Re: Tuesday Checks
I have a promise ring that FI gave me about 5 years before we got engaged and started planning the wedding, so I figured instead of having it sit there being unused forever, why not melt it down and make it part of my wedding ring! I'm a little bit sad though, because I need to hand over that ring, as well as my engagement ring for about 2 weeks for it to be made. Anyone else had to do this and found it nerve wracking?
I'm also mailing our last cheque to pay off the honeymoon accommodations. yay!
-NWR: We bought a kitchen table and living room furniture
* BM sent out Bach party invites
-Started folding programs last night.
-Looked over our guest list and we think we might just make the minimum needed to pay for (140 people) which means the venue is just about paid off already.
June 2012 May Siggy Challenge: The invitations
WR: Setting up my alteration appointments in a few hours when the place opens.
Worked on the timeline and finished it. (Thanks to Brooke and Zims)
Had my hair trial and now know I need to schedule at least 2 hours for it. Which works out great because that is what I had planned anyways.
Got contact info for all of my vendors and put it all in my "Oh Holy Wedding Binder"
I will be making copies for my FMIL, MOH and Pastor's Wife
First Look
Paid the photog for our shoot the day after the wedding
Finished our thank you banner
Finished assembling the table numbers
Got a hold of a few people who had not sent their RSVPs back
In progress:
Cut out all of the numbers to put on the place cards, just need to get the tables figured out
-Made a stencil to paint the aisle runner
June 2012 March Siggy Challenge: Honeymoon location
My Blog
Had my parents over last night to choose there entrance song for reception and father/daughter dance, also got the song selections from all our BP for there entrance songs for reception. Worked on the program and seating chart a little bit, put together like 4 tables last night with my rents, only atleast 30 more to go! Meeting with DJ tomorrow, and NWR trying to finish planning details / food shop for my grandparents 55th surprise anniversary party this weekend. My mom is in charge of booze / guest - I am taking care of all food! Can't wait to see there faces Saturday though!
Last night:
*Finalized our seating chart...hopefully unless we have any declines in the next couple weeks.
*Finished my vows
*Started work on the silks for the centerpieces
*Edited the time line and sent it to the wedding party along with special dates coming up in the next couple weeks. I plan to give them the final copy at the RD.
Other recent checks:
*Dress fitting
*Make up and Hair trials (Hair went well but make up was ok. Loved what she did with my eyes but needed more coverage for my skin. So I plan to do my own foundation and have her just do my eyes and lips).
*Meeting with the church to discuss ceremony details. Went really well!
*Flowers are complete (they are silks)
Here are some pics. I didn't want to post a fitting pic..sorry ladies I'm getting nervous about showing the dress since we're soo close!!:)
