What is left on your to do list.... Here is mine:

Wedding Date: 8.31.12

**July/September brides jump in too**

Book Night of Hotel
Flower Girl dresses
Menu
Programs
Suspenders for the little boys in our wedding
Dancing shoes(this sista is kicking them heels off when its time to get the party started)
Mail Invitations (mailing them this weekend)
Bridal Shower Dress
Birdcage for cards (anyone know of a place beside Etsy where I can get this)
Secure MUA

This is all I can think of right now...Im at work and I usually have my book with my to do list.

    August 25th... can't believe it's less than two months away!

    Part of my to do list is actually to write out a to do list! LOL Here are a few things though...
    -Need to confirm my programs and menus
    - Send my final payments 
    - Finish things with the welcome bags... ie. my bag newsletter
    - Fix my card box (It was DIY gone wrong lol!)
    - Get earrings for my bridesmaids
    -Figure out groomsmen gifts, and buy the rest of the bridesmaids gifts. 

    There are probably a million more things I am forgetting! I want everything done in the next few weeks so I can relax up until!
