FH just picked up his tux this past weekend and he picked out the tuxes for the boys - all they have to do is go and get measured.

As for whats left:
- picking out all of our songs and DJ play lists
-our DIY ceremony programs
-our escort cards
-our menu (although we're picking the menu in about 2 wks)
-getting our favors ready
-tip envelops
-fittings for all of the girls and my mom and FMIL
-Hair trial (but I have it scheduled)
-final make up trial (again, scheduled)
-shoes/undergarmnets/bag
-ordering the champagne and hors de vours for the ceremony location

whew!!!! It's coming along! My MOH is doing so much with me that it eases the pressure and I'm not super overwhelmed. On top of this, FH and I have started calling around making final appt's with all of our vendors that need them.
