Do not stress November 08 bride! Everything will come together. Just start working on your guest list. That will help you place your order for invitations and favors. I suggest that you check the reviews on this site for suggestions on hair and make-up artist. Good luck!

Things left:
Hair/makeup trial (any Suggestions would be great-- went for one and hated the makeup and hair the biggest waste of 120 dollars!!!)
Favors
Menus/Programs
Tuxes
GM gifts
Parent gifts
OOT bags
Final Menu
Invitations
Guest List (we still dont have one)
All Music
Head piece/DOJ
* not going on Honeymoon till spring break*

If you have your veil and you have some idea of what you want to do with your hair, you should look into getting your headpiece & DOJ before the summer is over. You should look at what's available at Barrons at Tri-County mall for the ehadpiece.

Parent & GM gifts you should definitely get done before September.

Finalize your guest list...that way you can order your invites (don't forget to order 20-25 extra just in case), and also figure out how many favors you'll need.

Programs, OOT bags & menus can also be done ahead of time. If you're not sure about the final menu or the ceremony order yet, you can at least play around with different styles & formats and then fill in the gaps when the info is available.

My FH will begin looking into tuxes soon...have your FH (or you) start looking into it, too.

Any help with what can be done now or what Im missing would be GREATLY GREATLY appreciated. I feel a little overwhelmed

Things Done:

RH
Florist (need to do sample centerpiece)
My dress

Officiant
DJ
Invitations (waiting for a proof before I order them)
Placecard holders (nothing filled out yet)
MOB dress

Blocked hotel rooms
Shoes
Veil

Things left:
