HH2Be · January 2014

Well, with 8 months to go today (we are 9/26) I think I've got everything!!!!!

Finally met & decided on a florist last week. Decided to go with a videographer, despite what everyone else said.

And yesterday, my girls picked out their bridesmaid dresses!!

We have a DJ selected & deposit paid, we will be meeting with him in 2 weeks to finalize our package & contract.

The only thing we haven't done yet is select our baker. The baker/cake is with the venue, something we will be doing in the Spring.

So just to check myself this is what I've done:

Venue (catering & cake are part, baker meeting in Spring)

Officiant

Dress, Shoes, Veil - need headpiece

Hair - date saved - trial in June/July

Make Up & trial done

Bridesmaids Dresses Selected - will order early March

Photographer

DJ

Videographer

Florist

StD - mailed the beginning of the month

Invitations

Favors - supplies are being gathered to make

Hotel Rooms Blocked - will visit hotel in Feb. to scout picture options - comes with 1 free shuttle to/from venue, still need to decide if I'll want more

Am I forgetting anything?!?!? My mom is looking for her dress in Feb. FI still needs to ask his guys, but we are waiting on his sister to decide if she'll be a BM. She has until the end of Feb.

You need to make sure everyone has a seat. Can other chairs be added? Are lots out of town and unlikely to come? I don't remember standard percentages for rsvps, but you'd want to check on that. You will lose some people for the reception after the ceremony if it's evening, but you will want to make sure everyone invited gets to sit!

No, this is considered rude to a) not have enough seats for all your guests and b) to only invite some people to the reception only and not your ceremony. It's called a tiered reception.

the church lady assured me chairs can be added but some people may have to sit in the basement. I thought that sounded ridiculous to have guests down there. There is a speaker system throughout so people sitting in the basement could still hear. But I go to a wedding TO SEE! that's the best part. A lot of people are from out of town and the church is a 40 min drive from the reception location. We are thinking some of the guests won't be driving out to it. Its a pretty common practice where I'm from that some guests (especially the younger crowd) only be invited to ceremony and dance.

Venue booked and paid for. Catering through venue (will meet later to discuss menu). Church and officiant reserved (church paid for). Photographer hired (pro photog in family, saving a bundle). FI is pro. wedding videographer, he's hired someone to film but will edit it all himself. Florist reserved, will meet to discuss closer to date. Bridal party chosen and colors picked. Shoes purchased. A friend is DJing, we just have to rent the equipment/lights through my work. Save the Dates sent. Honeymoon hotel booked, waiting on flights to be released for Sept on Southwest. . Ordering invites tomorrow through vista print (50% off sitewide right now). Dress shopping Tuesday and I should walk away with a dress that day. Blocking out hotel rooms Monday. Need to finalize BM dresses and grooms/groomsmen attire. Need to find hair stylist. Need to meet with cake baker! We feel really good where we are planning wise, though.

Here's my update:

I'm getting married 9/13/14. Here's my list so far:

venue - booked
photographer- booked
dress (David's Bridal) - bought
picked out colors
officiants - booked
bridesmaids' dresses are picked out, just need to make sure they go out try them on
church - booked
limo - booked
florist - booked
band/DJ - booked
honeymoon - booked
MUA - booked
save the date cards - mailed

Everything is coming along!

I still have to order invites, finalize guest list (ugh, the hardest part of planning so far!), block rooms at a hotel, decide on candy to buy for candy/cookie bar, choose veil, shoes and jewelry, get whatever info is needed to give MOH for shower and bachelorette party, and decide on what gifts to give bridesmaids and parents. I can be a procrastinator, so I'm glad I'm checking things off my list.
