Re: August Brides..

i am mailing out invitations tomorrow at the 3 month mark (and weather should be good)

i am finishing up shower thank yous

had my first fitting yesterday (had to start earlier because i wont be in ny during july)

2 BMs have had their first fitting

plan to finalize ketubah details and order this weekend

need to start putting together and wrapping our favors, which will take a loooong time

there have been some... revisions... to the bridal party which will hopefully be complete by the end of the weekend, and then we can print our programs and start assembling them..

i'd say once invites go out, favors will probably be my focus. that, ordering the ketubah, and firming up hair/makeup people for my bridesmaids.

Re: August Brides..

I'm picking up my invites tomorrow and hopefully sending them out the 1st week of June.
Besides invites the next thing on the list is to pick out my veil and headpiece, GM tuxes, wedding bands, GM gifts, parent gifts and favors. Plus a ton of small little stuff...ie menus, programs, petal cones (all DIY) that I have not remotely started yet.

So much to do and time is just flying!!!
