  • This month we are:

    1)Meeting with Officiant
    2)Meeting with 2 potential Cake Vendors
    3)Meeting with 2 potential DJ/Lighting Companies
    4)Tasting with Caterer
    5)Site visit with Tent Rental Company
    6)Engagement Pictures(doubling as a trial for wedding hair/makeup)
    7)Continuing the search for a Wedding Gown :-)

    So hopefully we book our Officiant, Cake Baker, DJ/Lighting, Tent Rental, & Caterer all this month! At this point we have Venue, Florist, Photographer, Stationer, BM dresses picked(not ordering until next yr). That leaves ceremony harpist and videographer to book in the next couple of months (which I've already researched and contacted, just don't have the time to meet with them and book yet). And then once we have our engagement pics back we can finish up our wedding website and make our save the dates!

    It feels so good to type it all out!

    <div>Cool regarding the tasting! I thought we should do our now, but the venue coordinator told us to wait until next year to get this done. I wish I could have received my hair and make up trail for e-photos, but they are both out of town :(</div>

  • this is a good idea...we have all these lists as guidelines, but it's nice to be able to make my own personal checklist... I feel like I'm just overwhelmed with all the things TK and WW and everyone thinks I should be doing! So for October, focusing on a few key things:

    1. Deposit for caterer (in negotiations)
    2. Deposit for Photographer (in negotiations)
    3. Find a VRBO for our minimoon
    4. E-Pics

    Can't believe it's already 9 months!  I think it's going to be a quiet month... in some regards!  Here are my to-dos:

    -Order/print STDs
    -Finish gathering addresses (this is mostly on my mom and FMIL!)
    -Send STDs
    -Start making invites
    -A few DIY project here and there, but nothing's too pressing at the moment
    -Put deposit on a florist
    -Hotel block
