October Brides Check-In (Eeek!)

To do:

Finish deposit by 10/3

Last dress try on

Pick up menswear

Final count

Omg I feel like I have so much to do, and not to even think about my dress drama. I planned to do my table numbers this weekend, but FH and I decided to go back to NJ to do them and already have a million other NWR things to do, so I don't see that happening.

I need to do thank you's for the bridal party, gather the last of my RSVPs, seating chart, find some place to get ready, pay vendors, make a few more signs, finalize and print programs, finalize post wedding brunch guest list/ send invites for brunch, pick up marriage license, I'm sure I'm missing things. I refuse to sit down and make any more lists. But I know I have too! :/

Ladies I feel ya. I feel like I have so much to do!

Today I finished ordering alcphol, we need to finish gifts for everyone, get our lisence, and get everythin organized.

Oh I forgot, I need place cards! @Adriana, you triggered my memory! For some reason they have been one of the hardest things for me. I am trying to DIY to match my invites, but I can't cut a straight line or measure, apparently!

I'm so glad I'm not the only one drowning in to-do's!

Pick up dress (Monday)

Hair and makeup trial

Finish song selections (recessional, intros)

Go to reception venue and decide on napkins, plates, centerpieces, etc.

Check off on bouquets

Call people who haven't rsvp'

Find a flower girl basket and a guest book

So close but so far away!

Sometimes when thinking about the wedding I realize that I've quit breathing.

FH and I are slowly crossing things off the list. Up this weekend is picking up my ring, scoping out picture places in town, and FH has to write his vows. My BM gifts are taken care of , FH has to do his own gifts for the GM.

Dress alterations and HMU trial is schedule for the same day and happening next week. All the mothers have dresses and have scheduled alterations.

Music needs to be decided on. Blarg! All of it. I come from musicians and FH has big opinions on music so this is a constant battle between us.

All of my already married friends say I'm in a good place, but I feel behind.

My fiance is using the Russel joe verison of count on me for his mom son dance its really sappy though.

To much shit to do but hit a lull just tired of thinking about it i just want it to finally be the day!

If anyone has suggestions where to find a dress for a 4 month old other than macys it would be greatly appreciated!!!

Ugh, I feel so behind today. Still have to finish WP gifts and figure out what to get FFIL. Need to come up with day-of timelines, confirm them with the priest, come up with music lists and photograph lists (per our vendors' requests), gather a ton of decor to take with us, and about a million other things, not the least of which is finish paying everyone. Lol

Not to mention my dress is undergoing major alterations that weren't in the budget thanks to the 23 lbs I've lost since June. Makes me want to cry and happy dance at the same time.

I feel like we have finalized a lot of things, dress done, caterer finalized with all menu options, DJ done, photographer (finishing up small details of what we want), centerpieces, wedding bands, and marriage license picked up today!!

Still have to finish up mother of the bride and groom gifts, our flower girl gifts and the signs our boys are carrying. Oh and still need a seating chart or a way to display it.

Bridal shower is this weekend, super excited about that! We are officially 3o days out today!! I can't believe this day is finally coming closer.

Next month we are all getting married!!

Oh, Lord. This makes me anxious. We are having a relatively simple wedding and yet I feel like I have a lot to do. This is partly because I have a lot of NWR things going on as well.

To Do:

Get license

Send ceremony/vow notes to officiant

Figure out music situation for ceremony and pick a recessional song

Plan ceremony

Figure out table centerpieces/decor (bought stuff, just need to arrange it somehow)

Find shoes for stepdaughter, clothes for step son

New boots for FW

Nail down cake design

Buy a frame for E-pic print

Balance on a few vendors

So much packing (DW)

Contact store about flowers

Panic

Take xanax

And other things I'm probably forgetting.

Don't worry ladies, it will all get done, and we will feel sooo good when it's over lol!

@chaos05 I seriously packed Xanax for the day of!

I feel like I'm ok.....

Pick up dress, seating chart, thank notes for bridesmaids, assemble their gifts and buy picture frames and write a note to the FH. I think I'm doing good. 33 days and can't wait!

Oh forgot I need to finish my vows

Most important to do's left : finish center pieces, final dress fitting, make seating chart (which i so don't want to do but with reception an ceremony at same venue its a must) find wanted decor for the ceremony, lose another 15lbs lol
