VIP November 2021

325 days! Woohoo

on December 18, 2019 at 9:26 AM Posted in Community Conversations 2 12
So we have our date, venue, DJ, Photographer, florist, my dress, the color scheme, centerpieces, cake, ceremony decor all covered, booked and almost paid in full.


I need :Hair and makeup artist/stylist
Officiant
Shoes/jewelry
Favors
Sweetheart table decor
Name cards
Table numbers
Obviously invitations and STDs but all o have to do is order them once we finalize our guest list
FH is taking care of all the men’s attire
My girls are all hunting for dresses
Flower girl dress will be ordered soon and not fitted until right before wedding
What should my next step be? What should I do first?! I tried to take a break for the holiday since we have a lot already set in stone and our daughters bday is a week after Xmas so we have a lot going on lately lol

    Totally understandable. It sounds like you are off to a great start. I know when I got engaged I planned most of the wedding within the first two months.

    Woohoo!! less than a year left! time is going to fly by! you're doing so great already. you will have everything done in no time Smiley smile

    i would focus on the dresses and groomsman attire first.

    i would wait for you name/place cards till you have your RSVPs. leave the smaller stuff till closer to the big day. you're on a roll girl! keep up the great work
