What are you ladies working on?

Let's see in the next few weeks or so I want to:

Finish my slipper basket
Finish the petal cones
Makes more wax seals for the programs
Go to my first fitting
Start working on DJ must play list and songs for the reception
Meet with John for sample CP appt (This Thurs!)
Get marriage license
Book spa appts for bridal party for day before
Send out RD invites
Order Grooms cake
Order RD Favors
