Ok, FI and I decided to take a last minute trip to NY for a few days and would like to use this time to get wedding stuff done. Can you help me figure out what needs to be done when I am home? (I may not be home again until 1 month before the wedding)

Your undergarments? Look for Favors? Look at hotel for OOT guests?
Looks you guys have most it pretty much covered..
I am also an OOT bride, personally, I have done the undergarment and favor thing at home(In NY) and other things so i wouldn't transport them to NY. I have a ton of stuff at my moms house..

Wow Lea! How did you get everything done already? You are making me feel bad! Did you guys pick where you are going to stay as your first night as Mr & Mrs?

I am planning from OOT also....I would say that you need to finalize limos and look at hotels for OOT guests if you havent all ready.
Call ahead and make some appointments so that you can organize your trip. Since you say you won't go back until a month before the wedding...is your dress in yet? If so maybe you can squeeze in a fitting.
Stuff like favors, undergarments, etc... can be done where you live.

I thought about that, but I am broke at the moment.
And yes, Bridget, I have a lot done - but I have been lazy lately I am thinking about the Inn at Fox Hollow for FI and I - thats where I blocked rooms for OOT guests. Where are you staying?

We're staying at the Inn at Fox Hollow. We blocked rooms at the Fairfield and Fox Hollow so our guests could have a choice (such a big difference in prices!). The rooms at the Fox Hollow are great and I had a friend stay there for her wedding night and she loved it! We still need to do limos. My FH checked out Retro limos from this sight and liked this 1956 Cadillac - so he is now ion charge of booking our limos. One less thing for me to worry about! When do you plan to order your invites?

haha, I put FH in charge of limos too. hopefully, we will find something this week. and I also booked at the fairfield and the fox hollow. im almost positive fox hollow is where FH and I will stay.
as for invites, i ordered them a month ago from an online vendor. i havent started designing the proofs yet tho - i think we will prolly work on that this month. i told her i wanted them all by August.

I would recommend All Star Limo. They are located in Farmingdale on RT 109. You might want to make an appt while you are in town to meet with Debby the wedding cordnator for limos. There # is 1-800-Limo-Now
What about the guys Tuxedo's ? Have you selected a place to rent them?
Maybe pick out your Menu for the reception with you catering hall.

We have to meet with the priest, but you already have that covered too! I think you are going to have it really easy for the next few months! You got everything done! You should be proud of yourself. You should be able to enjoy your NTY trip w/o so much craziness as the last time.
