What is left on your list?

AmJam04

I know we're still about 3 months out, but I am so paranoid that there are things I am missing on my list. I've completed a LOT of my "to-dos" but it seems like there should be more...

So, I'm wondering if you ladies are willing to share what's left on your list? I know it may still be a bit incomplete, but I figure we can help each other complete any holes left!

I'll go ahead and start --
1) Find a dress for the shower
2) Complete a Day-Of survival kit
3) Book the honeymoon and renew my passport
4) Assemble invitations and send them out (May 1)
5) Complete the table numbers
6) Figure out escort cards/place cards
7) Complete the welcome bags
8) Set up and order programs
9) Figure out the Must Play and Do Not Play list for the DJ
10) Determine ceremony songs, and Mother/Son and Father/Daughter songs
11) Figure out rentals and make the order
12) Make reservations for the tasting
13) Get the marriage license
14) Final dress fittings
15) Get the guys' tuxes (whether renting or purchasing)
16) Find thank you notes
17) Get thank you gifts for attendants

....
and I think that's it.
Doesn't it seem like I'm missing something!?!
Ahhhh.

Anyway, how about you? Care to share?

3. Fill FG bags
4. Bring 50 mason jars to NH
5. Boys tuxes!!
6. Touch base with caterer
7. Dress fitting
8. Assemble invites(3)
9. Mail Invites May 15th
10. Start making FG dresses
11. Find FG shoes
12. Find quest book
13. Figure out layout of space
14. Ceremony music?
15. Find 20 Childhood photos
16. Assemble 125 cupcake wrappers
17. Find drink tubs
18. Buy a TON of soda
19. Marriage License
20. Final fitting
21. Attend shower
22. Girls night/Bachelorete party

and the panic hits in 3...2...1... AHHH!

Your post prompted me to go back to my TheKnot checklist and, well, I think I'll just start drinking instead. Wow, there's a lot to do!

Mine is fairly similar to the others you have posted.

Finish invitations and get those out (I am making them myself)
Finalize the cake order
Finalize the florist details
Take engagement pictures
Register
Book the honeymoon
Get his passport
Plan the ceremony with our pastor
Determine and download the song list for the reception (We are doing an iPod)
Find my shoes (This has proven to be really difficult)
Buy his suit
Buy ties for the groomsmen
Book the wedding night hotel
Figure out transportation for us
Purchase wedding rings
Fitting appointments for my dress
Finish and make programs
Plan rehearsal dinner
Determine gifts for attendants


ETA: One thing that is holding us back from some of the larger puchases (honeymoon, wedding rings, etc) is that I am in the middle of refinancing my house. We will be renting it out after the wedding, and we are wanting to lower the monthy payment so we can at least break even on the rent. I want to wait until the refinance closes to have some of those things hit my bank account.

Oh boy, lets see... Finish assembling invites and mail them Make program fans Order escort cards and menus Buy picture frames and make table numbers Buy my accessories Buy remaining bm gifts Make must play and do not play list for dj Work on timeline Find seamstress for my dress and do fittings Make rehearsal dinner guest list Gather pictures for FI to make slide show Order goodie bags for dessert table Possibly find purple flats to change into at reception Book our room for wedding night Finalize menu choices I'm sure I'm forgetting things but I actually don't feel like its that much since I've done most of the DIY stuff already. Now it's just finalizing everything.

Can't believe we're at 3 months! Guess that means I can start on things I wanted to wait until closer to the wedding to do!

To-do in the next month or so: 

• Get my butt to the gym! lol
• Dress Fitting
• Pick out men's tuxes
• Buy FG basket & RB pillow
• Confirm rentals
• Get BM robes embroidered
• Mail out invitations
• Decorate cake stand
• FI to build our altar
• Buy wine bottles & sharpies for guest book
• Buy giant Martini Glasses for Mashtini Bar
• Order sparklers

Things we have to wait on until closer to the wedding:

• Paint frames for table numbers(don't want paint to get scratched up in storage)
• Welcome bags
• Put together place cards (can't do until we have RSVPs)
• Bridesmaid bouquets

Belle0720

Oh yeah, and dance lessons and figure out music lists!

I feel like I have sooooo much left to do but I'm not freaking out yet (surprisingly).

I'm going to give more of a what-I'm-thinking-about-now list:

1. Shoes. I need them.
2. Jewelery. I'm so indesicive.
3. Pie topper
4. Order table cloths
5. Continue to collect glass jars
6. Bridal shower dress--I just bought this GORGEOUS navy dress at Banana Republic and I think I might wear it. It channels Jackie-O like woah.
7. Invites. I should probably work on actually addressing those.

Lets see:

FI's ring
size my wedding band
cut table names and name cards to size and start to label
get my dress
find veil, jewelry, and underclothes
redo makeup trial with more natural looking makeup
hair trial
bach party
bridal shower
mail out invites and finish addressing the last few
start taking things to my parents
get my son and the rest of the GM to get fitted
figure out night of accomodation
figure out day of transportation
figure out day of timeline
Send DJ song list for ceremony and discuss music at reception
speak and meet with florist about changes in colors
email judge to find out ceremony flow
email photog about list of pics needed (need a lot with my dad and grandma)
assemble favors(cant do til really close since they have candy)
put ribbon on bubbles
make an example in guest book
engagement pics
bring card box to my sister to finish

Think that is all

(Also, this is proving more difficult than I thought)
*Get bridal shoes
*Get veil (last minute decision)
*Get remaining accessories
*Take engagement pictures (in two weeks!)
*Cake tasting/finalizing order
*Choosing apps for wedding (evening wedding)
*Choosing song list for DJ (have first dance and father/daughter dance songs picked)
*Coordinating travel and accomodations for bridal party
*Waiting on my dress (not slated to arrive until the week before /grumbles)
*Finish wedding website (update with e-pics/registry)
*Register
*Meet with pastor; plan ceremony
*Vendor check-in
*Venue check-in
*Get groomsman tuxes
*Think of and purchase wedding party gifts
*Think of and purchase wedding favors
*Book wedding night hotel/plan weekend/honeymoon staycation
*Win the lottery
*Buy/drink wine after work today

^just thought of:
*Buy guestbook and related stuff
*Order leis for mother presentation during ceremony
*Fill out bridal party and bride/groom section of wedding website
*Get marriage license
*FI wedding band
*My wedding band
