Just Curious...

What is on everyone's to do list for this month?

I have to work on getting my junior bridesmaids their dresses.  There's only 2 of them (I am not having any other bridesmaids).  Now, I'm starting to think about making a seating chart, as opposed to printing escort cards.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  :-)

This month I have my makeup trial and officiant meeting and am continuing to find little things: vase to hold photobooth props on sticks, bracelet, maybe earrings.

For seating we're doing an escort board with cards at the table to signify seats and selected meal.  I can't wait *sarcasm* for the seating chart mess that everyone talks about!

I feel like from 11-8 months I was super ansy, like the wedding was never going to come and now I'm like 6 months!  That means 5, 4, 3, 2 OMG!!!!!!! Almsot there!! Anyone else??

5 months has terrifyingly passed and I'm starting to panic a little bit.

I'm hoping to get my bathroom baskets finished soon.

I'm doing a base run of the favors since there will be over 150 of them if 3/4 of the guest list shows up. So I'm hoping to finish half of what I have to make so that come 1-2 months I won't have to do that many.

I'm still trying to figure out what to do about my bridesmaids dresses and we need to figure out the mens wear for the wedding.

Aside from that...I'm hoping to get all of the programs, schedules, bags, et al designed so that when it rolls around, we can just print everything.

I am antsy now because I can't really start finishing things until we get a head count which won't come until just before which honestly has me utterly petrified.

Oiy. o_O

Our big to do for the month is the invitations, we are meeting with someone Tuesday to look at some and hopefully that will go well because I am having the hardest time with those.  We also really need to plan out the ceremony with the officiant soon. 

As far as the seating stuff goes I am going to stay away from that until we get our RSVP's back which wont be for awhile, but we are planning on doing escort cards but we wanted to something fun with them still trying to figure out what.  I don't think we will specify seats at the tables but I could see myself changing my mind depending on what happens.

This wedding planning stuff has not even felt real until the last month.  I am trying to keep calm but honestly its all driving me crazy I want to finish planning everything right now and a lot of it its too soon to finalize anything. 

Good luck with all your planning!

Today is my 5 month mark and I just hit panic mode. I have my bridesmaid dresses picked out, but only one bridesmaid has purchased it so far. This month we are going to *FINALLY* book our DJ and we are also starting to order a larger amount of decor accents (floating candles, rose petals, etc)

We just picked up Fi's suit from Mens Warehouse today. I ordered his shoes today as well. So all the grooms stuff is done. We also ordered wedding bands. Thats pretty much it so far this month.

This month we're deciding on florists/decor and invitations.  We just finished pre-cana this weekend!  And I'm pretty close to finalizing our ceremony musicians.  Unfortunately, we're still on the big vendors and a bit behind....but what are you going to do?  I know we'll get it done but it's definitely a stressful, feel very much behind kind of a month.

This month I want to make a final decision on invites (i've ordered a zillion samples and need to just make a decision already).  We also STILL need a DJ.  I told FI it was his job, so obviously it's not done yet!

I need to finalize my guest list spreadsheet with a few straggling addresses (parents' friends and some of FI's family)

That's probably all I'm realistically going to get done by the end of this month.  Also, continuing to diet and try to fit into my dress!!

DJ is my FI's job too! :

We've done pretty much all the big stuff, except for music.  We want a dj, but it's hard to narrow it down in NYC.  There are just too many options.  My FI is sort of hoping to really like the dj at our friends' wedding in early Sept, but that's too up in the air for me.  We have names to call, we just have to go do it.  

Finding a suit for my FI was on the list, but he found one on 7/30, so that's off the list now.  I can't wait to see him in that suit again.
