One Month!

puresugaar

Eek, I just hit the one month mark today.  We are in the home stretch ladies!  What are your current projects?  I'm trying to get FI to sit down for more than 5 minutes so that we can put together a list of songs that we definitely want played.  We got our marriage license last week (yay!) and have our rings, but we need to get them engraved still.  I have my final fitting next week, so hopefully I'll be able to take my dress home then (and try to strategically hide it).  What about you guys?

1. Pick out reception music with my FI this weekend
2. buy FI and GM ties
3. get FI's ring engraved
4. finish ceremony programs
5. finish escort cards

 I love being in the home stretch. I can't even tell you how sick I am of all this wedding planning!

So am I ! I have mostly enjoyed the planning, but I'm definitely ready for it to be finished. 31 more days for us...

We are one month tomorrow. Oh my gosh!!!!!! I feel pretty much ready, there are just a few more projects to do.

1. finish table numbers

2. hair trials are scheduled for next week

3. final meeting with the photographer next week

4. book our videographer

5. bake our cakes (yes, I'm crazy!)

6. print programs, but I can't do that until I know who is in our wedding party (one of my BM's had to have a kidney removed last week and might not be totally healed, so I have a friend who is the 'understudy" if needed).

7. escort cards once RSVP's are in next week

Wow! I can't believe it's so close! When we got engaged in December it felt sooooo far away!

I am at the 1 month mark today as well! I am so excited and ready for the day to just be here!

I have my bridal shower and bachelorette party this weekend so I am really excited for those events. My FI has been awesome this week and did a bunch of stuff for me, I am very lucky I know not all grooms are so helpful! He did the seating chart, paid the reception site, and scheduled a meeting with our pastor for next week. Also a bunch of stuff I ordered for our centerpieces is arriving today so I can't wait to get home and see them!

Here is my to-do list:

1. Design & print programs (after meeting with pastor)

2. Make escort cards & finalize seating chart

3. Final hair trial this weekend before my shower & bach. party

4. Buy garters

5. Get final estimate from florist & make adjustments if needed

6. Figure out table numbers

7. Finish sewing bridesmaid tote bags (part of their gift)

Whew, I think that is most of the major to-do's I have left!

23 days here.

Just need to finish our escort cards, which I'll be doing tonight.  I think I may do a happy dance when I finish the last one!

Yay 31 more days!!!!! I still feel like there is a TON to do, but really all we have is to get the flower girls shoes, pick our meal for dinner! Then just the little detailed things!

petitmonstree

1) Pick out music for the reception

2) Find shows for the flower girls

3) Find shoes for myself for the reception (yeah not going to wear heels the entire night lol)

4) Get bridesmaid gifts (omg I'm so terrible when it comes to gifts lol)

5) Decide whether to do my own makeup and if so buy said makeup. I have a MUA booked but trying to justify spending the extra money lol.

6) Buy my garters

<div>Haha! I owned a bakery, so it's expected that I have cake, but we weren't going to have any, but my FI wanted a cutting cake, but then I decided we should have more for those people that have to have their cakes. So I'm just making 5 8" cakes, freezing them until right before the wedding, then doing a really quick frost that looks like roses all over them. It takes less than 30 minutes/cake. :) We are having a frozen yogurt company do our legit desserts. :)</div>
