thanks, your list hits the spot, do you feel overwhelmed yet???? I do, i am considering hiring a DOC but we are on a tight budget....

no problem. Well, if you had seen my list a couple mths ago, you wouldve freaked bc this is nothing in comparison. I feel like I pretty much have it under control at this pt, being that all the big vendors are booked and everything. Its thinking of final payments thats making me feel !!!! Im trying to keep calm and feeling pretty good about it at the moment. Hoping it lasts!

Dont stress too much. I know it seems soooo overwhelming sometimes but you really will get it all done!!! Dont resort to DOC just yet. Esp if its not in the budget or youll end up regreting it. Just set time aside on your calender each week to knock out things on your to do list. Youll be fine!

Thanks for your words. Where are the rest of the AUGUST GIRLS????

August girl here!

I have plenty to do and yet it doesn't seem like it....

I can understand!!!! Where are you in the process

I have way too much too do....

I actually have to try & attempt to make a list at this point. I have been in a rut lately, but i just got the call yesterday that my dress is in, so that is putting the fire back in my a**!!

Plus I did not lose any of the weight i wanted to lose, actually i think a gained about 5 lbs. But hopefully i'll still be able to lose at least 15-20lbs before the big day...

Thinking about this just freaks me out!!

let's see....

DIY - pennants, menus, programs, photo cube, unity candle
Favors- get mugs screen printed, fill with peanuts
finish table numbers/placecards
shop for/order tuxes
finish church paperwork and have final meeting with Deacon
finalize flowers (sometime this month!)
finalize cake (next weekend!)
alterations on all dresses (of course)
get more HM clothes
order GM gifts
final meeting with DJ, photo/video
final hair trial
OOT boxes
order shuttle for OOT guests
gifts for readers and my brothers in law walking me down the aisle
seating chart
day of timeline
finalize must take pic list for Duet


I think that's it but the list seems smaller than I remember!
