January Brides

Is anyone else starting to freak out a little bit? I still feel like I have SO much to do when I look at my check lists on the knot and wedding wire. I'm starting my invitation addressing and hopefully FH and I can go look at wedding bands this weekend. I want to get as much done as possible before the holidays roll around.

How are you girls doing with your checks?

I am sooo behind I know it.. Stil two major vendors to book.. not including limos.. Plus I want to start ordering my BM gifts slow.. I did just order my first round of invites and return address labels to make sure they came out good!! AND I cleared a DIY project.. I hired my florist to do my cnterpieces so it is one less worry.

I know it said January Brides. BUT I wanted to help you feel better :)

Omg I can't stop trying to figure out what I pushed aside and said it was too early to do! I'm getting a little bridezilla waiting for our invitations...our estimated date of completion says the 2nd week of October and I haven't gotten a proof yet. I told them I wanted to send them out early so they don't get mixed in with holiday mail.

Other than that, I'm just super forgetful and have awful bride brain!

LadyReeRee- omg YESSSSS! I am freaking! First off- you are a week past me and I did not even get my invitations yet! (They are supposed to come in next week.)

I to did not order limos yet. Also have to book RD. Honeymoon - (we are not going till May.), undergarments and a million other little to dos!

I'm a month before you girls and feel like I'm drowning too. I've booked everything major, but I'm starting to hyperventilate at the amount of money I'm spending all at once for the last minute stuff.

My invitations went out 2.5 weeks ago and people are STILL receiving them. Send early!

I'm bugging out a bit. I'm glad I'm not the only one! I feel like there is still SO much left to do but there's like NO time whatsoever. We still haven't looked at tuxedos!!!!! And of course FH's car just broke down so all our energy has been going towards finding a new one asap thankfully I get those two weeks around Christmas and New Years off so I'll be doing a lot of last minute things then. Our invites are officially in production so that's one less thing to worry about too.

Re: January Brides

I feel like we've done a lot but yet there is still so much to go. we did tuxes back in Sept so that's out of the way. FH just got his boys their gifts (converse sneakers) so that's out of the way yet they need to be tried on. last thing I want is at our RD oh my shoes don't fit....

I still have to get a little something for my girls I think. I ordered them stuff a little at a time over the past year so it wasn't overwhelming. I ordered our card box in May and it came in Sept so that's done with. ordered some placecard holders so we have some of them. we still need to do favors. I haven't even been able to dye my hair being so broke from the wedding lol. or cut it! my hair is probably so horrible.

I still need to get something to wear under my dress which is hard since I'm dieting and getting smaller. I hope my bride tank top is still gonna fit actually... now I'm just anxious lol.

waiting on invites & if a bride from beginning of January hasn't even seen her proof and I'm later on I probably won't see it for awhile

OOT bags we're gonna do I guess late December? hopefully people book their rooms asap. it just never ends lol. it's like a full time job. I'm sure I'm forgetting stuff. I'm just happy we got lots of stuff out of the way. all our big checks are done.

Thanks for the advice! I think on wedding wire, one of my checks for this months was like, 'send out those invites!' Yeah right! I'm not even half way done with them!

what's a good rsvp date to put for jan 18th? figured I'd throw that out there.

I know my bff put her rsvp a few days before she had to give a final headcount and she was flipping out since 50 people hadn't rsvp'd yet!

Ours are due to go out 11/2 and we have an RSVP back by 12/7. We don't want ours lost in the holiday shuffle and we have a decent number of OOT guests
