Just wondering....

For all of you that are ordering favors, have you ordered them yet? I don't have a count yet...haven't mailed out the invitations yet...but I'm wondering if I should order the favors now to make sure that I get the ones that I want?!?

TIA

I ordered mine in February or March and the only reason I did that was because the vendor was having a sale. I ordered extra and figured that I could always sell the ones that I didn't use on ebay.

Re: October Brides....

This week we have:

- an appointment with a dj company (we're pretty much finalizing this deal)
- an appointment with a videographer
- an appointment with the minister (we're pretty much finalizing this deal) (we're pretty much finalizing this deal)
- Checking out tuxedos (My bridesmaids went this weekend to order their dresses)


This month I still need to:
- finish printing, stuffing, and mailing out invites
- go for food/cake tasting at RH
- make an appointment for next month for my alterations/fitting
- purchase under garments and shoes
- go for makeup appointment
- go for final hair appointment
The girl doing my hair/makeup is kick arse and has already done a test run. We just want to do another test with the tiara, veil, makeup and extensions.
- put together gifts for my bridal party
- put together bathroom baskets

This is all I can think of for now. It's crazy to know that my wedding is only 90 days away (12 weeks!!) especially since we've had a 2 year engagement. I'm glad we got some of our responsibilities knocked off during the past year or so. I think because it's getting closer and closer to my day - I have a sudden panic feeling that I'm going to miss something.

Granted I know no matter what I'll have a GREAT time and everything will be perfect. I just have a feeling I'm going to show up and forget something major - like the gown that's been hanging in my mom's closet since January.

Did you order one for each person or one for each couple?

I'm thinking that I should order the favors now, even though I haven't sent out the invitations yet. I want to get those coasters with the leaves on them. I'm afraid that if I wait untill September, they may be sold out. So do I order based on the invitation list?
