Re: QOTD 3/19
I'm planning to meet with the officiant this week to work out the ceremony order and email the event planner afterward.
Finishing up the ceremony programs.
I really want to avoid looking into the newspaper announcements since we don't have any pictures I really like...I should have had it figured out by now, but it just wasn't happening.

-We are making a trip to LaCrosse to pick up our rings and get all of the supplies for the invites, centerpieces and fans.
- Dress fitting tonight

I need to stalk my bank account to see when the help department cashes my check so I know my birth certificate is on the way.

Planning Bio
I haven't so much been neglecting things, I just don't seem to have enough time in a week! Arg..
It's been 6 months now, I am dying to try it on and get it to my grandmother for alterations.
This on the plate for this week:
- Shopping for dresses with mom, FMIL and grandmother on Sat
- Grandmother is coming to stay with FI and I for 2 weeks, she will be making all the BM dresses - 1 down - 5 to go, but it takes her about a day to do one. She will also be making 2 ring pillows, we will be looking for fabric / lace for my veil, and she will also be making shawls for my BM as the priest has requested shoulder's covered.
- I have completed 100 of 150 invites, need to finishing cutting the inserts for the rest tonight, and than will hopefully be assembling the remaining pocketfolds this week. We are hoping to send out by April 15. FI cousin is getting married 3 weeks before us, so we are waiting until we receive her invite before we send ours.
Things to get moving on...
- I am beginning to freak, as my dress is still not in!
- Sit down with our priest to hash our ceremony! So I can make programs!
- Meet with florist, decorator, DJ around details!
AH so much to do! It's been difficult as we have so many weddings this year with friends and family, every weekend there is either a wedding, shower or bachelorette/ bachelor / stag parties. Also birthdays and my grandparents 55th wedding anniversary party my mom and I are planning for them in May...
We also need to discuss alcohol with our venue.....we are trying to figure out how to limit it without looking cheap. Might see if the venue can bring in some cheaper options of wine.
June 2012 August Siggy Challenge: Favourite Pro Pic (I couldn't choose just one!)
- cut inserts for invitations and assemble
- call post office about hand cancelling
- call obligatory wedding coordinator at church and inform her of our plans
- call reception venue to schedule meeting to go over menu
- pick out dress for first shower
- clean out closets
- get tires replaced on car
-Work on assembling favors
-Complete corsages, bouts, and my bouquet
-Head to the store to pick up a sample vase for the centerpiece for a mock-up
-Find pretty wrapping paper and ribbon as I will attempt to make the card box!
I need to put the ribbons on our photo strip sleeves
NWR: Work, interview tomorrow, and apply to more positions.
I've been slacking on talking to my uncle about the cake. I don't know why, he's my uncle and is a great guy but I just keep slacking on it.
I need to finalize the cake details.
And I need to contact the florist about more changes to my order.
FMIL and I printed our invitations. All that's left to do is address them and put the directions in. So relieved that they are almost done!
--schedule appointment to look at our venue to plan decorations
--Saturday is my appointment for fitting and alterations to have a bustle added
--find music for the ceremony
I'm on Spring Break this week so my biggest thing is cleaning/organizing the house. FI keeps telling me he can't move in in June if there isn't room for him!
