Re: October Girls Update

I need to get started on the invitations. I would like to call the woman we used for the engagement announcements/STD today if I have a chance or definitely on Monday to meet with her soon. Also I would like to make an appointment to meet with the officiant. I am definitely going to work on this next week. Otherwise I feel on track with everything else.

Re: October Girls Update

I know I have to work on the guest list and table arrangements soon. Probably in the next 2 or 3 weeks for the guest list and a month or two for table arrangements.

Re: October Girls Update

We know we want to use table names instead of numbers and how we want to do them. We just have to do them. As far as the programs and menus, no clue. I am starting to think I may not do menus (I think WCC does them) to save me some stress. I am going to grad school most of the summer on top of working like a mad woman so the less to do at this point, I think the better. We'll see.

Re: October Girls Update

i have all the little things left to do...programs, tables gift tags for favors...

we need to white was terracotta pots for our centerpieces...lots of little things that i am not even thinking of.

my fi is taking care of the programs and stuff like that...i just don't have the time with work and graduate school right now...he has been wonderful...i'm pretty lucky in that respect...he has also been doing tons of stuff trying to find a house for us...

my dress came in, the girls dresses came, we picked up the invitations and my veil...i just need to order my shoes...

Re: October Girls Update

I have to get shoes and my veil. And mostly all the little things. I WILL order favors next week and mail them to NY so hopefully FSIL can start wrapping them as long as FMIL approves of them and doesn't snarl at me or FH. FH is going to order invitations soon, I am so mean to him he's been home all of 27 hours and I have asked him 3 times already when he was going to go. His sister is doing the envelopes and she is a slacker so I want her to have enough time. My dress is in, but have I mentioned that MOH still hasn't ordered hers, Gave her the ultimatum thinking she is probably pissed at me and isn't going to respond, obviously I may have made a poor decision

Re: October Girls Update

Too much!
Invites (doing tomorrow)
Limos
Hair/Makeup
Favors
Rehearsal dinner
Tuxes

Am meeting with a DJ on Sunday and a florist on Wednesday (or else I would REALLY be behind!) :)

Re: October Girls Update

Too Much!

invites
favors
hair stylist (going through different trials now)
menu
jewelry
undergarments
tuxes
shoes
rehearsal dinner

Luckily, I will most likely be ordering my invites this Monday. Everything else is up in the air, because it is next to impossible to get me, my fiance, and my family together at the same time.

Re: October Girls Update

actually not too much -
we're changing our flowers again -
and we need to finalize the cake sketches with the hall - but mostly we are in good shape right on target -
still need to get the bm dresses all together - they are being custom done so only 3 are in so far -
same with the groomsmen only one of those in as of today.
and my dress in currently in production - i should have the rough fitting by the 15th - hmmm
we wrapped favors the other night so that is done -
have the limo and hall and all that stuff -
i am sure there is stuff i cant remember right now - but all in all think we are doing ok

Re: October Girls Update

My dress isn't here yet, and I am not sure I will stick with it, so maybe there will be more dress hunting

Jewelry

Shoes

Programs

Invitations are being printed but they are not ready yet

Readers/readings

Wedding bands

Music for the ceremony

Tuxedos

Bags for the favors

Re: October Girls Update

And more! Limos, rehearsal dinner, undergarments. UGH!

Re: October Girls Update

Besides finishing for paying for so many things.. Wrap my favors, waiting for invitations to be shipped, waiting for wedding dress to come in, waiting for bm dresses to come in, have to go pick out tuxedos...
A million things still.

Re: October Girls Update

I have lots of little things too... and some big ones:

Rings
Invitations
Wedding Night Hotel room (that's FH's job so that'll NEVER get done unless I do it!)
Favors

Those are the biggies...

I need shoes, tiara, bra/corset or whatever (my dress is not in yet either and I am also having minor doubts)

Table names, ceremony programs & menus, making the ribbon wands, votive place cards, BP gifts... and probably lots more I'm not remembering right now!!

I feel like I've been slacking for a long time and I need to really pick up the pace now otherwise I will feel completely overwhelmed come September!!

Re: October Girls Update

need to book limo, hair/makeup, slip/undergarments..having veil custom made this coming weekend...have to still do tuxes, make cd for the favors, finish cry packs, finish ribbon wands, think abouyt programs, decide on invitations, but gifts for attendants, m y jewelry...flight for the honeymoon

Re: October Girls Update

We had a good weekend- we ordered our invitations and booked our DJ (Music by Michael, we were super impressed!).

Hopefully by the end of the week we will have the florist and limos. I still need jewelry and undergarments, and we have to do tuxes, favors, all my DIY projects (I am making ribbon wands too!)

Re: October Girls Update

I did a lot early so I'm searching for an apartment, making programs, finalizing invite list. I actually made my seating chart before finding out if anyone's coming (FH thinks I'm crazy) but I'm having fun with it. Still have to get BM and GM gifts! I went for my hair and makeup trial the other day, needless to say I have to find someone else for my makeup....not happy about it but it's all coming together though.

Re: October Girls Update

Well, I got the call this weekend that my invitations are IN. That was exciting. Just have to go pick them up.

The big stuff that I'm working on are the rings and the honeymoon.

I've already looked around at rings so its just a matter of making the final decision.

And we know that we want to go on a Mediterranean cruise. I've looked on the internet a lot so I know when they different lines have their October Cruises. We're in the process of pricing them with a travel agent now to see which way we'll do better.

I'm also working on some little stuff on my own. I've been working on cry packs. And thinking a lot about the programs. (My sister is going to help me design )

My dress isn't in yet either. But I'm not expecting it until July. The BM and FG dresses are already in. And my mother found her dress and it's on order.

So much to do...so little time.

Re: October Girls Update

I finally have most of the big stuff done--booked my photographer yesterday, so that's a huge relief.

Now I'm on to invitations, but FH wants us to make our own. That should be an adventure!

We got my wedding ring, he's trying to decide on his. Then I'm still looking for a FG dress and I have to figure out what FH and the guys should wear, color-wise. Oh, and we're doing our own centerpieces with feathers. So I'm constantly working on the prototype.

Need to plan a trip back to NY (I'm planning from Cali) in August so I can check in on all my vendors!
