Hows your planning coming along....

How is everyones planning coming along?

Re: Hows your planning coming along....

  • We're done with big stuff...now it's just little projects like a cardbox, table numbers, favors, place cards, and I still need to find jewelry.

  • About 70%.  The only big thing left to book is the limo and I'm torn on who to go with for that.  (Do I pay almost $700 with a company I know well or $500 with a company I don't know much about kind of thing)

    The it'll just be the little stuff and saving saving saving to get it all paid off before the big day.

  • We are done with everything major, now its all the little extra stuff like seating cards bathroom basket etc
  • I voted 90%. All the big stuff is done, we just have little stuff like:
    -Tasting
    -I need shoes
    -Tuxes (we registered at our local place but they told us to come back bc we were super early and i didnt have a specific BM color yet)
    -Finish making invites
    -Programs
    -seating cards
    -favors(wine is made, just needs to be bottled in my dad's basement and slap a label on it)
    -bathroom baskets

    mostly DIY stuff, but all vendors are booked and being paid off slowly!
  • I voted for 70%, but as I look at my pintrest, I have a sinking feeling that it is more like 40%. There are lots of little decor necessities that have yet to be accomplished.  I also need to finalize the order for the BM dresses and the GM tuxes. And find the groom shoes. And order ice cream and candy. And order my jewerlry. And find a typewriter. And rent a limo. And find a hair stylists. etc. etc. etc.

    I am going to cry under my desk now.

  • I voted 60%. The big things are booked for the most part, but there's still little things to finalize with each vendor such as timing for their arrival, music for the church etc.

    Anniversary
  • I just sent out my Save The Dates, this morning.  whheeeew... still have a lot to do though.  
  • I said 30 % since I have no place to have the cermony, no caterer, no plane tickets anywhere, no suit for FI, no rental car booked, no flowers, no shoes.  I haven't gotten far at all.

  • Pretty good...I have the ceremony site booked, the recpetion will be at my home, photographer, cake, florist are all booked, picking up my dress today, STD are done, invitations have been purchased, but not printed. Then I have little things done like the cake topper, a large "S" for people to sign to take place of a guestbook, frame for the candy buffett. I am still working on all the finishing touches.
  • I"m realy between 70 and 80% but I voted 70%. Thats the bonus of having a small Vegas wedding. Only have small stuff left. The "medium" stuff are just our engagement photos and invites (I am making them and have the design made out and all materials purchased already). Otherwise then that we are almost ready to go!

  • Surprisingly far ahead, though not really by choice. We found out three weeks ago we had to delay wedding by five months, we've got everything except honeymoon rebooked. New save the dates have arrived and FI's getting them addressed and ready to mail.  And we have to decide on new invites as our old design was cancelled. Aside from that, there's not really a whole lot for us to do for a while.
