January Bride Check in!

Original post by ant n tilde

Here is my to do list - why does it get longer instead of shorter?

1. Call to make final appointments for: Church, Hall, Dj, Florist, Photographer, Limo.

2. Confirm other vendors like hair and makeup.

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 )

12. Set up and finalize RD and get invitiations.

Oooh, I'm excited for you!! Mine was supposed to be Wednesday, but their wholesaler didn't get what she needed in yet and we had to reschedule for next week. I am going for my 2nd fitting tomorrow, though, so I'm excited about that.

Re: January Bride Check in!

Thanks Jess!!

I had a VERY productive weekend:

1. Went to my fitting and decided not to wear the long line bra and instead just have VERY padded cups sewn in. One last fitting to go!

2. I called everyone who hadn't RSVP'd this morning. I still have a couple stragglers, but I should have the final guest list by Wednesday!

3. I bought shoes and had them dyed to go with my dress.

4. I bought a dress to wear to my bachelorette party on Dec. 29.

5. Ordered favors.

I still need to:

1. Make placecards/Seating chart

2. Confirm all vendors

3.Frame engagement picture for signing frame

4. Pack for honeymoon early

5. Book massages on honeymoon
