Hello 2015 brides...

laurenlozzy

@teenabeenerz‌ We are date twins! 9/24/15 where are you getting married? We'd have the aria booked

vegasbaby2015

Oh thank goodness I'm not the only one feeling this way!! I think after I get a few more things done I'll feel more on top of it (though I keep saying that and it hasn't happened yet!)

The most pressing things I need to do are finish wedding website, send invites, order my ring, and figure out our wedding trip timeline so we can book flights and hotels. I think once I get these things done, I should be able to breathe again! There are lots more little things to do after that (and some not so little things!)

I need to apply the lists idea. I think the biggest struggle for me is just feeling like I don't know what I should be doing! So I assume I'm dreadfully behind...

It will all be worth it when I'm getting married in Vegas! But, 65 days seems like too much and too little time!

tcnoble

Eeeek you haven't booked flights or hotels yet?! Put that at the top of your list! I would say sending invites would be next on the priority list, as far as timing goes. Wedding website if you're including it in your invites/insert cards. 

You should head over to the March 2015 board - we frequently have new topics that discuss what we are getting done and what's left on our lists

I should add my mother is DOC so she will have a suite key and at 6:20 after family photos will be heading to the suite to allow the bartender and dj in to set up. The suite will also be decorated the night before.

Thanks for sharing! I certainly need to start thinking about this  

DixeChik19

Yes, thanks so much for sharing!

vegasbaby2015

Yes, @tcnoble, I know I'm behind!!!  I'm planning to get flights booked this weekend. We are just trying to figure out how many days we need in Vegas to prep before our guests arrive, and we are planning to tack on a couple days at the grand canyon after the wedding. So, still debating days and times...

We have a hotel block set up with rates locked in, so I'm not as worried about the hotel reservations, but I will work on that soon too.

This weekend I'm planning to spend a lot of time on planning and get a lot done, and also get myself organized so I have a plan for what I need to do each weekend. Wish me luck!!

 

 

tcnoble

Good luck and I'm sure you'll feel better once you get some lists made and know what you need to get done

vegasbaby2015

Thanks, I hope so!!

chelsea&brianvegas

3-6-15 here and very nervous

mrsptobeinvegas

We are the 1st December at Venus Garden, Casears Palace. Very excited but scared about dress shopping

haydeemf89

Ahhh! Is anyone July or was I the only silly to plan a wedding for the hottest month of the year in Vegas? Lol

amelisha

There are a few July people here, I think, @haydeemf89. Mine's in May but that's going to be hot enough too. My parents renewed their vows there on on their anniversary (July 3) a couple years ago and I attended, and honestly the heat wasn't an issue even though it was in the afternoon because pretty well everything was inside anyway and everything has great A/C. If you take photos or have your ceremony outdoors it's probably going to be pretty uncomfortable, though.

zamya01

I'm July 25, 2015 at Planet Hollywood with Reception at Maggiano's! 

I'm excited it seems like I have so much to get done, I feel like I'm ahead in planning but I don't want to get too relaxed and fall behind!!!

@haydeemf89 I was thinking the same thing I didn't see any July Brides
