    Let's see what I can think of, have you.....~made all confirmations (confirm w/ chapel, DJ, RD venue, florist, bakery, photog, etc.)~had final fitting/picked up dress~gotten your dress, veil, shoes, etc. together~made sure WP has their dress, shoes, tux/suit, etc.~gotten everything together for the chapel to take to the rehearsal--any extra decorations, guest book, cake topper, untiy candle, card box, etc.~turned in final numbers (if you can yet)that's the little stuff I can think of, and some of it can wait til you're a little closer.  HTH!

       Advice: As you are walking down the aisle make eye contact with your FI and keep it! You will not regret it. Make someone else in charge of the little miss haps, tell them you do not want anything to do with decision making unless it is something huge. It really saved some stress for me. Go and look at the reception and ceremony area before guests and extras have a chance to get in there. You will love seeing everything together before everyone gets in there. You are going to get to a point where you say, "I don't care just use the purple flower (or whatever)." when your colors are actually pink and navy. (Just an example.) When you get to this point, do not be afraid to just make the I don't care decisions. It will all pay off in the end! If there is something you want and no one else does, DO IT ANYWAY! It is your wedding! There are a few things I held my tounge on, and I do not necessarily regret it, but if I could go back and do it differently, I would stick to my guns. I have SO much more advice, but for now I will stop at that. HTH!
