dont be worried you'll be fine

tuxes and hair and make up i would look into getting done soon...tell your FH to go maybe this week, usually by 2 weeks before the wedding the guys need to order their tuxes.

After that what you have really isnt bad at all. Photographer, DJ, and officiant will all contact you 2 weeks or less before the wedding and set up appointments.

The only physical things you have after that are finishing the favors, fg shoes, seating chart & placecards...a month is more than enough time to do it. You can do 1 think a week and it will get done.

marriage license, ask your fh when he is free to get it done.

Re: August Brides!!!

things i have left:

- did layout for our menu/program/placecards but they still need to be printed and put together
- finish bridal party gifts
- waiting for napkins, yarmulkes and ketubah to come in the mail
- everyone needs their last fitting
- dye my shoes
- write our vows
- buy a RD dress
- decide if we are doing toasting flutes/cake cutter
- table numbers
- petal cones, if we decide to do them
- finish decorating cardbox (already put together and covered in fabric)
- possibly make decoupage sign in book
- fill up our OOT baskets (baskets and wrap already purchased)
- 8 days till our rsvp deadline, do table arrangements

i got a ton done while i was home in NY (4 fittings, 2 meetings w/ florist incl. sample centerpieces, finalized music choices, bach party, shower, ordered TYs, menu selection, took care of a lot of stuff) so the rest of this stuff is doable, its just hard since i'm 1000 miles away until the week before the wedding
