Progress on Planning?

martha783

I'm reading over everyone's posts since I just joined this club officially, and I am overwhelmed at how far along you all are! I know weddings can be planned on MANY different timelines but I'm curious now- what all is "finished" for you of the biggies like...

Date
Venue
Vendors (photog!)
Dress
BP wear
STDs
Invites
epix

I got engaged 6 weeks ago but STILL have been unable to confirm a date (we THINK 6-29) and venue so everything else is up in the air too. I live on one continent and am getting married on another and am dependent on family for help there so that is the reason for the slow progress.

What's done and what's next on your list?

I've been engaged for awhile now but only just now got a budget to work with...
Since september we have:
Ceremony Venue
Reception Venue
(included catering)
Dress/Shoes
Picked out Bridesmaid Dresses
STD printed
Favors
Cake Topper
Most of the Reception Decor (I bought a whole lot of it off of a knottie a month ago!)

This weekend we are booking a photographer and a DJ
I'm negotiating with some florists so hopefully have them booked by next weekend...

Not trying to alarm you but if you are dependant on family help push that date as far back as you are comfortable with. My date is June 1st and I'm already running into alot of vendors being booked for that date.
