Thursday Checks

I don't think anyone has started this- at least I didn't see it.

You know what to do!

I FOUND A JOB IN GREENWOOD!!  Y'all have no idea (well....maybe you do but still) how excited I am to be able to see my FI every day, and not just on the weekends!

Helped address shower invites last night.  They will be in the mail today or tomorrow!!

Got up at 6am and started packing for my move.

Received the WP gifts in the mail. I have to reorder one of them though because I'm an idiot and put one of my best friends maiden name on it instead of her married name.

Mom ordered the fabric to make my toss garter.

Met with our officiant last night to go over the meaning and order of our ceremony. I had a huge cheesy grin on my face the entire time. FI and I kept looking at each other and he was rubbing my back with his knee from time to time.

Finished up the invitations (which I thought was done already).
FI added 2 more couples so I had to get their addresses & wrote out th invitations.
No more additions because the are going in the mail on Saturday! And, because we are at our absolute max the venue can hold.

Changed one song with our DJ.
Bride/son (I'll be dancing with my 11 yr old) to Never Grow Up by Taylor Swift.
My MOH/niece reccommended it for our song and I just love it. Hopefully my son will be ok dancing with me. I'm having the DJ shorten it up a little, so he should be fine.

-Booked my friend (who volunteered to do all of the hours before and after my wedding day photographers are booked for on the day of the wedding) to do photography for one of my showers, bach party, RD and rock the dress..... SO EXCITED!!!! She gave me a great deal too!!

-All of my invites and extra cards, rehearsal dinner invites, belly bands, cermony programs and photo share cards are in hand! I am SOOOO excited! They turned out so fantastic... now I just need to get them assembled.

-My mom found a contended for her dress for the wedding. Its gorgeous!!

-decided to rent instead of buy suites for the ring bearers

That is so sweet.....I love it!!

I want to do the father/daughter and mother/son dances, but my parents DO NOT dance -- they are very strongly opposed to dancing, so it wouldn't work out.  boo!!

We took care of FI and his BM outfits last night. We found shirts and vests for them. I cannot wait to see the pictures of us together. We also picked up polish for his cowboy boots. I will be polishing them tonight. They will need a couple of coats.

We also picked out one of our readings.

-Program proofs are in! Made a few tweaks and sent them back in for revision; they're looking amazing and I love this vendor!

-RSVPs seem to be still trickling in; some days I get like 4 and other  days none.

Nothing else so far...

These really nice and fancy engraved wooden pens. Etsy seller engravingwiz. I love them and think they're unique for BM/GM gifts.

I got my underthings for the dress yesterday.

Hopefully FI and I can find a diamond for the ring.

I am still waiting on RSVP's... I wish they would hurry up!

It's been forever since I posted... We bought my wedding band today! I love it!! I wanted to bring it home with us but it's needs to be sized half size too big right now. I should have it tomorrow after noon though. I'm hoping to be able to post pics to the FB page when I get it. : I'm about halfway through addressing wedding invites...hoping to have them out within a week. Found a flower girl dress I like....FINALLY. Oh and since I never post and I'm almost as excited about this as I am about the wedding...we booked our honeymoon last weekend. And that is truly about freaking time! Going to Couples Tower Isle in Jamaica for a week : :

Turtle&Star

I think I may have lined up a new officiant *and* a new photographer today - hooray! Still working on the details, but it's looking promising.

Also, more corresponding with the caterer.

So, I guess these are all more like half-checks, but I'll take what I can get.
