7 months for 10/20/2012 Brides!

nitecheese

I woke up smiling this morning. For whatever reason, I get really excited when we hit an exact month "marker". Now that some of my early morning excitement has worn off (and my coffee is kicking in), I feel like there is so much more to do!  One is the one major check that you ladies are itching to take care of ASAP?

For us, it is finding the right officiant!

Happy 7 months, ladies!

YAY! For 7 months I'm super excited myself today! All of my major checks are done : I'm now focusing on invitations which is gonna be hard because I'm picky. Enjoy the day !!!

YAY! My biggest thing I want to get taken care of is getting a photographer booked! Like wow can't believe this isn't done yet but we just had all our money tied up so we couldn't have done anything until now anyway. We've got our first meeting with a photographer today. I hope everything goes good because she's our only potential one at this point that meets the budget, talent and not booked criteria.

I cant believe we only have 7 months left.. I heard the wedding march this am and teared up a little bit.. it was a very fitting song for today. Seven months from today we will all be walking down the isle to marry our best friends .  The major thing I need to do is call a lady who's local to book the chair covers. I must do it today before I forget again lol ! I might order my invites this weekend too since I have a Vistaprint coupon to use. Other then that all my major things are booked.

I knew today was going to be a good day, I just hadn't figured out why! I re-orederd our STDs this morning (decided that I didn't like the old ones) and I'm really excited to be getting those in!

The big check that I want to get taken care of would either be finding a videographer (once we decide if we are going to do that or not) or getting the food/cake tasting done!

Happy 7 month mark, ladies!

Yay! We're so excited!  We've been getting so much done lately!

     We finalized our ceremony and reception music on Sunday night.  Sent in our choices to the DJ yesterday.  Signed our cake/cupcake contract with our baker on Sunday as well.  All of our big stuff is booked.  My FMIL, mom and I met on Sunday morning to go over the rehearsal dinner plans and the bridal shower (they asked me to be there to help with some stuff, I know the rules of not planning your own shower haha).  We picked out wording for our ceremony since we're not having a religious one.  We just have to go over it with our officiant and reread and make sure we like everything with it. 

     My FMIL works for DMV and does the road tests for some limo drivers at American Limo, so she's really become good friends with everyone over there.  The owner found out we were getting married and offered us the stretch Hummer limo at no cost!  All we need to do is pay for the gas, which is about $200 and then we'll obviously tip them well. 

     Now we're just working on DIY projects.  I think I've got my BM gifts all purchased.  I just have to put them together.  FI is still deciding on a few smaller items for the GM.  We're doing a big gift for both and then smaller items like a beer mug that I DIYed with their initial etched and a money clip that I got from TK on sale.  The girls thought chocolate pearls would match the dresses great so I purchased a pearl necklace and DIYed a matching earring set for them.  The guys all decided that they wanted to wear DC shoes at the wedding so we'll be purchasing those for them. 

     I'm hoping to have the invitations and all inserts printed by the end of this week so that we can start organizing them and putting them together a few each night.  We've got 140 to do so it'll be tedious.

yay! 7 months! We still don't have an officiant either but I think we're pretty close to booking one...then i think I'll be done with big checks.

I still need chair covers and my girls (different states) need to go shopping for their dresses!

Can't believe it! Next big thing is deciding on bridesmaid dresses. Hopefully by next week. This weekend FI is going to check out buying a suit vs renting a tux. Once all the attire stuff is decided, I hope to sit down with my florist to start talking specifics.

So excited for the exact month markers!! I really hope to find a photographer SOON!! I'm finding everybody is either booked or outrageously expensive!! We picked out how we are going to make our invitations this past weekend so thats exciting. Just need to purchase the supplies & start making!
