Re: Okay Ladies, I think it's time for another count down!

25 Days!

1. Plan reception: place cards, place card holders, seating arrangements, etc. (Some of this is done already).

2. Select and order wedding cake (It's an ice cream cake from Carvel, so it's just a matter of assembly at this point - I have to buy Wilton three tier floating cake stand from Michael's).

3. Prepare OOT welcome baskets

4. Put together slipper baskets

5. Finish ring bearer pillow, unity candle, centerpieces.

6. Speak to florist about personal flowers.

7. Purchase or make ceremony programs (My friend Susan has graciously offered to do these for me!)

9. Attend gown fittings (I attended a few of these already)

10. Break in wedding day shoes

11. Obtain Marriage License (TODAY!!)

12. Shop & pack for Honeymoon (we have to figure out where we're going).

13. Set aside time to write thank you notes for shower gifts (I HAVE, HAVE, HAVE to do this!)

14. Prepare Day-of Timeline and give a copy to each vendor along with copies of must-take photo lists, etc

15. Send out wedding announcements to local paper

16. Confirm all final payments, schedule, pick up times, head count, etc with all vendors

17. Confirm HM reservations and travel arrangements

18. Create a “wedding box” to gather ceremony accessories (marriage license,
candles, ring pillow, basket, guest book) a
nd assign someone to transport.

19. Prepare a “reception box” for accessories such as guest books, cameras, toasting
goblets, cake toppers, etc., and assign someone to transport

21. Prepare any speeches or toasts

22. Place tips for each vendor in envelopes
