Hi ladies, please tell me what you had left to do in your final week.  I feel like I'm in a really good place, but I don't want to realize last minute that I completely spaced on something.

I've completed all DIY's, have guest book, card birdcage, bathroom baskets, kids bags, toasting flutes, candles and all non-floral centerpieces ALL ready to be handed over to my caterer on Thursday.

Then for the final few days, I have hair cut scheduled on wednesday, mani/pedi on thursday, rehearsal & dinner on Friday, then more hair before wedding saturday.

    Hey Chantel, I'm 13 days out!!! What do ya know, congrats! Where's your wedding?
    It sounds like you're ahead of me. I still have to finish printing my programs and assemble, tie tags onto favors, assemble my emergency kit, wrap BM and GM gifts, assemble welcome bags for hotels, and write out the escort cards. We only did the seating chart last night b/c people were really late getting back to us! (Very aggravating).
    Good luck!!

    Hi dberret, I'm at the Roger Williams Botanical Center, you???

    Hmm, your post just reminded me to wrap attendant gifts!  Stay focused and you'll be fine...not too much left, it looks like :)

    Oh how pretty! I've heard great things about it. My church, St. Mary's in Portsmouth and Regatta Place on Goat Island in Newport. I'm really praying for good weather since it's in a tent! :-)
    I'm picking away at things each night so I think I'll be ok. There's just so much to remember!

    I'm getting married that weekend too!  I'm still completing all the last minute things.  I finished all of my menus, but am still working on my programs.  All of the menus & programs have a little bow on them.... I'm soooo sick of tying the bows!  I won't be sad when I'm done with that! :)  I also still need to print all of my place cards.  You're probably already on top of this, but one thing that is tough about our venues is knowing the layout of the tables & which numbers are which.  Then, obviously you need to let the caterer know exactly how many chairs are at each table, and want the right people in the right locations.  I did a walk through at the Casino last week with Heather & my caterer to figure out the exact layout.
    Chantel- did you say your taking pics at the Carousel?  We're supposed to be there sometime around 4.... will we cross paths?

    Cozmo, I've wondered how you're fairing....I know we're the same date/park!  I've set the floorplan already, my caterer was so helpful.  Who are you using?

    No pictures at the carousel for me :(  But, lucky you, I'm sure they'll be gorgeous!

    Are you considering coming to the RI G2G?  we get back from our honeymoon the night before, but I think I will.

    We're using Blackstone-- they've been super helpful as well.  I've been so thankful on so many occasions that I chose a location that I needed a caterer for.... I'm not sure I could have pulled this whole thing off without the catering coordinator!

    We don't get back from our honeymoon until the evening of the 24th, so I'm out for the get together.  I'm not sure what I'm going to do with myself after the wedding & honeymoon are over! :)
