in April 2013 Weddings
1. Sent in contract and deposit for WP rental house
2. Sent in contract and deposit for equipment rentals(tent, tables, etc)
3. Sent in payment for port-a-john rentals
4. Approved and ordered invitations and beverage/cake napkins!  FMIL is going to tie bows to put on the invitations and mail them to me so I can glue them on.  Go figure, I can tie a knot that will save your life but I don't tie pretty bows...
5. Worked on ceremony/cocktail hour/reception song list
6. Picked up my wedding ring
7. FI's wedding ring should arrive this afternoon
8. Bought postage for invitations

It was a busy weekend/day ;-)

    Wow, that's a lot! Congrats! I need to get reorganized and make a list of what I still need to do.

    I did just send our envelopes to the calligrapher today though so that's exciting!

    Yay!  I'm attempting to address mine myself.  I bought a calligraphy pen and it writes nicely.  I did my sister's invites 11 years ago so I practiced a bit with the workbook thing.  I'm not super worried about it but hopefully it will look nicer with the pen than it will with the workbook markers :-)

    Just curious, did you account for the increase in postage effective 1/27/13?  Or were you lucky enough to get by with a forever stamp?  I'm waiting for them to get the new $0.66 stamp for over 1 ounce and new $0.33 postcard stamp since we'll be mailing ours in Feb.

    I got the forever stamps :-)  I haven't actually weighed my invitations but I'm pretty confident that I can get by with the forever stamp.  The envelope is the size of a normal greeting card envelope and we only have an RSVP card to go with the actual invitation.  I am going to get it weighed just in case and I might have to throw on an extra small stamp but whatever.  I'm confident enough to take the chance ;-)

    We're actually mailing a week earlier to get by with the pre-increase postage (take that USPS!!) It was fine with me because I'm ready for those things to be sent!

    Checks since Christmas (when I was in Texas for a week and actually able to get stuff done):
    -- met wedding coordinator for first time, went to venue to map out a floorplan
    -- went to flower wholesaler, decided on all bouquets, coursages and arrangements
    -- met with decorator and decided on rentals (still waiting for her to send a quote)
    -- got my wedding ring
    -- wrote out ceremony with fiance, complete with prelude music for parents, grandparents and wedding party
    -- got first draft of vows done
    -- booked wedding night hotel room
    -- FMIL picked up addressed invitations

    Need to this week:
    -- book a make up artist (my biggest stressor right now)
    -- book the ceremony musicians
