- Hotel Room Block for guests
- Suite for 1st night as husband and wife
- Set up address file for all invitations
- You have mail out invitations ... but did you choose them, order them, stuff them, weight them, stamp them and address them? Just trying to make sure you have everything! LOL
- Passports / Visas
- Two weeks before: dye hair / highlights if you get them
- Week of appointments: Hair Trim, Nails, Wax
- Day of appointments: Hair & Makeup

That's just some more ...

I'm just going through my list and trying to give you things I have on there that you may have missed


Please don't tell me you have all the addresses down already! I'll scream!!! All mine are in and I'm trying to get FH to step up to the plate

- Bridal Undergarments / Shoes / Veil / Tiara
- Bridal Jewelry
- Wedding Bands
- Must have Photos list
- Must Plat / Do Not Play DJ list (start this now - it's HARD to rememebr things on command!)
Do you have - Something Old, something new, something borrowed, something blue?
Oh for invites: make sure you # them when they go out and # your guest list so that you can keep track in case someone forgets to write in their name ...

I have all the dates in a database because we sent everyone a STD. So, that list hasn't changed much. I only added three more couples.
All the other stuff you mentioned I have done.
