Ah – with every passing month, a part of my body spasms. What do you have left to do?
I need to (and I say “I need” because my soon-to-be is in finals and has blocked out all wedding talk until that is over with. He’s going to help me with most of all below):
-Make music playlists for the ceremony, cocktail hour + reception
-Create seating cards
-Create ceremony hand-outs
-Create bar cards/drink recipes cards (we have a DIY Bar)
-Finish making paper flowers for bouquets + table settings
-Finalize ceremony wording
-Create/Buy love letter ceremony supplies
-Finalize offering with Caterer (they’ve been MIA for the past few weeks – eesh!)
-Not lose my mind!
How are ya’ll doing? Got any tricks to keep your sanity in check?

Holy crap girl! You took on a lot! Do you have anyone that can help you??
My list of to-do’s include:
– Make Programs
– Take pictures of how I want the centerpieces for the girl that will be setting them up
– Figure out Grand March music
– Make favors
– Figure out and purchase gifts for parents
– Get one last fitting (hopefully the last)
– Another hair trial
– Figure out route and times for our transportation
There is more, but it’s little things really…
Take a huge breath in and out! And just start from the top. Do one thing at a time. Find someone to help you out. You are going to be fine!

If it makes you feel better, yes, I am freaking out!! I still have a ton to do, and this week is absolutely crazy so I don’t know how I’m going to knock anything off my list. But I’m going to try!! I like the advice of deep breaths. That’s what I need! Good luck, and I’m sure you will be fine and get everything done before the big day.
