What's left on your list?

I'm just curious to see where everyone else is at with wedding planning.  What do you still have left to do??

ralbro

Ok, it's getting shorter, but it's still long! Lol

BM gifts - I'm thinking I'm going to do a silver clutch for them to use at the wedding and stuff it with individual little items that they'll like. (kinda like a christmas stocking.)

Wedding dress alterations - I just called the girl I wanted to do them (who was highly reccommended on my local board) and she's free in January for my first appt!!! So, at least I've got that semi taken care of. 

Cake tasting - scheduled for this coming Monday

Day of coordinator booking - I'm just lazy and haven't sent in the contract yet. Lol

Centerpieces - no idea what I'm doing for these yet!! 

Extend venue rental - emailed her again today so hopefully I'll get a response (finally. ugh.)

Call caterer about a sweetheart table

Buy alcohol for the reception

Hair/makeup trial - sometime in January

Go to the gym and work off all the beer and fast food I eat. Lol.

Engagement pics - scheduled for 1/7 (also, find outfits for said e-pics, as well as b-party)

Mail invitations - they're addressed, just need stamps

I think that's all the big stuff. TK tells me I'm 101 days away today!!

What about you?? :-)

I *was* done.  Now I have a few things left...

1) A garter.  I probably won't wear one at all but it's something that's been on my mind lately.  No garter toss... so do I wear one???

2) Undies!  I forgot about this bit!  I need undies to wear on my wedding day still!  I really want those "Sexy Little Bride" undies at VS, but they're sold out in my size.

3) The ceremony.  We had the blessing written for the most part, but now that we're having a legal ceremony the rest needs to get done.  But I can't do that until the wedding officiant gets back to me and she said usually she will about a month or two before the ceremony date.

4) Pack and cruise!!!

THIS!! Getting to the point where lists are stressing me out big time.  Current priorities = hair trial (tomorrow), book transportation, book honeymoon.  THEN I'll look at the rest of my list and re-prioritize top 3 again :)

Leantine

What is still on my list, let me think :

- The groom has to buy his shirt, shoes and belt

- We still have to buy our rings (we already know which pair it is going to be, just have to buy them).

- Order our thank you gifts (also already been choosen, just have to order them).

- Flowers.

I believe thats it.
