Mail RD Invites
Get Shoes

Re: Can we do a Sept Check-In?

I am in a very similar position to you.

Stuff, and send out invitations.
I have all the stamps and everything else, though I need to print out the direction insert.

Assemble favors (July)

Dress fittings - 3 (Starting in mid-July) RK Bridal starts 8 weeks prior.

Hair Trial (This month)

Arrange pre-wedding, post wedding travel. (We don’t have car, so we’ll need to have a service pick us up.)

Buy gifts for bridesmaids and groomsmen.

Submit wedding announcement to newspaper – at least 6 weeks prior to wedding.

Order blank programs, print and assemble.

Get marriage license. (August)

Work on a list of 'must-play' (and 'must-not play') songs for DJ.

Confirm wedding-night and honeymoon reservations.

Work out wedding day timing and details and draw up a schedule. (Started one, will revise when I know more). Send out to parents and bridal party.

Start planning the rehearsal & book rehearsal-dinner site.

Attend Shower (at Grandma’s house)
Write thank you notes after Shower (mid-July)

To be done 1 week prior:
Confirm head count, delivery time, and location with the cake maker, florists, and reception location. Confirm location, date, and time with photographer.
Review seating and other needs with ceremony site. (Not a temple/church, and we want an unusual seating arrangement).
Finalize seating assignments and make place cards.

Inkspun has been great. The invites are beautiful. It took about a week, which is longer than most girls -- but I had the time so it didn't really matter.

Re: Can we do a Sept Check-In?

You know I looked at my calandar and I won't really have much to do in July. There are so many things that can only be done later (liscence).

Dare I say ... I might be a bit board?
