What's the status with everyone? What else do you have left to do?
I have: Precana (going Feb. 26) Shoes (mine, BM) Finish getting all the GM measured Get Mom to order a dress Menu Invitations (that's next on the list) Finalized guestlist Finish sending out STD (I know. I know. But I'm STILL collecting addresses from the parents). Veil, headpiece (but I think I know what I want) Timeline of day Make-up Artist (my sister goes for a trial on Saturday since I live OOT) Book Hair Appointment (I know who I want. Just need to book it)
What am I missing? We have done: Church Reception Hall Florist DJ Videographer Photographer Ordered STD Selected the invitation (just not ordered yet) Honeymoon Ordered my dress Ordered BM dress Groom selected tuxes and got measured Some of the GM got measured
How's my twins???

To be done: Order invitations (they're picked out) Order favors Pick tuxes Finish my placecards (making them, not putting names on them) Get pictures together for mantles at the Bourne Book RD
That's really it

Re: June/July Brides CHECK IN!
Okay, our invitations arrived on Saturday so now we have to send them out to the calligrapher. But before we can do that, we finish inserting the guestlist in the calligrphers Excel sheet.
I had a very productive 5 days in NY! I got my tiara, my shoes, ribbons for my invitations, and selected the flowergirl dress. I still have to get them ordered though. Oh yeah, I had a make-up trial and I booked her to do my hair and makeup. So I still have:
Getting thing dones slowly but surely! Gosh, I feel so behind.
New list: Order FG dresses Buy veil Buy undergarments Confirm Rhearsal Dinner Decide if we're doing a Day after brunch Buy Parents gifts Buy my jewlery Select BM shoes Make programs Make menus Tidy up room at home for pictures (My FH painted the room!) Confirm all vendors Get votive candles,etc for votive placecards Do playlist for DJ Get cake boxes for favors RINGS Book Hotel for the night of cake cutter set do REGISTRY (started that in NY, I have to finish that) get rest of GM to go get measured
Check in ladies!

Actually, I just peeked at your last list and realized I left off the registry and wedding bands. The registry seems like a lot of fun though, so I'm not stressed about it at all!

The registry is too much FUN! We originally planned not to register for too much, but I sort of went crazy with the gun.

Hey Twin. I'm sending out my invites to the calligrapher hopefully by Thursday. Hopefully, I can get the envelopes back in a week and we want to send them out no later than April 25. My official RSVP date is May 15, but I printed about 25 RSVP cards with June 1 dates.
