WANTED

Can someone PLEASE lend me their wedding elves?! Because I seriously have a bunch of stuff to get done before the wedding!  I asked Vikki, but she said she didn't have any I could borrow.  Santa said his are on vacation right now....

    Awww thanks Kate!  I'm no so stressed per se... it's more that I just have a lot of stuff to get done.  It's a full time job at this point!  That's what I get DIYing so much stuff! lol!  Oh!  Forgot to tell you, I got the door hangers!  They're fabulous!

    On a really sweet note though, FI just emailed me to tell me that he hired a massage therapist to come to my hotel suite the morning of the wedding to give all the girls massages before we get hair and makeup done.  Really sweet right?!

    Thanks!  All the stuff I need to get done is assembly stuff... favors, programs and quite a few pieces of handmade jewelry that I need to make.  I have a friend coming over today to help me put the favors and programs together.  The jewelry I just need to keep plugging away at.  I hadn't planned on making my BMs jewelry. I actually designed a piece and had someone else make it, and then someone commented to me about how they'd be really excited to get one of my pieces (I make custom handmade jewelry).  Then I realized I really should make them something myself.  They've all gone above and beyond and they deserve something special.  So, just gotta keep moving on it!  Thank you so much for offering though!

    just relax, have some wine, and tackle everything in the order of it's importance!  I would also change it up about every hour so you're not doing hrs straight of one thing. goodluck!

    making check lists really helped me keep sane in the last few weeks, along with some wine haha.

    Yea, he really got points.  Oh, and yesterday he told me that he spent an hour and a half at the mall picking out his outfit for our morning ceremony on the hiking trail.  He wouldn't let me see it.  He said it's a surprise!  cute.  For a guy that could care less about his attire, I thought that was adorable.

    So true! I don't have the patience and talent to DIY so I'm PSE all the way!!

    So sorry to hear that you are stressed Carrie. Sending good knottie vibes over!!

    You are in the home stretch! That is so sweet of your FI to get you massages! I would just start in the order of importance as someone said. With your helpers with the programs, etc you should be able to chisel away at your list pretty quick. Just have some wine and take some deep breaths!

    Carrie,

    Take a deep breathe, have a glass of wine, and honest it really will all get done.  Have a little faith and maybe the wedding elves will show up.

    awwww.. you are all so sweet!  Zoe, you crack me up!  I actually got a big chunk done today.  Most of the favors are finish, except that I ran out of ribbon!  Have to buy more, but I only have 20 more to do.  I also did the OOT bags... still working on the jewelry and have to finish the programs.

    Here are the favors!
