November 4, 2020


So far I have: booked the venue (all inclusive flowers, caterer, DJ, bartender. I supply alcohol. Coordinator included, thank goodness because I don’t know if I would be able to go through this without her!) Making payments on the venueFound my dressAsked my bridal party, they all said yes! 🥰Have looked at dresses for 2 out of the 3 bridesmaids. One of them already put a deposit down for her dress 😊I have my hair dresser doing my hair. FH’s sister (MOH) said she would do my make up since I am going for a more natural simple look.
Things I need to do: FH’s suit, he is getting it custom madeLook for groomsmen suitsHe needs to ask them lolOfficiantCakeEngagement photos (will be done soon)Looking for dresses with my mom for her ShoesAccessories (I am not doing a veil, but want to do a tiara).
I feel like I still have so much to do! 😳😱

I’m 10/10/20 and the following has been done:

Venue (hotel includes catering), officiant, florist, photographer, wedding planner, DJ, hair and makeup, cocktail hour entertainer, my dress (no bridal party), videography, guest room discount codes, honeymoon, hashtag, cake, guest “book” and save-the-dates purchased.

Favors and invitations have been decided upon and just need to be ordered. Decor ideas are pretty much set. The main thing remaining (right now) is to decide which wedding website to use and create it by the time we mail our save-the-dates in January. Most of the remaining items will be ordered by January (maybe there will be holiday deals).
My goal is to have pretty much no planning to do in 2020 and just enjoy the engagement.

Forgot to mention I decided on favors being this popcorn bar, it’s this specialized shops of different crazy flavors but so good!


I feel better now knowing I’m pretty much right along where most people are at lol.

View Quoted Comment That sounds my goal. I think by winters end I want my cake, officiant, and dresses all ready...then just focus on buying the little decorations and that’s it.

View Quoted Comment I’m sure you’ll make it happen. Happy Planning!!!!

Wow, I am feeling a little bit behind reading all of these. We are getting married Nov 2020 and so far we have:

1. Booked our venue

2. Took engagement photos

3. Create our save the dates/ wedding website

4. Created 1 centerpiece (to see if it was worth it to DIY)

5. Chose colors

6. Chose bridal party

7. Put a deposit on my dress

8. Created invites (planning to order on Black Friday)

and that's about it....

View Quoted Comment That’s one year from now, sounds like the right track!
