July 28th Brides!

Our special day is getting closer, but not close enough :-)

Whats left on your list of to-do's??
I don't have any big to-do's left, but it seems like everyday there's another little to-do.
I need to hear what y'all have left so I can match up to yours and see if i'm missing anything else :-)

Re: July 28th Brides!

  • SmileHi!!  I am the same as you, just a few minor things to do like the ceremony programs and seating chart but other than that nothing major!! Enjoy these next few weeks, I have a feeling they are going to fly!!!!
  • Last meeting with reception, photographer and florist (and final payments) all next week. I also have to finalize and print the seating chart, and write out the table numbers on the escort cards (almost done). I'm finishing my programs this weekend.  I have dress fittings (two different dresses) this weekend and probably one more before the wedding. 

    I think that's it, besides a few small things the week of the wedding like getting a mani/pedi, dropping my dogs off for boarding, having my e-ring cleaned, etc...

    I still have to finish my list of things to pack for the hotel (where I'm getting ready), things to pack to bring to the ceremony, and then to the reception (different venue).
  • Checks:
    Seating Chart
    Ceremony Programs
    Purple ribbon on my bubbles
    Centerpieces are arranged, just need to fill them with water the day of the wedding

    Our wedding is such a big day i'm freaking out :(

    My dress has been at alterations for the past 2 weeks now and I haven't heard anything..
    I guess no news is good news? Lets hope!

  • I know right! Apparently he and my FI think this is NBD. Wth? My wedding planner was concerned. I tried to go through some ceremonies and do it myself but honestly I can't do it without the pastor.

  • Yeah, every pastor is different and has their own special ways for each ceremony.
    I'd be so p/o'd! Goodluck with that though :-)
