My list is so long!  I have to get:

ring bearer bowl
serving set
toasting flutes
jelly bellys(favors)
Escort cards(finish DIY)
Table name holders

Rest of BM gifts(have to figure out if I am going to be able to afford to fly my sister in and buy her dress)
 
Whew!  Okay I have to stop because I am going to give myself a panic attack.  I'm sure I forgot something. 
So where are you at??????
Until the first full year of being one! Anniversary

    I completely forgot about the flower girl basket!  Thanks OP for the reminder.  Right now I'm working on:

    • Getting welcome/itinerary info together for our guests
    • Finding a new flower girl dress
    • Making sure bridesmaids order their dresses
    • Putting the finishing touches on our invites
    • Booking a bartender
    • Renting additional seating/tables
    And a million other little things.

    Cake Tasting & Deposit (will be doing it this weekend)
    Finalize Menu (this weekend)
    Follow Up with BM's to make sure dresses were ordered
    Order Flower Girl dress
    Purchase Bridal & Bridal Party Jewelry (including hair accessories)
    Purchase My shoes
    Purchase undergarments
    Finish Designing & Print programs and Menu cards (diy)
    Order cookies for cookie bar
    Order all florals (diy)
    Order materials & candy for favors (diy)

    That's all I can think of right now.. well.. that's as far as I'm willing to tackle at the moment...lol
