Re: QOTD 7/17

  • For me it's DIY projects and officially booking the caterer and beverage provider.

  • FI has more stuff to do than I do.  He's in charge of figuring out and booking transportation, so he's going to do that soon and he needs to get working on his questionairre for the officiant.  

    I've been pretty busy with FSIL's shower doing DIY projects and just being annoyed with all the drama... 

    Sending out our STDs next month though!

  • We need to contact the DJ because even though he knows we want to book him, we haven't signed a contract or anything and he hasn't called us yet. We also need to order STDs and start getting ideas for a suit for FH.

  • I decided that it would be a good idea to have transportation to the venue for me and my bridesmaids so I am looking at that, need to get the contract for the hotel room block and also the florist.

  • Yesterday, today, and tomorrow we had/have meetings with the 3 photographers we are considering. I'm hoping after the third meeting we will be able to make our decision. Next Monday = meeting with DJ (hopefully to put down our deposit, if FI agrees he is the right choice). And traveling to Chicago this weekend to hopefully find THE dress! 

    And PP just reminded me that I should probably get going with transportation ASAP. We are hoping to have shuttles out to the venue from the city and the wedding is Memorial Day weekend, so I really should get going on that!

  • In the next two weeks or so I'm hoping to meet with a couple florists, block off hotel rooms, order the bags for my candy buffet and figure out what I want to stamp on them, and get our wedding site mocked up. I sent off to my FI last night my top 3 honeymoon places, so hopefully we can decide on one and maybe book it soon too. I'm also slowly working on some DIY stuff, but had otherwise taken a break since February, so it's time to get moving again!

  • We have florist appts lined up next couple weeks hoping nail that down this month. Also want to do some cake tasting and have cake stuff done by August. Next month we have our epix session and nail down our guest list the final copy, which will also begin lovely task of seating charts!

  • I should have my engagement pictures back in about 3 weeks and then I will need to do STD's 

    Before then I would like to get the florists/flowers pinned down (still a bit confused on all I want to do) and book one of the 2 cake places that I am stuck between. 

    I also need to figure out an officient, how do you do this when you aren't a church goer and dont want your ceremony too religious??

    Happy Tuesday Everyone! 10 Months from Tomorrow!

  • We have to get most of the big things done before we go back to school in August.  Thankfully we just booked our cake baker this afternoon so that's one big thing out of the way.

    Next for us are:

    Florist
    Caterer
    Putting the deposit down on the photographer (next Monday)

  • Mel, what is a celebrant?!? I would love to hear about this!!

  • The dress and flowers

    (I'm glad I'm not the only one who hasn't found a dress yet - so many of you on this board are so on top of things! I'm getting dress-stress from not having a dress yet =/)

    Also JW, does an officiant have to be religious necessarily? I know the one we booked was very open to whatever we wanted for the ceremony be it religious or not.

    </div><div>They are like JPs, but with religious training.  They are not affiliated with any religious organization, but have been trained to know about tons of different religions.  They can create a custom combination ceremony for you, which is why we're using them.  We are incorporating some Hindu elements (FI's religion) into a western ring and vow ceremony with a couple of Jewish customs (that's me).

    <div>Well holy smokes, that sounds exactly like what we need! We were going to go with a JP who is the uncle of a friend because FI is Christian and I am Jewish, but neither of us are very religious and so didn't really want to incorporate religion. This turned into somewhat of a problem for some family members, so I will definitely look into a celebrant! Thanks, Mel!</div>
