What is everyone up to this week?

I am finally meeting with a potential DJ. We have had the meeting set up for over a month, hopefully it goes well, I am really anxious to get one booked and have that out of the way.

    Have multiple major freakouts over the list of DIY projects I put together this weekend. I have a ton of time, but I am worried that if I do a bunch of projects too far in advance, I'll change my mind or my vision, and I'll have to re-do them... Anyone have any advice to ease my mind?

    We found our invites yesterday!  So now we just have to re-confirm all the times/meals and then we can place our order :)  I am so excited.  I'm also putting a list together with completion dates so that we can start to organize all the little details.

    I would say pick 2-3 big DIY projects and just do those.  You think you have all this time but really, you're going to be so busy with wedding planning and living your regular life, you probably won't have time.  Pick the top few that mean the most to you and put your effort into those.  DIY = stress (to me).

    2500 Comments Fourth Anniversary 25 Love Its Name Dropper
    Things are finally coming together, RSVPs are coming in slowly...now I've just got a bunch of DIY stuff to work on.

    This week I need to:
    -Assemble and spray paint the arch I bought from another bride (it's black, I want it white). I need to make sure I know how to put it together so I'm not stressed out on the day before the wedding.
    -Need to work on paper flowers
    -Need to put together the pre-nup and sign with FI.

    I'm to the point where anything I get done now is just gravy, because everything that NEEDED to absolutely be done, is.
