    What's on your to-do list this month? Ours:

    Contact baker re: groom's cake for rehearsal dinner (a surprise to FI)

    Contact rehearsal dinner location to coordinate delivery of groom's cake

    Finish invitations (lining envelopes, ribbon belly bands, wedding website insert for directions, accommodations)

    Finish table numbers

    Set appointment for first dress fitting in September (just in case... :))

    Finalize music decisions and send list to DJ

    Start designing wedding signs (plywood cut to size, painted, messages stenciled on for sign welcoming guests as they drive into the venue, sign pointing toward parking, sign pointing toward extra restrooms/smoking area off to the side of the venue building)

    Finish blackboard signs (small one for guestbook table, medium one for buffet)

    Order bridesmaids gifts (custom clutches from Etsy seller rejenerate)

    Hm. These lists are making me nervous! Today, we are exactly 5 months out. Eeek!

    So as not to further depress myself, I'll list what we've done:

    -booked venue and caterer and scheduled tasting (need to choose menu though... we're having a vegan wedding)

    -booked baker and set up tasting

    -booked dj

    -booked photographer

    -booked officiant (my brother... need to write the ceremony)

    -we've had two engagement sessions, and we're having a third in September

    -bought my dress (waiting for it come in... likely in August)

    -picked out bridesmaids dresses

    -started on centerpieces

    -set up registries

    -purchased wedding bands (we did this first, actually)

    -sent invitations (wedding is weekend before Thanksgiving. guests have appreciated the notice)

    -bought flight for September planning extravaganza (we're getting married in Florida but live in DC)

    I don't even know what's left to do... we have to find cake inspiration, go shopping with the boys, find gifts for everyone, get my accessories, pick out music, figure out favors, and lots of other stuff. oh geez.
