Ahhhhhh, I can't believe I'm 28 days away! Not too many checks left to go:
- Parent gifts (I got a Groupon for a large-ish canvas print, I just need to choose a picture) - Ring bearer/flower girl gifts - Finalize details with the florist - Finish the seating chart - Find pics to display around the venue and in our card box - Teeth whitening! - Put together BP gifts - Final fitting in 3 weeks - OOT bags - Honeymoon shopping!
What do the rest of you have left to tackle?

It is hard for me to put it in a concise list, teeny tiny things just keep popping up! I am working on starting/working on/finishing the small projects (programs, escort cards, menus), tying up the gifts (need ring bearer bear), and confirming all contracts. I just bought all of the goodies for the out of town hotel boxes. Things are coming together!
ACKKKK, programs! That's also on my list. The template is ready, I just need to take them to Staples or somewhere to print.

Pretty much the same for me....need to get:
ring bearer and flower girl gifts DJ appointment Marriage Licence Create place cards Create Menu Dress Fittings Vendor confirmations Honeymoon shopping
What kinds of gifts are you giving the ring bearers??
Our ring bearer is 3 1/2 and the flower girl (his sister) is 1 1/2. We bought him a toy white stretch limo from Amazon and her Pinkalicious: Flower Girl (from the Pinkalicious book series). Then we got both of them the two Curious George movies. I wanted them to have things they can really enjoy for a long time.

Hey July Brides, I was curious about where you intend to take pictures? I am having my reception at the most beautiful golf course, so our plan is to head straight there and take advantage of the scenery. But-- yesterday at work we ran a fire drill and it was so hot, all i could think about was how the heck am I going to be outside for 2 hours in July (4-6pm) in that big dress, hair down, make up done????

Anyone else panicked about heat?
Ugh, I've thought about this (like when I went for my fitting last week and my legs were sweating buckets in less than 10 minutes) and unfortunately there's nothing we can do about that. I'd rather have a hot but gorgeous day than rain (my personal worst nightmare is a torrential downpour)! Just make sure you stay hydrated and that somebody always has water for you. And maybe see if somebody can bring something to at least help keep you out of the sun when the camera's not on you.

Yea I've thought about it because I sweat bad! Last weekend at a festival my friend wiped the sweat off of my forehead and all I could think was 'Geez and this is with capris and a tank top - I have a full blown gown to wear in a month and it is only going to get warmer'. But I agree, I'll deal with a nice sunny hot day then a rainy day. Make sure to have a towelette handy to dab your face everyone once and a while. If it weren't for the dark circles around my eyes, I wouldn't wear make up because I know I'm just going to sweat it all off.

Omg! I'm in such a panic about the heat. I'm starting to wonder why I picked July for an outdoor ceremony! This was one of the reasons we opted to do a reveal, this way many of our photos will be done before hand, while the make up is fresh! hahaha
