So far I think we have everything. I can name off a few things I still am working on:

The transportation ... limos or whatever

Lighting guy

Dance floor (if I have a different one from the venue ... which is $$$ so I'm fighting back and fourth negotiating)

Ring pillow (shoot just remembered this)

Still must do the tastings

Still have to go give the other half of the money I owe on dress + have fittings

Take dance lessons we bought ... a pkg of =)

Hmm ... everything is done. What about everyone else?

You guys should have a glass of wine and relax!

I am planning from afar so there's some DIY things that I cannot do until I get across the country.

This is what I have left before I leave:

last dress fitting (9.16)

cut, color and hair trial (need to do it right bf I leave)

a bunch of DIY projects all in the works. My local BMs are coming over on Sunday for a crafty brunch

call people who haven't RSVP'd (Sept. 5)

send out/invite second list of people after RSVP cut off (after Sept. 5th)

figure out OOT bags

gift for FI

I still don't have a florist :( but we are working on it

Vows and I may need to change my JOP (long story)

Ship whatever I can to my mothers (next week)

There are definitely tiny things to do but these are the major ones. Still I feel pretty good about my to do list. Now if I could stop purchasing little things I see that would be so cute to have. Must. Stop.

It is so nice to see how much shorter our lists are now, compared to a few months ago!! My to do list:

~ still deciding on programs

~ buying candy for my favors

~ gifts for parents, groomsmen and ring bearers!!

~ get marriage license (FI should be getting that on Friday)

Gosh, I think that is it!!

Good Luck to the rest of the October Brides!!!

Pay off: Photographer, favors, preacher

~Get marriage license

~get hair and nail appointment set

~get bowls for candy at tables

~gifts for all of bridal party

~last dress fitting end of September

Seems like a small list but still lots of $$$ to go and not lots to spend any suggestions on bridal party gifts for cheap? I know that sounds bad but we are in a real bind here.

48 days ladies, and counting! Eep!

I still have to:

iron out the ceremony/vows
plan music for ceremony, dinner & reception
finish escort cards, table numbers & menus
make jewelry for me and my gals
make my veil
make card box
re-order FIs shirt because it arrived too short - argh!
figure out a gift for my fabulous MC & ring bearer
order lanterns for aisle

But we accomplished our most important task on Friday - we got our marriage licence - woohoo!

Oh wow, my list is still really long -- and we've only got less than 4 weeks! Here's my scary long list:

Set up hair appointment

Send in final head count and bar choices (beer/wine)

Meet with DJ

Pick a rehearsal dinner spot (Can't believe this one is taking so long!)

Gather all items for reception decor **This one is a doozy, which branches out into it's own ridiculous list**

Select ceremony music & finalize ceremony with officiant

Write our vows

Finalize the schedule for others

Finish seating chart

Decide on and order dessert

Print photo sharing cards and maps

Assemble favors

Figure out transportation

Make direction signs for ceremony

Assure we have our permits

Write our reception intros for the wedding party

Regardless of how much I have to do (FI is away at that fire in LA for at least 10 more days!), I am so frickin' excited!! Anyone else getting giddy at this point?!
