Am I the only one that thinks time is flying by? I have less than 300 days to the wedding and so feel like I have so much more to do!
With that being said, I am curious as to what things you have done, and what things you still need to do.
Hopefully this post will make me realize things I am forgetting!

Just curious- where are you with your planning?
I am feeling the same way. Once I hit the year mark, reality has set in and I have some work to do! So far, I have booked : venue (also holding ceremony there) photo/video Florist DJ Hotel block
I've tried on some dresses and reached out to limo people, but that's really where I stand now. My sister is working on creating my save the dates.

You have more than me done! I don't have a florist or dress yet, although I am looking in the next two weeks for both.

I'm approaching the 6th month mark:
Photographer Booked Videographer Booked Venue/Ceremony Same Place Booked Dressed Ordered Bridesmaids Ordered Invitations Picked (not ordered yet) DJ Booked Limos (not yet booked likely to wait till the last minute)
On my to do list: Florist (only need bouquets for bridal party) which explains my stalling.
Limos Groomsmen Tuxes within the next two weeks

I have venue/ceremony, dress, and hotel block (not even sure I will need it).
I have a co-worker who DJs and knows lots of them, he only needs a couple of months notice with that.
We haven't booked a photographer yet, but I believe a family friend of ours will be doing the photos. Still have to meet with her.
I am ordering save the dates in the next couple of weeks.
I am doing DIY decorations, so not using a florist for that. Not sure yet on bouquets or boutonnieres. (It's only me, FH, best man and MOH)

We have venue, church, photog, video, DJ, and dress. STDs are going out hopefully next week- working on printing labels for them today. I haven't even started looking into florists yet- I know what types of flowers I love but don't know how that'll work with my budget or who to even meet with. I was reading a 'to do' list in one of my books the other day and was freaking out about how much we still have left to do!

400 day mark today! Weeeee!
Booked: Venue/Ceremony (same place) Photographer Photobooth Videographer Officiant (my aunt) Florist DJ Hotel Block Dress Save the Dates ordered
I feel like I can relax...but my friend who is getting married tomorrow was saying - 'yea, you THINK so...'
I think you always have that feeling of either - I'm almost done - or - Holy crap, there's so much to do!

So far all I have done is:
Venue Photographer DJ Florist Dress
I feel like I have so much left to do also. I am hoping to get the hotel block and limos done soon and then bridesmaids dresses and then hopefully a little break. haha

We have all of our venues booked, took our engagement photos (pics in albums), officiant (friend of ours), completed our registry. Now it's all the little things that add up..... So far I purchased a card box and ring bearer box from Etsy, putting the finishing touches on our invitations, ordering the favors, purchased our flutes and a gift for FH for the day of. Still have a ton more to do but taking it easy or at least trying to. Lol

250 Days to go! Definitely need to start getting ourselves together now! We were full steam ahead at first but since then, we've definitely been slacking for the past few months because of work. So far... Dress...check (it's been in my closet for a few months! Still need alterations though) Venue...We're already up to our 3rd payment. Centerpieces and the cake are included with the venue, so at least some of the flowers are done! We found our photographer at an amazing price, and just need to stop procrastinating and sign the contract. Our photog is $2K, ALL DAY (as in no time limit, from getting dressed to the end of the reception), 2 photographers, only $500 down, with the remaining cost due before the pictures are delivered to us. I've picked the colors/style/designer of bridesmaid dresses, but the girls can't seem to get around to going to pick one (we're doing mix and match dresses). Hotel Block done Church Registry
Still need... Video DJ Limos Florist Invitations Make up Rings Favors
....and a million other things. I'm not as queries about the little things, because they can be managed 3 to 6 months before. We're focusing more on the big things first so we can monitor our budget more easily. We've gotten very lucky so far in taking our time researching vendors and getting the most for our budget. My father was supposed to help us with the wedding, but luckily....knock on wood...wre haven't needed to call on him yet!
