What's on your wedding planning agenda?

Since some of us noticed this board has been dead lately, I wanted to check in about what you gals have been up to!

This evening, we are meeting with Tonya of Tonya Beaver Photography in Jax! Later this week, we are meeting with Kim Flowers at Anthony's Catering for a tasting and then Mark from Designed Events next week.

    Right work to get money to put down deposits on all of the vendors (photographer, videographer, caterer, and photobooth vendor) that we have decided on. That's about it before taking any other steps.

    well I'm only 2 1/2 months away from the big day so I've been working on a lot of DIY projects and finishing up round 2 invites (round 1 went to all the OOT guests.. round 2 is for the locals).  My only big thing left to decide is the honeymoon.. all the vendors have been booked, we just need to pay them.

    I just made fans, affixed the customized labels to the water bottles, spray painted some baskets, did a mock-up of the candy buffet, and I will soon be starting the cardbox...

    Lissypooh and Jennsper, I am right there with you guys...  Only 2.5-3 months to go.

    We have the main vendors booked so we are planning to pay everyone when the time comes. Finishing up DIY projects mainly OOT bags, programs, kids activity bag, chalkboard (thanks for passing that along, Navy!)

    Also, we are looking for a picnic spot for rehearsal dinner. If anyone knows of anywhere in the Ponte Vedra Beach area, that would be very helpful!

    Here are my custom water bottles in one of the spray painted baskets... my mom did the ribbon on the handle.  Afriend of mine designed the labels..she has an Etsy shop and also designed my STD (they match the labels)




    Below is the unfinished version of the paddle fans (they are done now).  Picture this folded in half with a cute shaped stick glued in between and a ribbon on the bottom.

    One side is the bridal party names and the other side has various love quotes from romantic movies...  No 2 paddles are the same.. I had about 15 quotes I was using so they were all getting mixed around each time I printed one, so people sitting next to each other wouldnt have the same sayings.. yes, I really did these one by one.




    My cardbox is the next project..

    BTW Christina.. I've been to Hobby Lobby almost every day for the last 2 weeks!

    Alissa, it is so funny that you mentioned that... I am still on the road and I was making a list of what I need at Hobby Lobby when I get home in August! The past month has been so unproductive (in terms of my wedding projects) - I can't wait to get home and work on them. Also, I need to show you a picture of my cardbox - FI actually finished it up while I am travelling...

    I hit my 3 month mark today and realize how many little things I need to get done. I am having my first shower tomorrow and my trial run for my makeup. I am SOO excited for both.

    FI and I are picking out tuxes on Sunday and I am trying to find jewelry and shoes. Oh and got the sample of our invitations to approve.

    Still trying to find a good venue... we're looking at Aetna on Tuesday, meeting with Palm Valley Gardens and some country clubs over the next two weeks. And then hopefully booking photographers next! (And all the while dress hunting, of course.)
