200 Days to Go!

Well today is finally here! My 200 day mark. I never thought it would come so darn fast  but I am so thankful it is here. I feel like I am getting "over" the planning of my wedding at times b/c it's stressful lol. After today I will be in the "100's" and that's kind of scary. So here is what I have done so far at this major mark in planning

- venue booked
- dress & veil purchased
- bridesmaids dresses done
- aisle runner purchased {not designed yet}
- cardbox purchased {not designed}
- invitiation consult done
- photographer booked
- videographer booked
- florist booked
- hair & make up artists booked
- save the dates are done {not sent out yet}
- 3/4 bridal party gifts done

Here is what I have left {some of it anyway}
- buy my shoes and crystallize the heels
- send out my s-t-d's
- makeup trial
- order flower girls dresses
- tuxes
- mock up of centerpieces
- boudoir shoot {if i lose 45lbs}
- payments lol
- design aisle runner
- design cardbox
- order cake bags {we have so much dessert}
- order vintage popcorn machine for viennese hour
- order flip flops from old navy when they go on sale for $1
- finish buying bridal party gifts
- buy parent gifts
- start thinking about ceremony music
- wedding program details
- order wedding bands
- book a honey or mini moon

I think I am on track. I am trying to get the little details taken care of so that it doesn't overwhelm me so much. I might have forgotten something i'm not sure lol.

    Congrats! You are on a roll girl!

    I'm also waiting for that $1 old navy flip flop sale, since I'm now getting married in the spring I would like to provide "dancing shoes"
