Thanks Stina51286! I love that we're wedding twins! I got engaged last month, so I feel like I have a lot to catch up on. But I feel 1,000 times better that we have the venue and date booked. I think finding a church and hotels by the venue is next on our list, along with booking a DJ and photographer. I can't wait to look for dresses either!

When are you sending out your save the dates?

I also see your doing a candy buffet - us too! I can't wait.

We are probably sending them out between November and January. I have tons of family that live out of state.

We are wedding twins too!!!!! Congrates on your wedding!!!
I fell like I am so far behind now. I have everything picked out on paper but nothing booked as of yet. I do have the sample of my wedding programs done. I did them myself. I have made my own wedding planning binder too. I can't wait until I have put the deposit down on the venue. I have been following the time line on here so I thought I was on track.

@jerseychic24 - we're getting married at Snug Harbor in staten island. I'm from Jersey and my FI is from Long Island do it's a good middle ground for us.

@stina - that sounds like a perfect time to send them out!

@mistyandgregg - congratualtions to you as well!! I think the best part is that you have a planing binder and a timeline. I felt 100% better after we secured the venue and the date, so I understand what you mean. But don't stress! I need to write down all my ideas on paper too, and get organized.

Thats my day too. I feel way behind i just did a job interview three weeks ago and am waiting to hear back on it. So i may be to square one again if we have to move. But i have a place picked out just need to book it after i find out about the job. A friend is a professional photographer so thats done. A family friend is doing the cake and flowers ( two differnt people) I have a shop intown thats going to do my alterations and bridesmaides dresses and tux rentals if we stay here. Thats it i relized today crap october is next month. Freaking out a bit.

lambs379 · September 2012

At Kelleywill - I think you are good! Looks like you have a lot done - I think the venue is the biggest part, so if you have to move and you already have a venue in mind, well done! Hope you got the job, btw!

Are any of you getting engagement pictures done? Or had them done? Just curious everyone's timing on that...

lorenaw · September 2012

I am getting married that day too! so excited even if I am older and its our second time around. We are doing everything ourselves, so I have been buying alot of the decorations right now so I am not rushing around 6 weeks before the wedding trying to find them! Fall decorations are all half off right now too so that is surely a bonus on the budget!

lambs379 · September 2012

Lorenaw, That's actually a great idea about buying fall decorations now! I have some fall, rustic centerpeices in mind, so it might be a good idea to buy things now or at the end of this fall. Thanks for the idea!
