    I posted this in the Beehive, but I thought maybe I should repost it somewheree else so that I can get more responses...

    Okay...Im not a wedding planner so I have no clue what to do now. We have a date set...a deposit on the venue. I already have my dress. My bridesmaids have their dresses and shoes.

    I feel like I could be doing more right now even though its a year away. Im the type of person who likes to stay busy. I would rather do little chunks at a time instead of waiting and having SO MUCH to do at once. It keeps me less stressed that way. What should (or could) I be doing now?

    Things to think about (just throwing random ideas out there):

    Centerpieces

    Linens

    Chair covers

    Chair sashes

    Guestbook options - classic signature only, thumbprint trees, mad libs, scrapbook style, yearbook style, video, photobooth etc

    Programs - simple, fun, books, etc

    Bridal party gifts

    favors

    cake

    signature cocktail

    gift for your groom

    picture poses you want to have

    hair piece for wedding day - veil, feathers, flower, bird cage veil etc

    jewlery

    shoes

    aisle runner - having one, decorateing the edges?

    ceremomny decor

    monograms - for cards, for programs, guest book, dance floor sticker

    wedding music - ceremony (procesional, recesional, unity ceremony), first dane, parents dances, anniversary dance, bridal party dance, garter toss, bouquet toss, dollar dance

    grooms ring

    garter

    Get your vendors lined up!

    This is the order I would suggest: photog, caterer, rentals (china, linens, chairs, tables, etc), florist, musicians/DJ, officiant, cake bakery, makeup and hair, hotel room blocks.

    Start searching for vendors...that is going to take up most of your time.

    Another option that the FI and I will be starting shortly is addressing invitations. We have a guest list of roughly 275, so we figured if we started now we could address a few a day and it won't be as tedious as waiting until shortly before they go out.
