  • I'm July 13th and I'm too scared to count how many days that is.

    To Do:

    *finish up bridesmaid gifts (I want to get one more thing for a couple of them and then I need to wrap it)
    *write cards for bridesmaids
    *finish escort cards
    *make 10 more program fans (I purposely waited to see our RSVP situation until I finished them all)
    *ship items to NJ so I don't have to lug them on a suitcase: picture frames, program fans, menus, escort cards, favor bags
    *seating chart (will do this the week before when I'm in NJ with my mom)
    *hotel welcome bags (my bridesmaid keeps bringing these up and really wants to help...luckily I think we'll only have maybe 30 to make)
    *finalize DJ play and do not play list (almost there)
    *final dress fitting on Saturday eek! I really hope it fits perfectly!
    *pick up marriage license the week of in NJ and drop off all reception items
    *table numbers

    I'm sure I'm forgetting things...
