Christian Weddings

Checks! =]

First of all, I haven't really posted on this board a lot. Maybe a few times, mostly just lurked. But this board is so amazing! All you ladies are so understanding and sweet. I just love reading all the posts. So I figured I'd post here & share my excitement! =]

So my FI and I recently moved up our wedding (I know, that doesn't usually happen very often), to November 26th of this year! & What's crazy is, I've gotten so much more done in the past two weeks than I had done to plan our wedding for the original date! I guess I work better 'under pressure'.

So here's the checks we have now:
Venue booked! (ceremony & reception)
Cake picked! (included with venue, btw...which is AMAZING!)
Dress/veil ordered! CLICK! =]
Food - figured out! (Spaghetti, salad, bread for 75 people around $100, woo!)
Invites/rsvps/thank you cards ordered!
Officiant chosen!

Taking my two MOHs to look for dresses in a few weeks too!
Great couple of weeks for wedding planning! =]
Thanks, guys! God Bless!

Added the dress link! =]

    Welcome to the crazy world of November 2011 brides!  Most of us on the November 2011 month board have already sent out our invitations, so I would jump on that ASAP if I were you.  Other than that, you seem to be in pretty good shape!

    That spreadsheet had everything in it. Name of family/guest, how many people were invited, how many RSVP'd, their address, their table assignment, what gift they brought, whether or not they've gotten a thank you note yet...

    And then H set it up so that I had a total at the bottom of how many people I was still waiting to hear from and how many thank you notes I still needed to write. It was fantastic!

    It's really not that hard to do yourself. Once you start doing it, it's pretty easy.

    Your VP invitations and stuff will be here before you know it. Get going! :) GL!

    Haha I really should! I already have a bunchh of the address & stuff written down at my mom's house, so I'm going to get them whenever I go home this weekend.

    Also, Okies are the best! No doubt. I'm not an original Okie, but I've lived here for most of my life. So I consider myself an Okie lol. We rule. ;]
