Welcome to the official October thread.

This is where the '6 month girls' can chat about our weddings, how BUSY we will be this summer (summer? what summer?) and make sure we are all on track.

Part of favors
Honeymoon

Not Done List:

Invites (have meeting in 2 wks for them)

As you can see, my not done list is a lot longer than my already done list, but I should be on target. I have really lucked out with all my vendors which is good b/c I have the patience of a gnat and dont like to go to 5 places before i choose something, i usually research it well and keep my fingers crossed that the first one is the best one

I feel like I have so much to do!!! I'm so glad this thread was started. I am made the ridiculous decision to make my own invites. I plan on starting them next week when I am on vacation from work. I hope to get a lot of little stuff done then too. PLUS, FH and I are house hunting...it's been very stressful

Hello October Ladies!!!
Well, FH and I booked our florist and ordered invitations this past weekend... nice and productive during the horrible weather!!!! Just saw the invitation proofs today and the font is completely wrong! That's why I ordered them early!!!

My biggest 'to do' on the list is getting brides maid dresses. Pretty difficult when your MOH lives in CA and BM lives in Atlanta!!!

Just a thought for girls ordering programs now, what if you have a change in bridal party of someone drops out?

I'm ordering premade programs this week that I can just print out when all of the details are final
