3. Finalize favor order ( How I would like them wrapped etc. )

4. Wrap RD gifts for BP.

5. Set up items for hall like sign in board, wedding picture frames, cake topper, cake cutter, gifts and favors.

6. Get Marriage License. ( going on Dec 7 )

7. Ask Readers (asked one, asking two more on Thanksgiving )

8. Tuxedos

9. Wedding Insurance ( if it is not too late )

10. Honeymoon (pack, book spa treatments, candle lit dinner)

11. Final fittings ( I have one on December 1 )
