1 Week!

jennyinyellow · September 2010

I have hit my 1 week mark! I am also freaking out that I am going to forget something major! I have a lot of organizing to do this weekend!
Cara - how are you doing? Do you have much left to do?

Woo hoo!!! I am so excited for you! I think everyone has that feeling though. I know I already have the 'I forgot something' feeling and I am 6 months out.

Yay!! That is so exciting! Good luck on all your last minute details. Try to stick to the idea that if you haven't gotten to it at this point, it probbaly won't matter. Enjoy your last week as a single lady!!

About a month out, I crossed everything off my "to do" list that I didn't think was necessary. Right now its just getting the place cards and programs done (FI's projects).

Yay so exciting!! Every day I think, I'm __ days......but JIY is _____ days!! haha

I don't have much to do. I'm still trying to get the dress right, but otherwise.... I'm getting everything together to take to the venue on Wednesday. I have to get dining room chairs from my grandparents to use for the hora. My mom is finishing the hotel bags. There isn't too much going on. Just ready for it to be here!!

Awww Jenny Yay! PS I didn't forget about your FB message, I will e mail you tonight. I'm so happy for you, you are going to look just stunning! I'll be blog stalking and FB stalking for pictures. Don't worry everything will go just fine, and anythign you may forget, you won't care about.

AHHHH! I can't believe we have hit the 1 week mark!!!

We met with our venue tonight for our final meeting; it went really well. We decided to add back on the open bar (we originally cut it to beer and wine only, because of cost, but because we had way more no's than expected, we were able to add back in the open bar!).

They told us tonight that they would set up our candy buffet for us, which is a HUGE weight off our shoulders. They usually set up the escort cards/memorial table/guestbook/gift table/etc, but specialty settings, like candy buffets, they prefer that you come in and set it up. They told us tonight that if we set it up at home, take a picture of it, and give the picture to him when we drop everything off on Friday (another huge help), they will set it up for us. We are setting it up in the ballroom, which no one will be allowed in until dinner, so that gives us time to have someone (like my parents) check on it as soon as they get to the hall after formal church pics.

Monday we are getting our marriage license; FI is back in the office on Monday, and his office is next door to the county building. I still need to print out all the signs (memorial table, love is sweet candy buffet, freewill offering sign, donation cards for the tables; we decided to print candy labels for only unwrapped candy, in case someone has an allergy or needs sugar free candy), but other than that, there isn't much that needs to be done. We have to take the cake items (the ribbon for our cake, the Lego toppers and Lego candy for the grooms cake) to the bakery tomorrow. The boys pick up their tuxes on Tuesday, my mom picked up her dress yesterday, my FMIL got hers today, my sister is getting hers hemmed tomorrow (all she needed, and her mom is doing it). I need to pack for the wedding night and following night, send out the general itinerary to everyone, talk to my dad about getting the dog to his place for the wedding day, FI and I need to finalize outfits for the rehearsal dinner, and we need to take a whole bunch of items (clothes, everything wedding) to my moms (since I am spending the night there Friday). I have to call the DJ tomorrow, as I totally forgot to mail in the forms to him, so I scanned them in and am going to ask if I can email them to him (it was a blessing in disguise, since we changed vendors last minute!). I also need to clean our place top to bottom (since my BIL and nephew are staying here Friday night; my sister and nieces are staying at my moms with us).

Luckily, my mom is off all next week, and FI is off Thursday afternoon and Friday. I have a mani/pedi/full set appt on Thursday, but am planning on going in earlier in the week to get my eyebrows done (I got scared- thanks Ooods!).

JIY, I did the same thing you did; anything that was not totally necessary, I scratched. At the beginning of this planning process, two years ago, I had all these detail and intricate plans. Funny how that list drastically shrunk when I got really close! Cara, I want to see pictures of this dress when all is said and done! I can't believe we have a week to go. I can't wait to hear about your special days, ladies (and see pics)!

Ms.BriarRose · September 2010

Oh, and I need to write a speech for the RD, a speech for the wedding (since FI won't talk), and do FI's card/letter. I have totally procrastinated on those items, and have writer's block a week before...AHHHH!

1 Week!
