Holy April!

Holy April!

I just realized that in April I have to:

go to 3 bridal shows (LIW, Hitched on house & Great Bridal @ hotel indigo)

Find a hotel block (hopefully) so I can include on STDs

Get engagement pix taken

Make (online) and print STDs AND Guest book

Have our engagement party (and help out w/ some stuff)

Also, have some work on my house (ie NWR) but it calls for a lot of cleaning / moving stuff

Take a deep breath and re-evaluate? Either tick off things one by one or consider if they are absolutely necessary.

I know I for one - Have written off Bridal shows. I've already got an RH, a DJ in mind (we've limited it down to one of two) and a Photographer. That's half the crowd. Plus we're doing our own favors.

Also - how early are you sending out save the dates, even if 1 year in advance (pretty far in advance) - you have about 6 months before then.

Just some thoughts ... but I'm a procrastinator :)

yes we are using them for the guest book. We had thought of a few ideas (a 'tree', the fingerprint tree, the puzzle idea) but once i got the groupon for a book, the $ factor firmed it up!
