I was engaged one month when this thread started and didn't even know this website existed! How ever did I survive the day!

Still have left:
Pre-cana sign up
Input Guest List into computer
Order Invites
Set up Limos
Get shoes and hair pins
Get my lighthouses for the centerpieces(not in until March!)
Order candles and votive holders
Buy Tulle for decorating
Find OTT bags
Make programs and menu cards

I'm sure I am forgetting stuff but this doesn't look too bad. I will have a lot of DIY stuff to make and do in the future, though.
