    I am SO EXCITED!!!!

    We got our marriage license yesterday and I finally signed off on the final round of proofs for all our day-of paper goods.

    On my list still:

    -ordering cakes (we aren't having a wedding cake - just multiple "normal" cakes)

    -finalizing full day-of timeline

    -confirming with all vendors

    -figuring out what remaining balances are for all vendors and when they need to be paid

    -send limo company schedule and list of addresses for pick ups

    -email song list to DJ

    -find non-ugly/non-tacky stickers for placecards to indicate entree selections

    -seating chart (RSVPs due this Friday)

    -submit meal choices to venue

    Other than little tiny details that's about it. I think (hope) we are in a good place and can cruise through to the wedding day with minimal stress levels.

    SO. FREAKING. EXCITED.

    I'm was excited until last weekend.  Now I wish I could call it off. I hate my in-laws and they are making me sick at this point. 

    The only tasks I have to do are:

    • Meeting musicians for ceremony
    • Seating chart
    • Send final numbers to florist/caterer
    • Make card box

    @nskillet: We're using the same designer/printer who did our invites. Invites were letterpress, but he was able to do all the day-of stationery as flatprinted items that match our invitation suite.

    6.  Get license (next week)

    7.  Finalize honeymoon details (transportation while there)

    8.  Buy FI's wedding band!
