Monday Morning Quarterback

minionlover · September 2012

What did you get done? What were you supposed to get done but didn't? And what's the plan for this week?

lehc723 · September 2012

Not much, really, we were at another wedding. A lot of analyzing and worrying, ha. And I started our table number assembly, which is going ot be such a bigger pain than I thought.

Simply_Caitlin · September 2012

We had our tasting, picked out the music, ordered the rest of the flowers and floral picks, picked and submitted the pictures for the guestbook.. I don't know, it sure seemed like I was a lot busier haha.

This week I need to pick up the rest of the flowers, my in laws are throwing me a little shower/bachelorette party on Friday (they knew I wanted a small, low key bachelorette party and didn't want to invite the whole gigantic family so they decided to throw me this at a local restaurant so everyone feels involved) and I'm anticipating a mental breakdown on the 13th when I realize it's a month away haha.

Got Done:
Ordered Guestbook. We got the tree you sign from esty.

Bachelorette party was Saturday night - HAD A BLAST!
Asked my 2 cousins to hand our programs.
GOT FI'S PASSPORT STUFF MAILED!
Called baker to confirm flavors
Photographer is paid in full
Got our wedding thank you cards in the mail, and return address labels. Weird seeing my name with FI's last name!

Should have done:
Got liquor and wine ordered
We decided to do the dollar dance so I need bags for that
We also decided to throw bouquet, so I need to call florist about a throwing bouquet... it might be included, i should check the contract.

FI finally ordered all his GM gifts. Just need to get bags to wrap them all once they come in.

We were supposed to finalize stuff with the photographer, didn't get that done. Supposed to do a bunch of other stuff, but at least one thing got completed!

We both had our parties this weekend, bachlor & bachlorette! Then we recovered & snuggled yesterday. That's all we planned now this week is time to really get work done.

mlperkins12 · September 2012

I didn't do anything, but didn't really plan to either. I'm headed to Denver this week on a business trip so I was getting ready for that. Short of sending out final payments to my last couple of vendors, I think we are ready to head down the aisle!

SharEtoBe · September 2012

Most of my weekend I slacked but yesterday was super productive. I picked up the GM gifts from the engraver. FI and I filled out our info sheet for our officiant. We also selected music (finally, yay!) We even practiced our first dance which went really well until FI decided he would dip me but essentially tripped me instead and we both slipped. It was actually pretty funny but makes me think there will be no dipping at the wedding.
This week I'm planning to book our shuttle, decide if we are going to have a videographer, we are meeting with our rental company tomorrow morning to select dishes and linens, and buy our liquor. I am traveling for business for most of the week so I'm not sure how much of this will actually get done.

Working on the PRINTED seating chart right now

We got details ironed out for our cermony/venue site and our approx of how much it will cost...
Had a great Bday yesterday, FI took me out for breakfast then we
had our E-PICS taken... and the police showed up cause we were on private property HEHEH that was funny! (and I get them TODAY ALREADY WOOHOO)
I will PIP later on this evening or in the morning

We had our final florist appt. and got to see a mock up of our centerpieces and I met up with a couple of my bridesmaids bc dresses came in and I wanted to see them get fitted.
I ordered my earrings and hair piece.

I also finalized stuff with the photographer and emailed our limo people a confirmation of times

This week- I started to work on my seating chart this morning and I want to get that done as our RSVP deadline is approaching, I'm going to start working on it, we need to give a final table count to the florist at the end of the month.
I have my hair trial on Friday so im going to confirm start times with her for the day of.

should have done:
i did everything i wanted to since we dont really have much to do!

ivedonethisb4 · September 2012

The only thing that was planned really was shopping for my moms dress...which was a success! I'm so happy we found one as she hates dresses but I think it looks GREAT on her! I posted a thread with a pic on Saturday if anyone wants to check it out. I WANTED to book a honeymoon and FI keeps putting it off because he doesn't want to spend any money. I want to rent a secluded cabin and he wants to go to the comfort inn..really? For our honeymoon???

ericaandtom2012 · September 2012

I got my shower outfit figured out and sent the dress to the tailor (has to be taken in). I also bought some cute accessories for it, but I need to decide which necklace I want to wear. Yesterday I had my hair and makeup trials - makeup went really well but I didn't have time to get a picture until later and none of them were turning out due to poor lighting and me not using the setting spray for the makeup (I didn't want to be scrubbing my face for hours). The hair trial was a bit of a bust - we tried too many different things and by the time we got it right (the second time, I wanted it moved lower the first time she put it there) my hair was limp and uncooperative. I also scheduled with the hair stylist and MUA their arrival times day of the wedding.

I sent out TY notes for the few shower gifts that got shipped to our apartment instead of being brought to the party. I called the deacon at the church to schedule our meeting to pick out ceremony readings, but had to leave a message.

I should have started working on our table numbers and reserved the limo.

This week I will continue receiving RSVPs and making mental notes of potential table assignments, I will definitely do a mock-up of our table numbers, and we have our cake tasting on Saturday. The weekend will be shot because we won't be home that much - cake on Saturday (hour and half from home) and shower on Sunday. I'm sure we'll spend Sunday evening organizing shower gifts/finding a place to store them.

achiduck · September 2012

I was supposed to finish putting ribbon on my other 72 candles but due to my FSIL dress drama and even more frustrations with family bullsh!t I got nothing done.

pengy16 · September 2012

I have been out of the planning for the past two weeks because i broke my wrist, now that its healing and hopefully I can get back to work this week, I started to work on a few items. I contacted the caterer to get the final bill together, same with the cake baker. I have contacting every hair and makeup person I can find (its the task i was trying to work on when i broke my wrist so it got put on the back burner but now everyone is booked or sky high in price!). I had my Mary Kay pampering party (got it from a bridal show), and found out she will do day of makeup for a decent price, so i have the trial on Sunday, so i just need a person for my hair now. Also this upcoming weekend we have our engagement shoot, and we have to take FI family members (dad and bro) to get fitted for their tuxes or else it will cost us another $20 per tux. This week i need to contact the venue and caterer to set up the walk thru before the end of the month.

LDubHawksFan · September 2012

This weekend I had my second shower on Sat and it was really nice. We had family stuff after and a friend's bday yesterday, so I didn't really get anything else done. I finished the rest of the thank yous from last weekend's shower, so now I just need to do them for this shower....

This next week is quite busy, so I doubt much will get done wedding related until the weekend. FI is going away for his bachelor party in Ohio! I plan to work on our centerpieces and escort cards and updating a sign pointing people down to the ceremony and over the rec, while he's gone.

ETA: Also, my step dad made our wine box ceremony box this weekend and it looks great!!

insanityofamom · September 2012

I didn't get anything weddng related done. My to-do list is piling up. Yikes!

minionlover · September 2012

We got FI's suit this weekend. We also decided to have the guys wear suits too so we need to go back and get them. I sent in the final deposit for the photog this morning.

I need to get on our ceremony next.

kimm260 · September 2012

We picked out our songs and have a phone conference planned with the DJ tomorrow.
I also started to making packing lists for the wedding weekend and what things still need to get done for the big day.
