We are almost at our 3 month mark!

How's everyone's planning going? What do you have left to do?

I still have to...

Get Rings
Favors
Drop off envelopes to Calligrapher (this Thursday)
Stuff and Send Invites (August 1st)
BP Gifts
Parent Gifts
Menus/Programs
Dress fittings

PAY FOR IT ALL!!!

I have exactly 3 months and 3 days left!!

My mom picked up our invites last week. Fiance and I are going over this weekend to see them and begin the fun stuffing/addressing/stamping process.

I have a makeup trial scheduled for next weekend as well as a meeting with the florist.

We have all our vendors booked, now we just need to meet with them and decide what we want!

We have yet to decide on:
Guestbook
food
the cake
our music
wedding bands(rings)
the centerpieces!

Don't say that, I just got used to the less than 4 month thing!

I have done so much and still think of 100 more things everyday that I have left to do.

Deep breath...It will all work out...that's what I keep telling myself.

I feel your pain Andrea!
