  • Did you get a wedding photographer? How about an officiant?

    Is it too early to get your marriage license? (it might be, depending on where you live)

  • Yes on the photog, actually I have two because one dropped an "I'm pregnant!" Bomb on me so I got a second to make sure she's not too tired Yes on the Officiant, we met with him this past weekend to go over the ceremony And No on the license, we are waiting a few more weeks, we're still like 50 or 51 days out so we have some time yet : Thank you!! : I did put license on the list just now.

  • Is all your wedding music decided and communicated to the DJ &/or musicians?

    Do you have your readings picked & readers chosen?  Vows written?

    Slideshow (if you're doing that)

    Garter for toss?

  • I just made a list last night. Limos/shuttle transportation for older guests Pick out readers Finalize ceremony music and communicate to music director Finalize readings and communicate to church/priest Reception playlists Programs (optional but nice) Escort cards Favors (also optional but most supplies already purchased - just waiting a bit longer to buy chocolates) Figure out votive candle situation for reception Finalize flower order and communicate changes to florist (no bouts now, but more cocktail hour flowers) Assemble restroom amenity baskets and my emergency kit Schedule hair and makeup trials (I know I'm late on this but my stylist is a dear friend and she is taking care of me on this front so I am not too worried) Figure out catering options for bride/groom morning preparation rooms (we are both getting ready at the hotel) Finalize reception catering - we have more people RSVP'd no than expected, so we can now add in a late night snack and more appetizers or better booze.
  • My list is growing... eek!

    And no worries, I havent had my trial hair run yet either! :)
