Re: June/July Brides CHECK IN!

Okay, our invitations arrived on Saturday so now we have to send them out to the calligrapher. But before we can do that, we finish inserting the guestlist in the calligrphers Excel sheet.

I had a very productive 5 days in NY! I got my tiara, my shoes, ribbons for my invitations, and selected the flowergirl dress. I still have to get them ordered though. Oh yeah, I had a make-up trial and I booked her to do my hair and makeup. So I still have:

Getting thing dones slowly but surely! Gosh, I feel so behind.

New list:
Order FG dresses
Buy veil
Buy undergarments
Confirm Rhearsal Dinner
Decide if we're doing a Day after brunch
Buy Parents gifts
Buy my jewlery
Select BM shoes
Make programs
Make menus
Tidy up room at home for pictures (My FH painted the room!)
Confirm all vendors
Get votive candles,etc for votive placecards
Do playlist for DJ
Get cake boxes for favors
RINGS
Book Hotel for the night of
cake cutter set
do REGISTRY (started that in NY, I have to finish that)

Check in ladies!

Actually, I just peeked at your last list and realized I left off the registry and wedding bands. The registry seems like a lot of fun though, so I'm not stressed about it at all!

Hey Twin. I'm sending out my invites to the calligrapher hopefully by Thursday. Hopefully, I can get the envelopes back in a week and we want to send them out no later than April 25.
My official RSVP date is May 15, but I printed about 25 RSVP cards with June 1 dates.

Mine has been in for months... but when did you order yours? You could always call the salon to have them check on the status from the designer.
