Is anyone else bored? I feel like I have done everything..

I can at this point until later this summer. I have nothing to research anymore

What else can I start doing? I have already:

Sent my envelopes to the calligrapher
Started my Do Not Play List
Started getting info for my programs
Ordered the votive holders for the place cards
I know what I am doing to favors - just need to order them
Ordered my RD Invites
Started my must take photo list

I must be forgetting something!!

Are you doing the menus or is that being taken care of by your hall?

I am so glad to see I am not the only one who did everything far in advance! I feel like I have nothing to do now!!! I know that there is still so much, but it can't be done till later! Ahhh, I feel your pain

I have thought about them, but haven't done anything yet. That's a cute idea to use LI companies. What kind of stuff are you putting in them?

I know what you mean...I feel like I WANT to do stuff now - as work is going to be bad for me come Aug and Sept - but I feel like I have most stuff taken care of at this point that I can. Alot of other stuff I can't do until later in the summer. I will be a crazy woman during August and September.

I know - I think September is going to be a stinker!! My goal was to get stuff done early so I didn't have to spend the weekends during the summer doing stuff so I can go to the beach.

so far, a bottle of snapple (easy) i think they're from l.i.? and my sis came up with putting l.i. postcards, tho' i don't know exactly where i'd get them from... as you can see, i have a lot of work to do in this dept.

okay, i think snapple's headquarters are in white plains, actually...

back to the drawing board... this is going to be harder than it looks

*finish hemming my fg gowns
*do menus
*put final decorations on favors
*make fg shirts (rhinestones)
*make OOT bags
TOO MUCH TO LIST (really, i just forgot right now!!)

OK, I AM GETTING TO WORK! THANKS FOR THE INSPIRATION!

I had the same problem about 2 months ago. Everything was booked/ordered and there was nothing much to do.

My advice -- enjoy this time. Contact old friends who you won't see when you get sucked into the wedding.

The other thing you might consider - is starting dance lessons early. We are taking 10, and I doubt that is enough.
