Hi I'm 9/24
I am waiting for my invitations to come so I can start stuffing them, I am looking for hair and makeup, and I am about to order a FG dress. I also started assembling/wrapping my favors. I am going to the city today to see if my wax wedding band lines up with my e-ring.
I am also ironing out some details for the ceremony music Don't even ask about this!

Have fun Julz! My question is: what is a wax wedding band?

When you are having a ring custom made they often make a wax version first to make sure that the measurements/fit/etc. is correct.

I too am waiting for my invites to come in; need hair and make-up. I got my FG dress in the mail today and I have to say that nsgraham's recommendation of the briar patch really came through. I have to call to make appointments for my and MOH's fittings. FH needs to arrange tuxes and transportation and RD location. We are trying to buy a house so we are putting off HM planning until we are in a house. Uggghhh... we need rings, favors and to start meeting with the pastor too.

I am ordering my invites this week. We totally waited too long because I couldn't find anything I liked. My mom ordered her gown today!! She got a beautiful cranberry colored Reem Acra gown. It has lots of beading and is A-line. Sunday I am meeting with the flower girl to buy her dress (hopefully). I also wrote my NY Times information. We are taking our engagement pics on Thursday. My shower is next Sunday.

I just bought the supplies last night to make my centerpieces....I'm making sunflower topiaries in terra cotta pots that match my favors (t.c. pots w/ wildflower seed).
I just finished the favors! Took me forever!

Next step is printing all the invites, meet with our officiant, and meet with the photographer. Other than that, we're pretty set until the week of when we'll be attempting to make all the food and buying all the beer,wine, etc, and everything else we couldn't do early! (This is a completely DIY wedding!)
My flowergirl dresses came in yesterday! They're so gorgeous!!!
Now I have to wait until August for my dress... But I've got all my accessories already, except my veil which is in the mail right now!

Woohoo! Only 104 days!

I am ordering invited this week from LA Productions (so behind on this one).

Hired Laura from LA productions to be my day of coordinator.

Need to get tuxes picked out

Found my bridal jewelry thanks to my MOH.

My first shower is next Sunday in PA.

Figuring out what to do and who to use for ceremony music.

What else???? Lot's more to do I'm sure

I got my envelopes back from the calligraphy and now I just need to put the invitation and the enclosers together and mail them out at the end of the month. Besides that, everything else is basically done. I am just waiting for the day to arrive.

Still in the process of finalizing the invite (which should have been done a long time ago!)

Ordering the fg dress

Trying to make petal cones??

And ordering favors.

It seems like I have a ton to do still!

Question:

What is your invite mailing date and your rsvp date?

I know this has probably been asked before but I couldn't find the post

Question:

What is your invite mailing date and your rsvp date?

I know this has probably been asked before but I couldn't find the post

Mail: 7/26/04
RSVP: 8/28/04
(Ordered them back in Feb - and are packed and ready for mailing)

I feel like I have a lot to do, but everything's basically until the last minute. Favors are half-way done. Everything is booked (church, reception transportation, flowers, photo/video, DJ, honeymoon) and paid for, except the reception hall (not paid in full until July). My dress has been ordered, and will have 1st fitting at the end of this month. BMs dresses have been ordered, and will have their 1st fitting in July. Girl's accessories need to be purchased/finalized. BMs gifts have to be purchased (finally decided what to get). Wedding bands picked out - I finalize the order on my ring tomorrow.

Still need tuxes for FH & his guys... but I refuse to push him... waiting for him to get off his lazy behind and take care of it himself... lol. We also still need a RD location.

I know I'm forgetting stuff, but overall, that's pretty much it. Too much 'down' time right now... lol.
