Happy Monday Everyone! What wedding checks do you plan on getting completed this week? I work Tuesday to Sunday this week, so I'm planning on getting a few things sorted out today. The top of the list is getting the suit order in at the tuxedo shop which I am totally not into. lol

Happy Monday!! It's the 2nd to last Monday of the school year and I can't wait! This year has completely burned me out. I'm mentally exhausted every day.

As far as wedding goes, I must order my shoes this week! I've been telling myself for weeks to do it, I'm just holding out in case I find the absolute perfect ones! We're also going to start the invite-addressing process. boo.

Good Morning!!  For my wedding to do list, I want to finish my invites and order my flowers.

Happy Monday!

I'm not sure what all I'll get done for the wedding this week, but I have a big to-do list I have to get started on!  This weekend, I ordered two of the three pieces I'll need for my BM's earrings and I am waiting on the last piece to come back into stock, so hopefully I'll get those ordered by the end of the week.

Other things on my to-do list that I'll hopefully get done this week/weekend:

Strass my shoes

Get the paper for my invitations

Start collecting jars for the candy buffet

Finish photobooth and props

Ugh, my main goal is survive until the end of the week so I can finally have a day off! 3 day weekends for the win! If I do find time to accomplish anything wedding related, I'd like to confirm plans for the rehearsal dinner with our chosen restaurant, contact the tux shop about attire for FOB, FOG and my stepfather, finalize the invitation wording and send it to my stepmother so she can start printing, finish tweaking the ceremony wording and send it back to our officiant, set up a trial with the hairstylist I think I want, and get quotes from seamstresses so I can pick a place for my alterations. Which, now that I list it all, is a lot of stuff. Watch me get absolutely none of it done. Sigh.

Good morning everyone!

Yesterday, FI and I ordered our invitations!  We should get the proof today or tomorrow and, once that looks ok, we should be all set with those.

We also started working on writing our ceremony.  We emailed that over to our officiant (family friend), so hopefully she'll get back to us soon with her thoughts.

As for the rest of the week, I might try to get to Michaels at some point to place our bulk order of supplies to make programs and escort cards.  I'm also looking forward to the long weekend! We have a wedding to go to on Sat, which should be fun : )

Ooh, I forgot...I do get to finally go dress shopping with my LAST bridesmaid this weekend! That's a guaranteed check, and one I'm quite excited about finishing.

MY DRESS IS IN!  I should be picking it up Sunday.  I'm so scared it won't fit!  Mom's dress is in too.

We started our Registry at BBB, and going back Wednesday to hopefully finish up.  Then we need to start one at Macy's.

Finalized Menu for reception, so now we can finish up invites!

Still trying to get FI to ask his groom men... planning on checking out Tuxes soon.

Adding - We are now AAA members, now we can book HM!

<div>I just got the call my dress was in Friday too! However, no one can go with me this week, so I'm going to pick it up Tuesday after memorial day.</div><div>
</div><div>It's funny to see how we are all so close in dates but all working on different things! I forgot to say, but I'm also working on putting together little cutlery sets wrapped in napkins and twine for the reception that seem to be taking a lot longer than I thought.</div>

I need to start working on the ceremony, this has been my biggest PITA so far. The priest is being difficult and I am having issues with it. But other than that, I'm sort of enjoying my planning lull.

I have a long weekend, and my sister is coming to visit, so we will hopefully get a lot of the invitations done.

Morning all! 

Saturday was my bridesmaid luncheon and everyone got along really well and had a great time!

This week I'm really hoping to get the proof for the RSVP card back from the designer so we can finally get the invitations printed. Other then that, I don't have much to do wedding-wise at the moment.

I didn't get anything accomplished this weekend!  haha  I feel really behind on invites because of you ladies, so that is my goal to start getting the wording together and signed off by all the parents.  In order to finish that though, I need to know the ceremony time, so I need my FI to decide whether he is going to be adament about not doing a first look or not, so that involves a photo list.

As far as fun stuff, I want to start on all of the wine cork place holders since that may take awhile, and NWR I need do finish making curtains for our office.  I can't wait for a long weekend!!

Hoping to pick up my veil this week and get together with my stylist over the weekend or early next week to work on hair styles.  We have basically decided on a style, but it hasn't been done with the veil.  I'm having second thoughts anyway on using a headpiece, so if we don't like it, I'll be picking up decorative hair pins and such.

The only other thing I plan to do this week is pick up some fabric for favor bags and fix the typos in our programs.

I've been slowly getting stuff done....nothing big on the list this week as we are having a combined grad party for FI and his cousin this weekend at the house so ill be busy cleaning and cooking (it will be the first time all of his family has seen our house since moving in).
But 2 more GM got measured over the weekend, now just 2 more to go and then the RB who cant go until 3 weeks before. I just left a msg for the organ player at the church to go over music bc a close friend is going to sing and play the violin and instead of trying to guess what is appropriate i would rather just all of us meet.
And ive been slowly buying stuff as I run to the store for the bathroom baskets...FI decided on 2 groomsmen gifts so we ordered those, and I received the BMs gifts in the mail (coach wristlets).
Maybe if i get a chance I will take an invite to the post office to get it weighed so i can order postage...

</div><div>This. I am totally dreading doing this because even though I think they will be cheap, I'm afraid of what the postage will actually cost! I'm DIY-ing my invites and all I have left are printing off the RSVP post cards, but then I'll be into the post office too!
