Too much too early or right on time?

rbwashington2012

I know this has been posted before, but I think I might have turn into a bull in a china shop. Short background, March thru August is the busy time in my office, budget season, end of year close out and starting of a new fiscal year. So I jumped on the to-do list right after the bridal fair we went to on January 15,2012..

I think my to-do list is completely backwards! Need help getting back on track.

This is what we have done already: venue, decor, flowers, catering, DJ, cake/cupcakes, dress, photographer, videographer, registry, STDs, invitations, honeymoon, makeup artist, hairdresser and their backups, rehersal dinner and the after party.

Pending: officiant (waiting on him to contact me back), groom's suit (started this weekend), block of rooms to be booked this week

Have not done at all or any idea: rings, nail and toe look, welcome bags, honorary bridesmaids gifts and parent gifts

Is there anything I am missing or does it sounds like I been a little too busy since January 15?

It sounds like you are a super woman!  You've done a lot in such a short time.  I can't think of anything you may be missing.  I've been planning since last March and you are ahead of me and I had to get a planner.  I am jealous. LOL!

rbwashington-  I have one concern.  Honorary bridesmaid?  Honestly, that is a little insulting.  It kind of insinuates that the woman is just not quite special enough to stand up with you on the big day...but you want her to have the honor, without the public recognition.  Why can't she be a regular bridesmaid?  I'd say the only exception to this is if the woman in question is unable to attend the wedding, for example if she were to be deployed at the time of the ceremony.

Other than that, all of your planning sounds like it is going great!

To response, this was actually their idea. These two ladies are actually out of state and wanted to do a ton of things for me but felt they could not do everything they want to because of the distance (one is in Florida and the other one is in Texas). So I agreed to the idea. They will have public recognition at the wedding. I was totally against it at first, but they explained that it will still be the same without them having to stand up during the ceremony. FH will not have groomsmen either and he liked the ladies idea of honorary bridesmaids.

Thanks for the thumbs up on the planning.  :)
