sounds like you and me are pretty much on the same page.
do you feel free to let anything go? I opted out of programs. I just don't want to, they can't make me!
I was going to do menus too (just two, in a frame on the bar) but since it's a buffet, I don't have to. so I might skip it.
I've gotta assemble programs, stuff welcome bags, trim place cards, buy some disposable stuff for welcome dinner (think rehearsal dinner but we invited all out of town people and made it super-informal), talk to caterer for welcome dinner. I still haven't made a decision on wedding jewelry but at least my mom has some options to borrow. I was hoping I'd see a necklace I liked and it would be my wedding gift from FI (we are pretty open about what we want for gifts and getting those things for each other).
Next week we're supposed to talk to the photographer and the band on the phone. I figure we need to get our act together and get a more detailed timeline in place before talking with them - I've bookmarked the one from Ms. Candy Corn http://www.weddingbee.com/2008/08/13/wedding-weekend-timeline/
THIS made me LOL at my desk, mostly because that is exacty me.
"I'm so lazy, I'd rather donate money to charity than stuff almonds into fussy little bags."
This also prompted a LULZ mental image of someone literally fumbling almonds into a shiesty little bag. Still laughing!
Wedding: Aug 20th
Stuff left to do:
janie-janie: Ugh. It's a full Catholic mass, so I think a program is kind of a must - masses are long, and with lots of stuff going on!
Reception is a month away, thank GOD!
I still have to:
Get the ceremony wording and music choices to the officiant
Buy a damn slip
Print out hair picture inspiration for hairdresser ( I hope she can work wonders)
Get hair trimmed and eyebrows WAXED (they are huge)
And pack, pack, and some more packing - hoping I don't forget anything!
Hi Bees!
i am 8/27
Unfortunatly I went like a lunitic for the last 8 months, sooooo I am completly finished and bored out of my freaking mind! I even went to the extent of seperating and labeling each box so the venue knows exactly what goes where (kind of a fanatic:)
my biggest worry is the weather. This is the first year Pa has had tornados and I am so afraid teh rain wont hold off!
@jotasevic: OH MY GOD .... I forgot to check the weather!!! IT SAYS SHOWERS ON MY WEDDING DAY!!!!
I am having a park wedding with NO BACK UP PLAN!!!!!
@tranquility: Have you looked on amazon.com for the metal bowl thingys?

Try that link. If you don't like the one that pops up, there are tons of others in different sizes and prices farther down the page in "customers who viewed this page also viewed."
Ok bees! we have 10 days to go for 8/27! Almost to the single digets!
@jotasevic: almost indeed!! So exciting!
This afternoon I am going to sew our ring pillows (need two).
I still need to work out the seating arrangements, and make sure I have people's +1s' names, and then find an easy way to tell people where they are sitting
Thats almost all the major things worked out. I wanted to make a sign of some kind for the top of the driveway and to direct people out towards the space... And maybe one to indicate where to park. Maybe, but I need wood or something to do that.
Oh, and I pick up my dress tomorrow!!!!!
I still have lots to do! But I think it'll be doable. I'm at work until next Tuesday though! Hopefully I can get almost everything finished this weekend.
I was going to write my list out here... but I'm afraid it's a little too stressful! lol
Good luck everyone!
Pick up groomsmen's gifts
Go to the flower wholesaler for the flowers for our pew arrangements
Go to Hobby Lobby and get ribbon/pearl pins for the bouquets
Test the sound system for our chapel to make sure the sound is loud enough
Pick up my engagement ring which we FINALLY gave to FMIL to get resized last month and I've been without it! (So excited about getting it back.)
Pick up tables and chairs for the rehearsal dinner.
Pick up food for the rehearsal dinner.
Have FI and groomsmen try on tuxes and make sure everything fits so we don't have to get the store to order anything different before Saturday.
Make a reception seating chart--- only just today finalized my numbers and seating chart.
