April 2013 Weddings

Check time

So, how was everyone's weekends wedding wise? Some checks? What do you have coming up? I've been making all sorts of calls and appointments for all the final vendor stuff- like final florist appointment, final dress fitting, final venue appointment to drop off decorations, and on and on. Exhausting- I will so be ready for vacation!

Checks: Finally got FI tux rental set up
Organized all my wedding stuff- it had become a mess!
Got the place cards all ready with their menu choice on the back
Got the seating arrangement done
EDIT: Got must have photo list done as well, and print outs of the readings for the readers

I showed FI the seating arrangement Saturday night and he threw a hissy fit! He was all- there are only 9 people here for me, the rest are for you! (26 people total, including us). He has seen the guest list many times and we've talked about it so many times, so I told him, well it's not my fault you didn't listen or communicate with me earlier that there were other people you wanted to invite, and it's too late now, this is the final guest list. I refuse to feel bad, he was being a baby! It's like one day, he loves the friends he invited, the next day- he doesn't want them there and he wants other people there. I tell you- this wedding is bringing out the pms in my FI.

Re: Check time

  • Great checks!

    I also organized some of my wedding stuff and am making a list of all my decor items and where they have to go to pass on to my wedding coordinator.

    Sorry to hear about your FI.  Mine is sort of the same I feel he half listens to anything wedding related.  Yesterday I went to scan the updated limo contract which he received a couple of weeks ago.  I take one look at it and it is still wrong, the vehicle we want and the amount owing!  FI didn't even look at when he received it.  He called today and made sure we have the proper vehicle reserved but who knows why he didn't look over the contract they mailed him.
  • Good checks, for sure!

    We finalized our ceremony with our priest and sent readings out to our readers. Also, we confirmed the sash color at our venue and had another dance lesson. I meant to get to programs but it just didn't happen. RSVPs are due back on Sunday, so we'll be getting into calling people and table arrangements shortly after that.
  • I got the party checks covered - but that is it!  FI has been pretty good about the planning, but does not listen all the time either and then when I get something done he is like - Wait, what?  When did we decide this??  Ugh...

    Photo List needs to be done this week, I have procrastinated my butt off on this one, final meeting with the venue, shopping and dropping my dress off to get it taken in and hemmed - all this week.  Oh, and thank you cards for the Bridal shower.  I am doing those tomorrow.

  • Centerpiece vases are done!
    I finished designing the ceremony programs.
    Photo list has been done for weeks, I'm going to send that to my photographer now.

    Uhh, that's about it. I have a ton of stuff to do.
  • Glad to hear I'm not the only one with a FI that is JUST NOW becoming involved!  trying to take it all in stride, although I am def entering that phase where I am sick of entertaining the bridal party and having 'events'.  I know the day will go by in a flash and I'll look back at all this fondly, but right now I just want it to be over and be on our honeymoon :)

  • I just did the Bach party this weekend.

    FMIL is slacking on the bridal shower invitations.  She's stressing that she's getting them out too late, which is undoubtedly going to cause her to put them off even longer.  She's worried that there won't be a lot of people there but I'd probably prefer that.  I just need to know if we're still going to do it or not so I can make other plans to cash in my Southwest points.
  • Finished writing the ceremony. Started my cardbox, started centerpiece vases but ran out of lace ribbon and started music list.

    By the end of the week I hope to accomplish purchasing pocket squares for the guys, bouquets for myself and maids, and hair piece for myself.

  • Big big HUGE check today: We got the marriage license!!!!!!!! Also discovered our Must Have photo list was completed months ago (yay me!). Also cut out the escort cards, getting ready to glue them to their backings. Also deadline for RSVP was Saturday but we got 1 today and a few more are in the mail, according to their senders. Don't know what my FMIL has finished but she is working on the favors and centerpieces as I type. Also getting ready for my bridal shower this Saturday!!!!!
  • I had my shower on sunday, it was fantastic and lovely.

    We had a huge check this morning as well. Marriage license acquired!!! We're ready to get this show on the road. 27 days to go!
