles away from where I currently work and live.) and we're in the middle of buying a house (which isnt as fun as it looks on tv!)

    I'm dreading the guest list! We've yet to combine both of our families' lists. We've got all of wedding party. I think I might have just found b-maid dresses at target. $40 only & cute. I found flower girl dresses for the same price, but I'll be waiting to order them until March or so to make sure they will fit. My flower girls will be 2 years old.

    Yay date twin! We've booked the ceremony & reception locations, caterer, cake-maker, officiant, photographer and are pretty close to nailing down the DJ and ceremony musicians. We've chosen our colors - green, gray, white and dusty rose. I have ordered my dress and am letting my BM's choose their own... so hopefully they are making progress on that.  I'm doing my own invitations and floral arrangements/centerpieces. We had our engagement party and took our e-pics. I don't know if I'm going to send save the dates yet... kind of seems like a waiste of trees to me personally. I think that's it! Good luck and keep us updated!

    Yay May! I feel a little behind. I have my dress, booked the church & reception venue, booked caterer, and booked the DJ. I am interviewing florists now & in doing my own invites, but no save the dates for me. I'm letting my BMs pick out their own dresses. My FI is in New Mexico & I'm in Idaho so were waiting till next month when he comes home for the LAST time before our wedding to finalize the menu and pick out his attire. I'm lucky because most girls where I live can plan their weddings in 5-6 months with no problems so I thought I was wayyy ahead haha. Well, at least here I am. Our wedding is also the week after finals spring semester so I want to have everything done so I don't lose it lol.

    me! I love our date! :)

     

    I've booked our venue/caterer/rentals (all the same), photographer, and ceremony musicians. We have finalized our menu, are working on the save the dates now, and I have my dress. I have a ton of DIY details planned, we're pretty sure about an officiant, and I'm planning on doing the bridesmaid dress hunt over thanksgiving.

    We have our venue (ceremony will be on private beach and reception at the yacht club), our officiant (a childhood friend will do the ceremony and our Priest will 'bless' the marriage at a later date), our photographer, and my dress.  We know where we'll be getting the cake, flowers, and where I'll have my hair and makeup done.  The bridesmaids will be given a color and can choose any dress they want.  My niece's bf will be doing our music (live acoustic and ipod) and my sister's best friend will be our DOC.  I feel pretty good, especially considering we just moved the date from 2011 to 2010 over the weekend!

    Hello date twins!! I'm really ahead but that is because I am moving from the town where I am having the wedding to half way across the country (my FI is in the Army) in two weeks. We have secured the DJ, Photographer, Florist, Hotel Block, Transportation, Reception Venue, Ceremony Site, and Officiant; finalized the menu; purchased wedding gown and bridesmaid dresses; semi DIY-ed favors; purchased lots of odds and ends/accessories/linens/etc. We still have lots to do but the big things on the to-do list now are... cake and booking the honeymoon!!

    Happy 5 month pre-versary!  :)  Yay!

    I've got my dress, BM dresses, a website, a venue, ceremony decorations & musicians, an officiant, a caterer, gifts, a photographer, DJ, a DOC, and Save the Dates sent!

    I'm working on invitations (we've got to make them), suits for the guys, a hotel block, favors, reception decorations (we're 90% done), flowers, booking a tent (rain plan!), and altering my dress. 

    My FI is doing the honeymoon, and my awesome FSIL is taking care of the rehearsal dinner! 

    Whew!  It's creeping on up!  Yay!

    I have my dress & we know what rings we want to get & we booked the honeymoon. & that's about it! I have my cake baker (my roomie) & a videographer (family friend) for sure. I'll find out about the photographer this week. & we know who is going to marry us.

    We know what he's going to wear, we just have to buy it. We still need to ask our BM & GM but we know they'll all say yes. I picked out what color dress they should wear too, but I'm gonna let them pick their own style. We're deciding on what we want the GM to wear.

    Finalizing the guest list this week & will print save the dates by the end of Feb & mail out invites by mid march, we're waiting to see if we can book the venue (a local church), otherwise we'll just use a different church.

    I know I'm behind but we'll have everything together soon :). Not even stressing either, everything just keeps getting better & better for us!
