October girls

Where are you at right now in the planning stages? I feel like I'm missing so much and I feel like I'm at a standstill right now. If you can, can you list what you have done and are doing right now?

Thank!

1st fitting is Friday
Need to get in contact with my florist to see a sample centerpiece
RSVP stalking
Figuring out BM fittings and locating their dresses (still not in yet)
Need to buy breaking glass/ketubah if FH decides he wants them
Need to order favors
Need to figure out shuttle situation
Planning rehearsal (timing restaurant is booked)



We literally just had our final meeting with our hall yesterday to pick out menu & cake

I'm sure there is more but that's all I can think of for now.

ETA: thanks to lisa

Programs
escort cards

Here's what we still have left to do:

order programs
order cake stickers
put together OOT bags and bathroom baskets
pick out pictures to display when guests arrive
order escort cards
get slippers for slipper basket
pick out cake
see sample CP

Right now I'm stuffing invitation envelopes. I think I'm sending them out right after labor day, so that means we have to really finalize our guest list.
I start fittings on 8/27. Mom starts fittings 8/19.
We just chose a place and menu for the RD.

I have to: Finalize gifts for MOH and BMs and RB

Order Items and make OOT bags and Bathroom baskets

See samples of CPs from florist

Schedule Cake Tasting

FH has to figure out what to do for tuxes

Keep shopping for wedding bands

Order favors

Get undergarments for Dress

That's not everything, but I think the most important...
