Some checks!
-I had decided to put together bathroom baskets. I didn't go crazy over-board with them, but I wanted to atleast have something. Plus I am done with all of my DIY projects... and I wanted some more to do hahaha

-Our table numbers are officially done & put together. I had painted mini birdhouses about a year ago and last week we, well ok my Father drilled in those metal guys into the houses and the actual number slips into the top. They look sooo cute, I'm very happy with how they came out!
-We also picked out our songs that we want featured on our wedding DVD (didn't realize we needed to have a CD of music in 3 weeks before the wedding)
-Also confirmed all info for our picture site for in between the church & reception. We are both into theatre, so we are taking pictures at a theatre in Northport. I'm so excited!
-I also wrapped all of my family & bridal party's gifts. I had things just sitting in my room and I couldn't take them just sitting around... so I wrapped them all up and they are ready to go 2 months early
(again
)-My fiance' & I signed up for a fitness bootcamp. We plan to go twice a week for the entire month of April... wish me luck! haha
-My bridal shower is next Sunday(!!!)... so I've been big time actively registry stalking (uh & so has my fiance'!!!) I have such a love/hate relationship with surprises....
Other than that, crazy enough, I don't have much left on my list to do... the majority of the things are things I physically can't do until it gets super-close to the wedding.
It's crazy how quickly all of our weddings are coming up!!!

Re: Some checks!
My wedding is one day after yours and I feel a little behind reading all that you accomplished.
I hope my videographer doesn't need songs three weeks, I figured I would pick music after the wedding.

I'm nuts, don't feel behind haha

Yeah, I would have thought after the wedding as well!! We met with our photographer (/videographer) about 2 weeks ago & he gave me the paper work we needed to fill out. I was surprised to see that they asked for the music so soon.... but I guess that may help speed up the process too? We are giving them about 5-6 songs to choose from.

What did you include in the Bathroom basket?
For the women's room-body spray, hand lotion, hairspray, band-aids, Tide stick, floss, Altoids, Tums & Advil. I'm also going to add some fem. hygiene products as well.
Men's room-hand lotion, hairspray, band-aids, Tide stick, floss, Altoids, Tums & Advil.
Very basic stuff. I've seen deodorant and toothpaste & things like that included... but honestly, that skeeves me out. So I went with items that are shareable without being gross haha.
I had also found these little plastic containers at Target & loved that they had different shades of teal on it, so I figured instead of an actual basket... I can totally reuse these after the wedding and I added shredded red 'grass' (that stuff you use to fluff up gifts) to make the items higher in the container... so this way both of my wedding colors are incorporated and it all matches!
I am so obsessed with adding personal touches now!

Isn't it horrible?... and yet so awesome!?
My fiance' at one time was texting me what people had bought-because like I said, he stalks too haha-before I got to look myself... I had to yell at him to stop because he was ruining my stalking-surprises!!

I started stalking before the shower invites had even went out. At this point, I need an intervention!
