Bachlorette party Oct 12-14!!!

---

That is my bachlorette party too...where are you going? We are going to AC.....

I have no idea-they won't tell me...boo! They told me to pack a variety of clothes and I will know when we get there!

I still have to do:
menus
favor tags
make and put favors together
table numbers
card box
programs
pick music for ceremony and reception
BMs gifts
GMs gifts
take engagemant pics
meet with florist
meet with caterer
decide on cake
finalize all rentals- linens, tables, chairs, cutlery etc.- my venue doesn't provide anything except the actual building
purchase all alcohol
dress fittings if my dress ever comes in
and a million other small things

My dress still hasn't come in yet either and I am getting slightly nervous. I called them in August and they couldn't give me a date but said sometime in September. It seems like everyone is already starting on fittings!

just checking in...how's everything going ladies? Writing down my to-do list here really helps, so here goes:

We got our marriage license on Friday, I just picked up necklaces for my bridesmaids and I'm going for my first fitting this Sunday. The rehearsal dinner is booked for 11/15. I also dropped off our baptismal certificates at the church. I also gathered baby pictures of FH and I so I can make a guestbook on Shutterfly using those pics, I think it's gonna be so cute. Oh, and 4 out of the 5 BM dresses are in, one is from Virginia so hers was ordered separately

I still need to:
make menu and programs
finalize songs with DJ
mail deposit for limo
meet with church
find family pictures to display at RH
have final meeting at the Woodlands
hair trial/makeup trial
find day of earrings

What does everyone else have left/what have you accomplished recently?

I have my hair trial tomorrow
First fitting is the 20th
I have to print programs
Marriage license on Friday
Seating charts and the rest of my Watermill 'homework'
I have to book makeup-my hair person is giving me a name
Pay vendors
E-pics November 6
Bachlorette next weekend!!!!
Pick up my ketubah from the framers
FH's aufruf (getting called up during services) Nov 2
Find kitty care during HM
Finish booking HM...ugh

I have my second fitting this sat.
still need to meet with RH and other vendors to finalize the details
DIY project - ring pillows, programs, flower basket & cardbox
Need veil, shoes and hairpieces

I am sure there will be more..

I have been trying to tackle my huge list. We just got our marriage license yesterday and had our menu meeting at our hall last week. I still have quite a bit to do:

pick songs
pick readings
write vows
make and print programs
print menus
make table numbers
organize seating
call everyone who hasn't RSVP'd (deadline this Friday)
place cards
FH needs to get a vest (already owns tux)
make appointment to select flowers
finish centerpieces
get favors wrapped
pick up veil
fittings

I still don't have my dress in. It was supposed to arrive in June and I still can't get a straight answer from the place. I am beginning to get really worried.
