what am I forgetting

I know this is such a 'typical' post- but I feel like I need to re-cap. This is the stuff I have left:

marriage license (important!)
favors
dj list
bathroom basket
repair kits
makeup trial (have to find somebody)
photo arranging (who needs to be 'shot')
confirm all vendors
see florist for samples
gifts for readers
gifts for groomsmen
pick up rings
placecards
table names
buy something for the envelopes
stuff totes for kids
start arranging tables
hire a video person
final deposit on hall
choose menu

so here we are - *what am I forgetting?

Re: what am I forgetting

You are getting married in a month? I would put makeup and video on your to-do quick list. Aren't you totally stressed?
Stuff to put on list:
pack for honeymoon
Box and label everything you need to bring to the reception site (cake cutter, toasting flutes etc..)

Not sure if you did bridal party gifts or not yet.

Re: what am I forgetting

jenny it will all get done. Actually, looking at you list I don't think it's that bad!

I know how it is with other things in the midst. I had my brother's wedding less than a month and a half ago. That took a lot of my time. Then on top of it I moved, my parents are moving the house they lived in for 24 years and three people died (some of which are very, very close to us! - FI's grandmother). I am getting married the end of October and just a couple of weeks ago my list was as long as yours! In the past couple of days I was able to accomplish sooo much. FI and I have done it all ourself....we hardly rely on our bridal party at all! I just of course have no free time!

Good Luck!

Re: what am I forgetting

Cindy used a girl from the Channel counter for her makeup and it looked great. Might want to PM her for info.
Video- who have you met with so far? Let's see if we can help.
No tux yet- tell him to get off his a__ and find one asap.
favors- ideas? if you need to order something must do asap.

Don't worry it will all get done. And don't forget your marriage license CANNOT be gotten the day before your wedding! It needs to be at least 24 hours prior.
