I copied most of these from Chichila.

-Prepare Day-Of Timeline and give a copy to each vendor along with copies of must-take photos, song selections, pickup/drop-off locations, etc.
-Setup appt with DJ - song selections, special announcements & giveaways.
-Setup appt with Photographer
-Call guests who haven't RSVP'd.
-Get marriage license - going on 9/7.
-Finish shopping and pack for honeymoon.
-Confirm honeymoon travel arrangements.
-Prepare tip envelopes.
-Finish up making the favors.
-Seating Chart
-Final fitting.
-Pick up rings.
-Buy remaining BP/parent gifts.

So much more, but I just can't think of it right now.

So scary to be able to say that we are getting married a month from now.



ETA: Sorry, Chichila, I totally butchered your name. Call it Bride Brain.

That is what I have been thinking. I remember when I had 902 days left. Now I only have 31 days left.

Today, I just finish printing my seating cards. Today, I am going to put as many as I can into the frames and make more menus too.
