For May 05 brides, what do you still need?

Original post by kbeana24

I want to see how 'on track' I am. I have the church, recep hall, my dress, have looked at invits, and have ideas on favors. Is there anything I should be doing RIGHT NOW that Im not??
(the food and cake are supplied by my recep hall)

I also have the Photog, Videog & Band

Edited to say All the BM dresses are in, and save the date cards are out

We finished our Precana weekend

Ed: We booked our florist!!!
After looking at 3 different ones, we found one that was in the middle price-wise, we loved their designs and they made a GREAT impression on us!! (When they had coffee ready for our sat AM meeting- I was sold)

I think you're doing fine, although I would get the STDs out soon. Getting the addresses together can be a pain.

I picked out invites, but need to order them.
And bought a veil. STDs are out and done. Address list made.

One big thing ahead is finalizing the menu, which needs to be done soon. I feel like I've slowed down so much and don't seem as motivated as I used to be. But maybe that natural.
