Sunday I have a hair trial - I ordered a veil online and hopefully it will be here in time for the trial - I also have my two Thomas Knoell pieces that I am bringing with me....
After that I only have 6 weekends left
I still want to do a final make up trial with M-I-A
We have to book limos and a shuttle (depending on how many hotel guests we have)
I have to finish up HM shopping
I have to do table numbers - maybe next weekend
We have to see a sample centerpiece and have our final meeting with the florist
We have to meet with JT
FH has to get his tux or suit and pick out the groomsmens tuxes
In the middle of November my reception dress is supposed to come in - I'll need fittings for that too
We have to finalize our ceremony and get a unity candle
I need to find comfy shoes - white flip flops I guess
I got to get the bridesmaid gifs - we may head to the Coach outlet after my hair trial since we'll already be out in LI
We have to pick our ceremony music and music for the reception
Boxes for the hotel guests (once we find out how many are staying)
I think I got a lot of the major things out of the way - but I'm probably forgetting stuff.....I can't even remember because we have so many vendors and so many things to do

nicole- i would book limo's soon, well thats if you want a particular limo so this way hopefully its not booked for another event.
Also tuxes get taken care of soon bc your fh and the rest of the guys should give in their measurements around 2 weeks before the latest, and its almost november and guys can take a long time to do this and delay the process for some reason
FH might be buying a 3 piece suit, if not he is buying his tux - he isnt renting anything....and the groomsmen are buying their tuxes as well - they all do side jobs with DJ companies so they need new tuxes anyway.....FH saw a 3 piece suit that he loves - its like 1K or so but at least he can wear it again and he can have alterations so that it fits him perfectly.....i think he'll actually look more sexy in the suit then in a tuxedo - but im still not sure what he is going to do.....i cant believe how close its getting....im going to tell him that he really needs to start getting a move on things though - just because he is worse than i am with procrastinating!!!! and im BAD!!
yeah you still want him to get it sometime soon bc i am sure he is going to want it to be a certain way and sometimes suits can be easy to find but depending on what you want, you might have to look a bit. PLUS many times even for a suit you have to do alterations. Dh has done alterations on ALOT of his suits to get the perfect fit.

thats another thing! the marriage license....i forgot about that.....we can go anytime since we are under 60 days - we'll probably do it sometime in november....
yet another thing you reminded me that i forgot to put on my list. I think FH and I will go the day after Thanksgiving.
you think they are open that day? i wanted to go that day so we didnt have to be late for work or take off....but its the week before the wedding, not sure i want to wait that long i guess i can call and see if they are open that day
if you order a dress label let me know - i kind of wanted one and never ordered one
I checked online and they didn't list the day after Thanksgiving as a holiday, but I'm going to call to make sure.
Here is the link to their holiday's as listed online : Holiday link
I'll keep you posted on the dress label

yeah FH always get his suits altered too - im not worried, he buys them a lot so im pretty sure he will be fine with time, its not like he never got one before ....he actually knows the suit he wants, i wasnt with him when he saw it though, im sure its nice, i just dont know if it will look silly that he is in a suit and everyone else is wearing tuxedos - he said nobody will notice - he just doesnt really care for tuxedos so thats why he rather get a suit.....he just has to make up his mind if that is what he wants.....but i DEF have to tell him to tell his groomsmen to get a move on things and he has to figure out what tux they are all getting and go with them so its done.....oye! or watch they are going to all end up in suits hahahaha

Re: December Brides
Wow, You are really making me realize what I have left
- Figure out which favors we are getting and order them - Hopefully get more RSVP's so we can meet our min and figure out table arrangements - Pick up my veil and tiara ( should be ready Nov 6th) - Go have first dress fitting in November (11/15) - Call about when the katubah is coming in - Order programs and placecards - Figure out if I want a custom made guestbook or buy one - Hopefully pick up my shoes ( they are 3 weeks behind schedule. Have been on order forever) - Get our marriage license - Figure out what we are doing regarding OOT guests and bags -Figure out parent gifts and purchase them -Meet with RH to discuss the cake -Call the florist to see if I need a final meeting -Try to stay sane until the 'big day'
That's all I can think of for now.
