    @avolker1  Yes, I am making my own cupcakes.  I have made cakes and cupcakes for years.  I will make the cupcakes ahead of time and freeze them.  Then two days before will frost them.  Won't take too much time at all.  Plus, if I am freaking out and can't handle it, my bridesmaid also bakes and is already on stand-by :)

    - marriage license
    - cake signs to label the different flavors of wedding cake (we're having 10 different flavors of cake.)
    - reserved signs for immediate family's seats during the ceremony.
    - sign for the bridesmaids suite at the ceremony site
    - sign for the groom's room
    - decopage the bridemaids shoes with lace
    - make labels for the favors.
    - PROGRAMS (these have become the bane of my existence... and if I can't figure out how to do them, I'll probably just scratch the whole thing. Oh well!)
    - put labels on the water bottles
    - finish making signs labeling different favors. (fans for ceremony, matchboxes for reception...)
    - get metallic sharpies for the signature matte
    - make a final schedule for pre-wedding events 
    - hair trial
    - ask bridesmaids who wants what services for our salon day (I'm doing this instead of a luncheon.)
    - put together envelopes with any payments that will be given to vendors at the wedding.
    - figure out what to put the matchboxes into (vase? Basket? Box?)
    - finish bridesmaids gifts for two of the ladies (I've already bought each BM a different necklace, but I want to give them to them in some unique way that will have meaning to each. One of them loves bird houses and birds, so I got one of those little wooden birdhouses at the craft store, and painted it, and I'm going to put the necklace in it and give it to her that way. One of them loves tie die and I found a tie die beanie baby bear, so I'm going to put the necklace around it's neck and give it to her that way... I just have to figure out cute ways to give the last two girls their presents)
    - pack for the honey moon
    - pack for the day of the wedding (seriously... what do you bring? Phone charger is all that comes to mind...)
    - arrange for someone to bring the groom a surprise during the last few hours before the ceremony. (I would put what it is on here, but sometimes, FI likes to read our posts)
    - oh... and see if we can find a place to live.
