I haven't planned much in the last week because I've been working like a dog for one and also because I'm in midterms.

But I can't help but worry I am missing a lot!!!

-I still don't have catering, I am scheduled for a meeting tomorrow, hopefully it works out
-NO officiant, I need a bilingual one that can offer a 20 minute service
-My aunt hasn't started the favors she's making
-NO BM dresses, found some cute ones at nordstrom and got positive feedback, yet no action
-FG dress, I'm not even sure if I should keep her, she's not very outgoing, I am scared she won't do it, but she's a cutie
-NO groom tux, much less groomsmen
-I haven't printed out the invitations, I don't even have addresses!
- I have to put ribbons on fans and parasols and print out the tags that go with them
-I havent even begun the wishing tree!!!
-still need to buy shoes
-haven't lost a pound to fit into the dress!!!!
-paint the pots for the CP's

I don't want to leave anything til the end, especially since I found out a couple weeks ago, entry exam for the PA program are around the wedding date!!!

    Stephany, don't freak out, just start tackling one task at a time. But I think you def. need to start attacking that list of To - Do Items, as you're at the five month mark.

    Dont worry girl, some people plan their entire wedding in 6 month or less. Just make sure you prioritize your list. 

    - officiant and caterer is very important so start at that.
    -Groomsmen tux shouldnt be that high on the list, thats fast and easy.
    -If you approved of the BM dress, thats as far as you should go on that. Tell your bridesmaids that is is now their responsibility to make sure they get it asap. Or give that task to your MOH to organized everything. (remember, they are there to help you)
    -Favors can usually be done even 2 months before the wedding (not saying you should wait that long, but definitely dont worry yet)

    GL!

    Just prioritize.  You have plenty of time for groom's tuxes, and as far as losing weight, do the best you can, but don't freak out.  They let those things out all the time, and you might drop weight due to stress right before the big day anyway.  I dunno what kind of favors your aunt is making but you have PLENTY of time for those!

    I would get a move on with the BM and FG dresses since those could take 12 weeks to deliver, and will probably need alterations.  Book your caterer and officiant in the near future.  Start getting an address list together, but you have about another 100 days before they need to be mailed out:)  You are okay!  Just try to work steadily do you don't have a freak out!
