July 2013 Weddings

Manic Monday

Okay. . . I'm not sick this week so I'll be posting the daily thread every day this week. :) 

What do you have going on this week? Any wedding tasks you're crossing off the list??

Looking at my calendar my week looks pretty empty, which I am dreading. It makes the school week go by SO much slower and all I want is the weekend again. I need to get to work on my bridesmaid's jewelry, I have one set done and need to finish three more.

    Last week was a pretty productive wedding week for me! Booked our DJ, sent deposits to the cake baker & florist, bought gifts for my bridesmaids, ordered personalized napkins (for the bar and cocktail tables) and matchbooks (sparkler send off), worked on invites with my stationer and worked on envelope liners(DIY project).

    This week I'm hoping to be half as productive. We need to follow up with our caterer regarding updates we discussed with him last week. I need to send a deposit to my photographer for my Boudoir photoshoot. I need to finalize things with the harpist for our ceremony. Saturday I'm going with 2 of my bridesmaids to look at dresses. And hopefully
    I'll get started on some DIY projects.

    NWR: Tomorrow night I'm going with FI to the city to attend a class for our niece's baptism since he's her Godfather. Wednesday or Thursday I should find out how much my annual bonus will be (wahoo!). And I need to book a hotel for our trip to Disneyland next weekend :-) Since FI proposed on VDay we're celebrating that plus 1 year of being engaged!

    • start addressing invites
    • finished the favor tags
    • my dad and I decided on his look
    • I went looking for FI's band
    • my sister (MOH) and I found a dress we LOVE for her, but it was quoted for $369...so we have to find something like it :( 
    • My bestie (Matron of H) start talking bridal shower!

    This week, I need to figure out our tasting, finish research on the baker, hope to have some ideas on the bridal shower location (helping MOH with this since its in my hometown), send MOH guest info about shower and maybe finish addressing the invites!

  • My week isn't going to be quite as productive as you ladies. Last week I made the second payment t towards our venue and paid some more money towards my dress. We ordered bridesmaids dresses, YAY!! I sent in my final food and app choices to the caterer for our tasting. We get to meet with the florist at the end of this month, and I am beyond excited for that!! We are also hoping to register this month :)

    We also had quite a productive week. I ordered, returned and then reordered a new dress for my shower. Fi and I put deposits on our wedding bands and then ordered a less expensive pair online...they should be here today. We've also been working on our tulle pomanders. Fi cuts everything and I arrange. I plan on arranging gifts into bags... BM dresses should arrive this wk or next. Yay!! Most importantly our dinner tasting is tonight. Yum!!

  • The only thing that we are going to do this week is go look at wedding bands. The sale ends on the 14th so we want to go look at prices and look for his ring. That way we have time to talk about it and figure out what we are going to do!

  • Wow!  I am seriously impressed...I scheduled a dress fitting for the end of the month, planned out invite-response card-itinerary wording and sent it to our graphic designer, and firmed up plans with the band...I think thats it.  We need to shop for wedding bands soon and find the men something to wear!

  • Wow you girls are so on the ball! Last week was all about preparing for my dance thing so I didn't really do much wedding planning. We DID book our honeymoon, so that was a big weight off my chest. Also, my mom arranged for the hotel rooms to be blocked, and I got some questions answered from our venue. 

    This week I'd like to:
    Make sure FI sends deposit to florist
    Make spreadsheet with guest list and see what addresses I still need 

    Probably should do more but I can't think of it right now


  •  :( I havent done anything weddingy. We did complete the budget and have a pretty set in stone guest list. I will be going and trying on dresses in 12 days!!! My sister and my mom have both picked out some dresses they would like me to try on. I think I know what I want, but it will be fun to try on ones I may not otherwise. Plus I wanna drag out the whole dress thing!!

    We really dont have much to do right now. I guess the only pressing thing right now is finding someone to marry us. Other than that, we can wait and do the rest closer to the wedding. unless I am forgetting things. Not sure.
