Re: To-Do's; What's left on your list?
We still need:
That should be everything left on the list! We just got our marriage license last week.
To Do:
Recently completed:
I forgot to add this one to the TO DO:
We are mostly done. We need to:
-Finalize booze (doing that tomorrow)
-Get our marriage license (will do in a couple of weeks)
-Bach/bachelorette parties (we aren't doing anything for these but I am excited nonetheless!)
-Finish WP gifts
-Final hair/makeup consultation
That's it! Guess we are doing way better than I thought or I have just forgotten everything.
Ugh this SO me right now! I don't know how I'm going to get through the next 5 weeks!
I'm sure there are so many things I'm not thinking of right now.
- Finish parent gifts. We just got the cutting boards back from the laser engraver. I still need to do a final sand, and then add cutting board finish and screw on the wrought iron handles I bought for them and then wrap them up!
- Stick custom water bottle labels on water bottles for the welcome bags and the RD.
- Finish tying ribbon to the bubble wands for our grand exit.
- Final dress fitting in October.
- Hair and make-up retrial tomorrow.
- Make final payments to our ceremony musicians, DJ, venue, caterer, favor designer, and hair salon
- Final numbers due October 3rd.
- Buy beer and hard liquor for the RD. We already have three cases of wine yay!
- Finalize rehearsal dinner attendees.
- I don't even know anymore...
EDIT: Oh yeah! We were going to get our marriage license today but FI can't get away from work so we're planning to go on Tuesday when I work from home again.
