don't be jellous. Trust me!

I agree completely! Enjoy the time you have to plan and don't run around at the last minute like I have to. I have yet to make a list of things to bring on the HM!

This time last year, I wasn't even engaged!

Try to do as much as you can as early as possible and just have fun!

I agree!!!
Get as MANY 'little things' done as you can,
once time comes around, little things are all youll have left to do and you'll wish you knew what to do!!

- book all vendors
- compile mp3s or itunes set list of must have songs (if using a DJ)
- compile do not play list
- think seriously about flowers and stationary (STD, invites, placecards, RD invites, programs)
- start researching HM
- plan out budget and cash flow
- accessories for you and for the BMs
- think about BP gifts
- make a timeline of what you hope to accomplish each month
- driving directions for vendors
- think about things that you could buy during after-christmas sales
- all the cute springy stuff in stores now will be gone soon -- buy that stuff while you can, because you won't see it again until next March

Basically, if you can do it now, do it now!

In another month, all the May '05 girls will be married! Wow!
