April Brides- just checking in

Hi,
I just wanted to see what you were all up to. Here is my list: I have my hall, my dress is ordered, (still in the process on getting my BM's measured so they can order), DJ, Photo, Video, Honeymoon is booked, Florist and I blocked hotel rooms...
Still Need: an officiant, favors, invites, Bridal party gifts, headpiece, veil, shoes etc...
Am I doing ok? Are we all in the same place? Just want to be sure I am keeping up with everything.
Thanks girls! Happy planning.
-Christy

Hi everyone!
Here's where I'm at: I have the church, hall, DJ, video, photographer, ordered my dress(also bought shoes since I needed them for the dress fitting)and headpiece and picked out bridesmaid dresses but haven't ordered them yet. I just ordered the CD cases for our favors but haven't received them yet. Also, I just ordered save the date magnets to be sent out in the next month or two and we found table cameras on ebay and they just arrived today. Also on ebay we got our cake topper, toasting glasses and guest sign in book. We picked out our invitations but haven't ordered yet. We're going to several limo places in the next week and hopefully will have the limo booked by next week.
Everything else needs to be done yet. Hope this helps!

Re: April Brides- just checking in

You both seem right on track to me! I have the hall, church, photographer, video, Dj, florist, limos, my dress is ordered, got headpiece but need veil, BM dresses ordered, BM presents are done, got cake topper, table cameras, cake set, unity candle, ordered guest platter, favors are done and wrapped, place card holders are done, table name holders are done, going to order invites, block hotels, finish registering Sept 7th. I know there are a lot of things still to do but I am getting there! Keep me updated so I can stay on track

Re: April Brides- just checking in

Alright gurls, I have church booked, reception booked, dj, photographer, videographer, ordered dress, bought shoes, booked honeymoon, about to book limo, sat down with the florist we are using, ordered favors and am putting them together, WHAT ELSE?? :) As for all the little stuff... well I still have stuff to do! :)

Re: April Brides- just checking in

It seems like we are all in just about the same place. This is what I've got done so far:
church
pre-cana completed
reception hall
caterer
music for the ceremony
music for the cocktail hour
DJ
my dress, headpiece, and veils
my shoes
photographer
engagement photos taken
florist
guestbook
easels for table numbers/menus
fireplace decoration purchased
MOB dress picked out
BM dresses will be ordered once the girls are measured (but 2/3 are in other states!)
BM gifts will be purchased next paycheck
Next week we hope to book limos and start the invite search. Hopefully we we also go to contract on the townhouse we have a sales agreement on! Happy planning to all!

Re: April Brides- just checking in

Re: April Brides- just checking in

April will approach faster than we think! I cant believe school is starting next week! Where does the time go? Anyway it sounds like you are all doing a great job. How did you decide on headpieces and veils already? Did you have a hairstyle in mind first?

Re: April Brides- just checking in

I have an idea of how I want my hair, I just hope it will be long enough for the style I want. I cut it very short last January and it is not growing as quickly as I would have expected!

Re: April Brides- just checking in

I would like to wear my hair 1/2 up and i have a tiarra...i am going for a trial in october for both my make up and hair.....
