    I've got to work on our napkin wraps, try to find wedding bands, and order the flower girl dresses.

    What are you planning to check off your list this weekend?

    P.S. Glad you are having a band.  We chose to cut corners in some areas so that we could have a live band and it was awesome!  Our guests really enjoyed the live music and the dance floor was packed the entire time.  So many people remarked, "wow - live music at reception really makes a huge difference!"

    • Starting to design centerpieces
    • looking through a magazine I just bought (I know, not really to-do list, but I'm doing it anyway to scan for ideas)
    • start looking for a seamstress for my dress alts, a hankerchief I want made, and a few other things that will need done
    • (hopefully) finally get ahold of the building coordinator to reserve our date and have a walk-through
    • confirm outfits with bridal party
    • show everyone my dress (excluding FI most likely, although if he pouts enough he might just get his way, since I'm not in it anyway)

    Trying to find cheap vases for our centerpieces and that is it!

    We just got our STD's out in the mail yesterday, I booked hotel blocks @ 2 different venues today for our OOT guests, updated our wedding website and finally found centerpieces that I LOVE. I'm taking a wedding break for the weekend! But of course I'll still be obsessed with WB Laughing

    We're meeting with our florist to see samples of the centerpieces and (I think?) samples of the bouquets.  And I need to write our ceremony.  I was half-way through when our computer crashed and I lost it.  I have been putting it off because I didn't want to start from scratch, but I don't think I can put it off much longer.

    Two items: finalize DJ worksheet and finalize rehearsal dinner menu.

    FI and I have reached an agreement - one project a week until we're done. Or until it hits crunch time and I have to make his life suck :-)

    This weekend we are meeting with our first caterer, and I am going to get back to work on sewing the gowns for my girls. Oh, and I need to look for a metal comb for my veil that I finally finished last night. It is a fingertip mantilla veil with 4" beaded lace all the way around. Now I know why they charge so much for them. It took me two days to hand sew the lace.

    I also want to wish everyone a happy weekend :-)

    I have to get a DJ (any recommendations for the DC/Baltimore area would be appreciated!) and work on our guest list. Then, maybe I'll get working on some of my paper projects.

    Six months from today, we'll be officially married!!!!

    My bridal shower is tomorrow, yay! I won't get to see my fiance hardly at all this weekend because of his sporadic work schedule, so I'll probably do some DIY projects on my own.
