WR: Had a meeting with the florist again and put the deposit down, FI paid 1/2 the amount of the HM and hoping to book the flights this week!

NWR: all christmas decorations are down and moved to FI's attic!

mrspatnou

WR: find a spot for dinner in Disneyworld ( we cannot agree) and make reservations, get FI ring, try on dress tomorrow!

NWR: read all the books I got for Christmas!

mek20

WR: Invitations are all printed, now just putting them together and buying postage. Picked out tuxes, 3/8 have been measured/ordered. Calling the church to plan out ceremony tomorrow, and looking at cake ideas to meet with our cake baker tomorrow.

NWR: relaxing! its been a long couple weeks...

chelseakopperud

WR: decided on invitations, rehearsal dinner invites, and ceremony programs (pretty close to a decsion).

NWR: finally feeling back to myself after graduating...what a relief! my house is back to being picked up and clean, i made a daily chore chart for myself, and i have plans to keep our dinner menu at least 2 weeks in advance. It feels so good to be organized!!

what did you decide for programs? I still don't know what I want to do.

The current plan is to do program fans like below:

The light blue will be navy though.

We are just waiting on a price quote from the etsy dealer who is doing out invitations.

WR: Picked out invitations. and am 98% done with the wording. My mothers dress came in so we went to try it on and of course tried mine on again with all my accessories. Went to try a rehersal dinner spot. Too fancy for 50% of our guests so back to square one .

NWR: I need a vacation from vacation! We spend most of it traveling and visiting family. It was such a good decision to take today off as well. Having a nice day at home with FI. Started Insanity which was hard. not looking forward to day 2 But the results are going to be worth it.

I haven't done much this week I've been so annoyingly sick but we started back to the gym this morning and are getting back int our meal planning. Chelsea I like the 2 week meal planning and creating a chore chart for myself t get things done, I might have to try those both out!

Zimsgirl

I finished my signs for the reception but that's about it

jaime10285

WR: picked florist and sent deposit, sat down with FI and made a list of what he had to do and what we had to do and dates we wanted them done by (this way I can stop feeling like I'm hounding him all the time to do things!)

NWR: enjoyed time with family, did a majority of the report cards for my class, cleaned the apartment

goodine11

WR:  Passports applications are done for everyone except FI. He will do his tomorrow at work ( Renwel)

NWR: Christmas Decoration is put up and closet is clean.

Have to pick up my new glasses soon.

With 5 months (to the day) to go, it is time to change the house from christmas to wedding. We have so much taken care of but it is crunch time. I don't know whether to cry or laugh, I feel like I am so behind even though I am so far ahead.

WR: 2 of my BMs went to have their dresses fitted and put the down payment (half the total cost) down. One more needs fitted and paid, another just needs to pay. FMIL and my mom and I are planning to go look for their dresses this coming Saturday. We just got back from our second meeting with our mentor couple. My goals for this week is to get ahold of our new catering manager to schedule our taste testing and to get in touch with our travel agent to pick a day to come in to pick our excursions for our cruise.
NWR: Still working on turning my paperwork in for insurance related stuff for my job. (i just got full-time!)

I highly suggest it!! I hate scrambling to think of ideas for meals. This way I can figure our everything we eat and eventually make a 30-45 day meal plan and then just repeat it. The weekly grocery list is also awesome....I used to send FI to the grocery store daily. Now I am going every Saturday. We are both much happier!!

slice85

WR: Went to look at wedding bands & and had our jeweler order one for C to see if he likes it, all the guys except one have gotten measured, bought my shoes, set up meetings with the priest (finally!), all save the dates are out

NWR: finished up our last few Christmases, C had an interview for a new job

MMRoberts11

WR: redesigned our invites and RSVP cards to something better, mossed a cardboard L for the reception, put a base coat of paint on some wood letters for the cake table, set up a meeting with our caterers to try food and decide on the final menu, glazed a rock and carved love into it for the reception (part of our sweetheart table decorations), and created a new monogram.

NWR: Caught up on some of the movies I've been really wanting to see, looking into more programs to apply to, took most of the christmas decorations down, saw some of my friends I've been wanting to see for a while, and procrastinated on a paper I need to write for work.  I guess I'm writing it tomorrow.

Yesterday FI and I finished addressing our StD cards! Woot!
