Isn't it crazy how little there is left?!

We're mostly just paying for stuff now, too. I have one or two DIY projects, but they're for the month before the wedding. I'm really just enjoying getting RSVPs now!

OMG. I came over to this board to ask a question about tuxes...came across your list of cross-offs and I'm having a panic attack! You are on top of things!  Congrats. Now I am going to freak out...and your countdown thingy-s are totally freaking me out—ha!!!

[Deleted User]

It is definitely crazy and exciting that so many things have been checked off of the list!  It makes me feel good that we are on track with things!  Yet, there is still so much to do it seems like lol!  Sorry to have freaked you out MK&T.  Definitely not my intention.  Just wanted to see what other brides have left to do and see if I have forgotten anything!  @midgedenver - when is your wedding?  Ours is June 8th and we haven't even mailed our invitations out yet...we are planning on mailing them out the last week of March probably.

MK&T

No-I am glad you freaked me out...someone obviously needs to light a fire under my @$$!  I want to be you right now!  ha! But your list is an awesome reference and I will use it a starting off point. Thanks-I'm going to start checking off now!

You guys are definitely on top of it- I must get my list in order!

I don't have a list written out like that, but about half is done.

leah2489

My list is so big its scary. Most of it is just decisions we need to make, such as the readings for the ceremony.

I'm almost done with my list, my biggest stuff is doing the DIY centerpieces, which I'm going to start two weeks before the wedding (not much room for assembled centerpieces) and then our food/silverware/plates/napkins/linens etc.

Holy moly, this just made me suuuper nervous (b/c the people, not the guy lol)
