Hi ladies!!! What are you all up to? I feel like we still have so much time but that also I'll blink and then it will be here. Have all major things done. Still left to do transportation, tuxedos and bridesmaid dresses. Dragging my feet on that one. Share your progress here :)

Who is everyone using for invites? We are trying to tackle that now. We met with Jessica Leigh and LOVED her work but just curious to see what else is out there for budgeting purposes.

Hey ladies so I feel like we finally got some things accomplished lately and since we are rapidly approaching the 100 days out I wanted to see if I was behind or if I am right on schedule. What do you ladies have left to do?
Left to do: Programs (in the process of making an appt with our officiant) Menu (We have an appt July 9th with our venue to go over menu) Bridal party gifts (I started buying need to finish Parent gifts Print rehearsal invitations Buy supplies for rehearsal party Fathers need to go get their tux and FH needs to be remeasured end of summer lost more weight Invitations need to be mailed out (in the process of stuffing) Honeymoon clothing (bought some just want to buy a few more things since summer clothes will be gone by October) Honeymoon Lingerie Reception shoes Ceremony decor (we have some just need to finish buying) Finish decorating the ceremony wine box and write letters Finish buying the rest of the favors we have the labels ready to go. Finalize music finish making final vendor appts dress fitting (my dress is not in yet) Started a checklist of items to be brought to the venue before hand and things that need to be brought to the hotel with me for day of. Still on the hunt for an affordable veil final hair and makeup trial confirm honeymoon reservations DOJ for the bridal party
I feel like I have a lot still left to do.

October brides -- do you have a back-up indoor photo location you're using? We are taking our first look pictures beforehand at the Farmingdale State College gardens (we both live in f-dale). Looked into both Planting Fields (too expensive) and Old Westbury Gardens (they don't do indoor pics during the month of October). Any suggestions for an indoor option?

We are actually taking our first look pic in the hotel, taking pictures at the Roslyn movie theater before heading to Jericho Terrace to finish taking pics there before the ceremony.

Old westbury will do indoor if your outdoor locations are rained out. :)
