September 2012 Weddings

Weekly Checks!

What did you ladies get done last week? What's on the agenda for next week? We are getting close now- I think I'm at 102 days to go.

THIS PAST WEEK
I didn't do anything! I'm in such a planning lull right now. I know I need to address my invites, but they haven't arrived yet. Boooo. I don't think I"ll have them until about mid June.

THIS UPCOMING WEEK
-My BMs + Mom threw me a shower yesterday! It was fantastic and I got so much good stuff. I guess I need to get started on the thank yous! (I find a place for all this stuff lol)
-talk to my Mom about booking a limo
-talk to my FILs about the rehersal dinner

That's about it!

  • My only check last week I didn't even do!  My mom took the rest of my unassembled invitations to her friends house when she went over (the men wanted to watch the Heat game) and they  finished assembling them for me.  I am so grateful though because it was a huge relief.  I did crank out my psychology paper in less than 2 hours over the weekend though.  Until that class is over on the 16th I think I'm just not going to get anything done...frustrating but have more immediate demands :-/
  • Last week:

    -finalized cake design
    -sent deposit and contract for videographer
    -bought wedding shoes (times 2, wearing platform-ish bridal flops later in the night)
    -bought wedding earrings

    This week:

    -finalize tasting menu for reception meeting next week
    -perhaps pick FI tux

    THIS WEEK:Revise my menu template (cootie catcher) to reflect the new menu choicesDesign thank you note for the favours tagGo for my fitting (Saturday)Work on Thank You notes for my bridal shower last weekend
    NWR:Print off my son's birthday party invitations (they have to go out before school is out seeing as he was a summer baby :P)SELL THE HOUSE lol
