What have you girls gotten accomplished yet and have left to do?

RH, Photo & Video, Florist, DJ, DOC, Table Numbers, DIY Aisle Runner, DIY Cake Letters, Invites, Programs, Menus, Dress, Shoes, BM Dresses, Booked Hair, Booked Make Up, Hotel Block, Booked Suite for Wedding Night, Booked HM, Favors, Favor Boxes, DOJ for ME =), Bought DOJ for girls.

Have to do
Order Cake Topper, Order Cake, Get HM Plane Tickets, Book RH Dinner, Buy HM Clothes, Grooms men gifts, parents gifts, E-Pics, All of the FUN FUN Stuff that comes with invites, tracking down RSVPs like its my JOB, and placecards, seating charts, etc :o)

What do you have left to do?

Well i am October 2009 & so far i have gotten:

We pretty much picked our DJ just have to confirm with him
Know them and decor color scheme


To Do:
Still ask 1 person in Bridal Party
Finish STD's and get them out
Find officiant
Find my dress
Book Hotel Blocks - but first decide if we are staying out or at home the night of
Decide on if we are doing brunch the next day

And the list goes on but the above is our current focus.

We will all get there - I think I was a little over zealous with getting everything done so quickly - I cant plan or meet with a vendor again until after Christmas.. I have serious demands with my school schedule on top of working full time... I can like my planning vicariously through all of you girls

I forgot I also got the wedding rings

Now I just have to figure out a way to pay for it all

First..I'm confused..there's an April 09 brides thread...FOR REAL??? LOL. Guess I'm waay behind in that aspect! LOL

I don't have as much done as you... money is always an issue...but we're getting everything on a roll now...

I have:
RH
BMs gifts
DIY totes for BM
Champange glasses
Advise bucket instead of guest book
Photo
Video
Veil
BM dresses picked out...ordering them this month
DIY Silk roses for candy and bird-seed tosser
Shoes for BMs
Frames for favor
decorations for frames
Supplis to make DIY runner...

I'm going to a florist any min. and hopefully BOOKING them...
My church changed their minds last min so I'm looking all over again...
My dress will be ordered THIS week...
Limos we have an idea already.... just need to confirm....
DJ / MC we need to get back to our hall...
Buying my shoes after the dress is ordered...
Invites we'll start next month...
RH I'm gonna have FH talk to his parents about..


I think that just about covers it...
FH is taking care of HM... hopefully next week we can go check out with TA

My sis has a good amount done so far:

RH
Church
Florist
Dress (not doing veil)
BM Dress
Photo (no video)
DJ
Transportation
Invites

I don't know what she still needs to do since I live so far away, but she is SO organized and on top of things so I'm sure she's got it all figured out!
