  - reserve hotel rooms for FI and his groomsmen (procrastinator, ugh!)
  - put favors in favor bags
  - DIY cones for lavender (to toss as we walk up the aisle)
  - finish playlists for morning-of and reception
  - make flower girl gift
  - finish day-of schedule
  - get more checks from the bank for our wedding account
  - put together an emergency kit
  - GET THE MARRIAGE LICENSE WOOOO HOOOO HURRRAAAYYY!!!
  
  So I'm definitely in the home stretch. Finding enough music for 5.5 hours of music is going to be time-consuming (our band backed out at the last second, boooo!), but none of it should be too hard.
  My bridal shower and bachelorette party are tomorrow.... I think my mom is more excited about the bridal shower (she planned and payed for most of it) than I am!

  Our to-do list isn't too terrible or time consuming and is mainly consisting of purchases that we can't make until next weekend LOL
  
  DIY
  - finalize and print programs (this will take maybe one night. we're just doing half sheets of 80 lb. card stock printed front and back. Keeping it simple

  - make a sign for our calendar (we're going to have a calendar where guests can find and write down their birthdays and anniversaries)

  - add wrist straps to corsages

  - make 2 more bouts - just in case

  - make one special corsage / bout for my aunt (she's reading and she prefers pin on corsages)

  - finish the Eiffel Tower cupcake stand (Greg needs to paint the rings that go around it)

  - Print and glue in pictures in the windows of the cardhouse

  - Sew our names and the date into my wedding dress.

  - Design and print wedding announcements

  
  

  $$$

  - tulle for hanging in the reception hall

  - wine (gifts for our readers)

  - a glass carafe and lemons for decor

  - calendar

  - earrings for me?

  - toasting glasses?? (we don't even know if we're going to bother with this)

  - go get our thumbprint poster printed since Vista Print sent me a HORRIBLE looking one (it was seriously SO bad even though I made it according to their standards.

  - get a frame for the thumbprint poster and the no-seating plan poster.
