Re: October Girls Update

We had a good weekend- we ordered our invitations and booked our DJ (Music by Michael, we were super impressed!).

Hopefully by the end of the week we will have the florist and limos. I still need jewelry and undergarments, and we have to do tuxes, favors, all my DIY projects (I am making ribbon wands too!)

Re: October Girls Update

I did a lot early so I'm searching for an apartment, making programs, finalizing invite list. I actually made my seating chart before finding out if anyone's coming (FH thinks I'm crazy)

but I'm having fun with it. Still have to get BM and GM gifts! I went for my hair and makeup trial the other day, needless to say I have to find someone else for my makeup....not happy about it but it's all coming together though.

Re: October Girls Update

Well, I got the call this weekend that my invitations are IN. That was exciting. Just have to go pick them up.

The big stuff that I'm working on are the rings and the honeymoon.

I've already looked around at rings so its just a matter of making the final decision.

And we know that we want to go on a Mediterranean cruise. I've looked on the internet a lot so I know when they different lines have their October Cruises. We're in the process of pricing them with a travel agent now to see which way we'll do better.

I'm also working on some little stuff on my own. I've been working on cry packs. And thinking a lot about the programs. (My sister is going to help me design

)

My dress isn't in yet either. But I'm not expecting it until July. The BM and FG dresses are already in. And my mother found her dress and it's on order.

So much to do...so little time.

Re: October Girls Update

I finally have most of the big stuff done--booked my photographer yesterday, so that's a huge relief.

Now I'm on to invitations, but FH wants us to make our own. That should be an adventure!

We got my wedding ring, he's trying to decide on his. Then I'm still looking for a FG dress and I have to figure out what FH and the guys should wear, color-wise. Oh, and we're doing our own centerpieces with feathers. So I'm constantly working on the prototype.

Need to plan a trip back to NY (I'm planning from Cali) in August so I can check in on all my vendors!

Re: October Girls Update

God help me it's nearly Mid June!

I owe 80% photo and 75% hall by Sept!
I am gonna die a very poor woman!

The hall is really the tough one. The photo's pretty much been put on the back burner so I can catchup on the hall but it's so much Money!

Re: October Girls Update

Almost 4 months to go! It's really going quick. Finally got my makeup done CORRECTLY! SO that's out of the way....this summer I'm going to work on the favors. I can't contact the florist until Sept 1st....does that sound correct?
