July 2013 Weddings

Don't want to forget anything!

Siting here and thinking about all the stuff I still have to get done for the wedding. I have a little less than 5 months and I feel like I have a lot accomplished. But I feel like I'm going to forget something very important. Got the dress need shoes.....Invitations just arrived in the mail....Need someone to do my hair can't decide if I'm going to do my own makeup.....I've got the cake and food tasting set up for the next 2 weeks.... Still have to work on centerpieces.... Still have to order flowers.... figure out BM gifts..... Etc. ..... Anyone else have the same feeling?

Re: Don't want to forget anything!

  • Yes, I have a similar feeling. When I go through the checklist on TK, it looks like I'm fine but it feels like I'm missing something.
  • YES! I feel this way!
    I have started a big list that I have tacked up. That way everything I think of randomly over time is put up there and then when I am doing a wedding planning night I grab the list and start checking off items and adding more.

    My list right now isn't very long but here it is...
    Craft store
            -Yellow craft smart paint
            -Purple Gingham Ribbon 5/8"
            - Purple gingham Paper
            -Cricut mats(2)
             - Mini picnic baskets(+)
    Call hair salon and move appt. to 1130
    Ask DJ if he can do ceremony music
    Ask DJ to bring mic. and speaker for Ceremony
    Finish last two DIY invites
    STAMPS
    Cut 125 Cupcake holders
    FInish DIY cupcakes stands
    Talk to Terri (florist) to see if she can do the arangements requested.
    Buy BM's the pearl neckale sets

    Thats my list for now anyways. Yay for going to the craft store tonight so I can cross a few of these off and finish up my DIY projects.
