5 weeks to go

Shannon Giraffes., on December 21, 2013 at 1:36 PM Posted in Planning 0 7

Today marks 5 weeks left before my wedding. I got a lot done this week, as far as ordering things. Things that probably should've been ordered awhile ago but oh well. I think the only things I have left to go out and buy are ours boots (which are already picked out, we just have to go get them), my jewelry, and since I decided to get pashminas for my BM's (they'll need them since the dresses are spaghetti strap, figured I would just make it a gift), now I need to get a little something for the guys.

Other than that, I'm just waiting on things to be delivered so I can do whatever DIY stuff I need to do. Flowers, card box, favors, all that stuff won't take me too awfully long. I feel like I'm forgetting stuff. Oh...........that's right....vows. Crap.

What last minute stuff have you guys forgotten? Or put off til the end? I want this stuff DONE by January!!

    We are so close!!!! I can't believe how close our day actually is! My FH and I are going to get my wedding band today. On Monday, I'm going to the venue to finalize linens and centerpieces. The rest will be DIY. Smiley smile

    I got my ring last week!!! I am so excited. It's actually another engagement band, but it's pretty dang fancy and I'm just going to wear it as my only ring. I'm having my current stone set on it, but not doing it until a week before the wedding. I wish I had the foresight when we got my engagement ring to pick out a SET, but I didn't, and it's hard to get anything to go with a marquis cut. But I love it now and I can't wait to wear it!!

    I'm 2.5 months out. Ugh. Still haven't gotten FH to get his and the groomsmen outfits, just talked to my cake lady today, need plates, napkins, favors, and serving stuff. And a card box since my first one won't work anymore (I changed my colors).

    I want to order my jewelry, but I'm hoping the store will have a 20% off sale like they did on cyber Monday. :-(

    We already finalized our menu & cake with the venue, but we haven't completed the timeline with the DJ nor booked our rehearsal dinner yet.

    Well, I still have the following on my to-do list:

    - Finalize program/get printed

    - print sign for drinks for cocktail hour

    - Make favors - 145 of them, but luckily, I'll be knocking my hot chocolate cone favors out tomorrow evening with 5-6 hands on deck

    - Get picture printed for signature frame

    - Create two more Welcome bags for hotel guests

    - and relax, relate and GET MARRIED!
