    I’m finishing up all my DIY projects that I put off. Finalizing my schedules.
    Finalizing seating charts.

    Ive been married for 7 years so not much will change in that aspect! Haha

    29 days! Third and final fitting, pick up dress, decide on earrings, tie my favor tags, assemble bridesmaid gift bags, make reserved seating signs for ceremony, write vows! Oh and fill lavender toss bags.

    Is that really it?? I can't believe it's so soon!

    8 days out. Really just have to do final touches once we get to town. And bridal party gifts. Have no idea what to do at this point. But I get to go shopping so it can't be all bad right?

    I'm 2.5 weeks out and I need to send my final count to the caterer, meet with my coordinator and DJ for the wedding details, pick up my dress, get my ring cleaned, figure out some last minute details, and send out my mini timelines for the bridal party and family. I also need to pack a day of kit and for our honeymoon.

    It's not much but it feels like a lot just because I have to wait on doing some things and I can't do it all at once, I hate the feeling of this little things hanging over my shoulder and I've had a few last minute cancellations which worries me about no-shows and just overall last minute things that will pop up worry me. I am trying to just be excited, but I also feel like I just want this all to be over so I don't have to think about all these little details anymore.

    7 days away according to WW. I'm working on printing out the signs we have left, printing table numbers/seating chart and going over the music with FH. Also, I'm packing up everything in totes to bring to the venue next Wednesday ahhhhhhhhh!!!!! I'm getting maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarriedSmiley laugh


    I'm super excited to be married and not have to plan anymore! It's been a long time (engaged since 2/2/2016). The next task is to plan the honeymoon, which will be in November 2018.

    28 days and we still have a lot to do:

    -follow up with non-RSVP-ers - our deadline was last Friday and we still haven't heard anything from like 40 people, including some of the wedding party!

    -then finalize seating chart and submit final numbers

    -apply for our marriage license (doing this today)

    -send song info to DJ and shot info to photographer

    -finalize our vows

    -organize all our decor for our drop-off appointment

    -pick up our favors (custom-labeled mini wine bottles from a local winery)

    -make up candy favors for those under 21

    -have my 3rd (and hopefully final) fitting for my dress

    -do a deep cleaning of our house in case we get any company

    I think that's it.

    We are 15 days out and I have my final headcount due on Friday for my venue.

    I have to get a couple of things for my favors and put it together. I still need to write my vows as well. The seating chart is mostly done.

    Slightly more than a month!

    I've purposely been waiting to buy my favors (salt water taffy) because it's so dang hot here, I don't want them to melt. I'll be getting them 2 weeks before. My boxes are all ready though!

    I still have my welcome sign to do as well. I have a design in mind and I drew it out, but I just don't like it now that I see it. I'll have to figure it out.

    The GMs only have half their attire so far, so I'm pushing FH to go shopping soon. One of the guys broke his ankle recently too, so it's a scramble to find a backup plan if he can't walk in the sand for the ceremony. We also have to figure the same out for FH's grandmother since she's wheelchair bound now. Little complications!

    31 days away, I think, and still tons to do. Finishing floating flower wreaths for the pool, finding FH outfit, and our sons outfit. Still have to make the backdrop for the ceremony, make a few centerpieces, and decide whether or not I'm doing my hair and makeup.

    I also haven't even started on my dress

    AHH I can't believe we are down to month I am so excited! I just finished the seating chart this morning (that was the hardest part of all of this in my opinion) Now we just need to go get our marriage license which we plan to do on Monday, finalize our vows, and finish the wedding party gifts.

    My wedding is this Saturday! The only things have left are filling up my favor boxes and decorating, which I'm doing tomorrow before the rehearsal! Best of luck to all the rest of you ladies coming up on your big day!

    17 days out. All I have left is to polish some silverware for the head table (I'm using personal silverware that I inherited from my Grandmother), print out the name tags for the head table, print the programs and pick up the Groomsmen's tuxes. We actually got legally married last year in a private setting, but are now doing a full wedding ceremony and reception to celebrate with friends and family. I am super excited and ready for big day to get here!

    20th Anniversary! Never had a wedding, however, renewing my vows this June in Oahu Hawaii. Still very stressful. We are doing a reverse (reception 1st) at home, Hawaiian style (Luau).
