  • My biggest to do is to try and pay for it all before the wedding! I have pretty much everything done. The only things I can think of that still need to be done: Personalize our favors. They are twig pens that will act as place cards. The bark is stripped off one side and I will be wood burning all of the guests names. That's gonna take a long time. I have all the invites, just need to put them all together. Put all the welcome bags together..but that can't be done til we get to the hotel two days before. Lose weight! There's gotta be more..but that's all I can think of right now.
