    -We have all our vendors (including a DOC we hired last minute!!!)

    -We have our guest book

    -FH has a suit, groomsmen are buying suits

    -MOH has ordered her dress, hasn't gotten it yet

    -We have all decor

    -I have my shoes (I think, I don't have a dress yet so we'll see)

    -We have favors

    -We sent out invitations early

    -We are going to send the band our worksheet either today or tomorrow

    We are into finalizing details now, with the exception of my dress, which I am buying of the rack in about 6-8 weeks. We also need a suit for my son who will be my Man of Honor but he hits a growth spurt usually around this time of year so I'm waiting on that as well.

    Im getting married April 14, 95% of our guest are coming from out of state. We got engaged Veterans day weekend in 2017 and my fiancé is gone for the moment for school so we had to get as much done before he left.

    -All vendors booked including director

    -Venue paid for

    -Picked up my dress on Saturday, setting up alteration appointment

    -Bridesmaids and MOH have dresses

    -Groomsmen are renting and have an appointment on the 14 of Feb for fitting

    -Favors ordered, including guestbook

    -Invitations are due back this coming weekend so I can make seating chart.

    -Waiting for final count to order cake ( and cupcakes) and the final count for our catering.

    -Ordered rings and picked up and sized

    -Make trial complete, hair trial this weekend


    Everything comes together but yes follow the wedding wire checklist and talk to your vendors and friends that have been recently married.

    We are getting married in April 13. Just few things we need to do. I still need to get the card box, guestbook, my accessories, dad's and my nephew's tuxes, final payments...

    Don't forget a fancy hanger for dress pictures, and the cake cutting set. I almost forgot those.

    We're getting married April 20th. We are finalizing the music with the DJs, the photo lists with the photographers, the menus with the venue caterer and still have to put together the welcome bags for our OOT guests. The invites went out last week.

    Everything else is already taken care of. Time is flying by.

    My date is April 14 and man I am stressing on small items.
    My invitations go out this weekend and I had to reorder envelopes to have the return address, but did not do the guest list. What are you guys using to address your envelopes? I bought an Avery address label, but when I printed my "Save the Dates" the template messed them up. I do not want to pay anyone to address them. Trying to save as much as I have left. LOL

    April 14th here! God this post is so my life right now. I feel like I have so much to do but I'm not sure what it is. I'm so lost

    -Wedding party gifts

    -Make sure our rehearsal brunch is all set

    -Ring bearer and flower girl apparal

    -Parents gifts

    -Watch for FH

    -Pocket squares (like why is this not done?)

    -Dress altered

    -Send out our finished invitations that are just sitting on the table

    -Pick out linens

    -Pick out cake

    -Decide on songs for particular moments

    -Decide which food we want

    -Table numbers

    -Place cards

    -Favor stuff

    -Card Box


    To be fair, our venue has a lot that is all inclusive. So the food & cake tastings are next month as well as picking out our linens. I'M SO FAR BEHIND.

    We used our own printer and just manipulated the size of the envelope and it printed right onto it. PS let's hope there's no rain on our wedding day (:

    Hi.

    We are getting married Friday the 13th!

    This is my second go- around... we were scheduled to have a wedding on Oct. 8th 2017 in San Juan, PR. But the weather had other plans (Hurricane Maria) and we had to cancel a week out. That being said, we had everything from dress, decor, suits, accessories and gifts are done so all we needed was a new venue.

    Invitations are in and going out end of the week

    All vendors are chosen and contracted

    Hotels booked

    Hair and Make up trial this week

    Food is selected

    Best of Luck to All!

    I've gotten pretty far. I need to finalize the ceremony and pick the music. I have to admit my MOH has been the best help ever. She has kept me very organized and helped me with so much.
