January 2013 Weddings

this is really happening!!

We just had our tasting yesterday!  It was so great and super exciting!

Our invitations are being printed and I've booked a calligrapher! (I like paper, so I'm being a little special about paper luxuries...)

We are meeting with our photographer again in a couple of weeks.

I still haven't booked a florist.  Sigh.  Or decided whether we're going to have a videographer yet.  Or decided on a makeup artist or hair stylist.  Or chosen favors.

Anybody else as behind as me?  What are you working on now?

Re: this is really happening!!

  • I am starting to feel behind.  I started addressing invites last night but still have to assemble them all which will probably take forever.  I just booked the hair stylist and make up last week. We still have a lot to do though.  I am working on favors next and the tuxes still need to be picked out.  We are trying to sort out how to do the seating and escort card ect.  We have all our vendors booked but need to go over everything with them still we basically just booked their services back in the spring but nothing was every decided on.  We have not even started planning out the ceremony.  I am starting to feel like it will never be done on time with the holidays coming up soon.
  • I am trying to get my bridal portraits and trial run hair and make-up organized. Getting a hold of the stylist is proving more of a challenge that I would have originally thought. FI and I are going to go put the deposit down on the linen rentals on saturday as well as paying the deposit on the other 3 groomsmen's tuxes. A couple of his buddies are tight on cash, so we said we'd help them to bring the price of their tuxes down to what the girls paid for their dresses.

    Aside from that I don't feel behind yet, but I think that once we get more into the holiday season swing I will feel absurdly behind.

    We'll see though.
  • Yeah, I feel pretty behind.  Finally ordered our invitations though, so that's a huge weight lifted!  Just approved the final proof so they should be arriving in about 4 weeks.  My FMIL is going to do the calligraphy and I ordered the envelopes separately so she can get started on that and then when the invites arrive we can just stuff, stamp and send them.  Also, booked our tasting for next month, woohoo! 

    Still no DJ!  It's supposed to be FI's job, and obviously its not a priority for him...

    I'm making progress, but still have tonnns of things that need to get done. 
  • Nix favors, have your hair stylist do your makeup and get on flowers, girl!! :)
