September 2012 Weddings

Weekly checks!

Alright ladies, let's get down to business. What did you do last week? What's on the agenda for this week?

THIS PAST WEEK
-Found earrings on etsy to match my dress 
-Finally finished going back and forth with the proofs and so the invitations are in print as we speak
-Figured out most of the music choices for the reception (bouquet toss, entrances, etc)
-Ordered a bunch of crap off vista print. Return address labels, stickers to close the invites, etc

THIS COMING WEEK
-Order the earrings (prolly today since I'm home all day)
-Email my officiant some readings and vows that I found. I feel really bad that I haven't done this yet- this NEEDS to get done today.
-??? I feel like I'm kind of in a lull right now. I have ALL my vendors booked finally and our entire attire is together. I know I have tons of final details and such, but most of my vendors want to meet in August for that so that everything is fresh for them. I know I have to put together my invitations, but I have to wait for them to arrive!

Re: Weekly checks!

  • Last Week:
    - Worked on my invitation suite. I'm ordering through VP, so today I'm going to order their wedding sample kit to make sure I like the quality and stuff.
    - Looked for wedding jewelry. I'm having a hell of a time with this. I almost ordered a set off of eBay but then saw that it was coming from China, so I hesitated.
    - Found a cake cutter/server set and matching toasting flutes that I liked on BB&B's website, so I added them to my registry.
    - Gathered most of the addresses I need to give to my MOH for the shower invites.
    - Updated our wedding website.

    This Week:
    - Order the wedding sample kit from VP, then hopefully confirm my proofs.
    - Go to Michael's to start getting supplies for my card box (decided to make my own).
    - Maybe some other stuff, I'm not sure yet.

    Anniversary
  • My first round of invitations (150 people) are DONE and I'm sending them out tonight!

    I have no wedding-related goals for this week. We have to get the house ready to sell; we have an open house this weekend. Wedding stuff is on the back burner for the next couple weeks.

  • Last week:
    - Finished printing invitations
    - Went for first dress fitting (pics to come soon)
    - Practiced hair for dress fitting and with all my hair realized my mom is going to need some help (and another curling iron)
    - Bought cufflinks to make for dads
    -Got 99% done with my chalkboard beer mugs and wine glasses for WP...need 1 more coat

    This week:
    Finish chalkboard glasses finally

    That's it for now because I have an exam this weekend and a paper due the following weekend and probably need to focus on those.  Done with one of my classes 2 weeks from Saturday so hoping I'll step it up after that!

  • Last week: Got nothing done, again. Just argued with mom about reception cards for the invites and told BM to order the other girls dresses. I was supposed to go look at wedding bands for myself but don't have the money so why bother? Oh... I did buy more mason jars for the reception (feature drink will be served in them).

    This week: Once again try looking at wedding bands. Still can't afford it though so not sure why I'm looking. Maybe order invites. I'm not really into this whole wedding thing anymore.
