    - Invitations will be mailed probably early July. I still have to address them
    - DIY centerpieces and BM bouquets
    - Finding a seamstress
    - Deciding on FH's kids' attire
    - Gifts, haven't even given this a thought yet 😩
    - Complete questionnaire for officiant to write our ceremony
    - Song choices. We're skipping first dance and parent dances, so we just have to decide on processional, recessional and introductions
    - Hair and makeup trials are scheduled in July
    - I told FH it's on him to find or rent a suit but I have to give him the nudge to just do it
    - Finalizing our menu
    - Figuring out what the hell we're doing for a rehearsal dinner. Thinking of just ordering pizza

    We have just finished up buying gifts, FH set up tux fitting & sent all the info out to his Gm & the fathers, my bridal shower, Hair/MU trial, & fittings begin in August. Other than that we are just waiting to send out our invites, make final payments, and create our song/shot list with DJ & Photographer/videographers. I can't wait!

    Very busy time is right! I enjoyed the nice lull I had since I had everything done that could be done for the longest time, but that's all out the window now as I get the final details out of the way!

    I need to:

    -Print out and send invitations

    -Hair and makeup trial Saturday!

    -Buy my slip for under my dress

    -Buy all gifts for BMs, FH, mom, dad, flower girls

    -Write my vows

    -Get everything ready to go to take to venue

    -Put together day of emergency kit

    -Get my shoes

    -Add bustle and lace to dress to cover up extra cleavage

    -Put bouquets together

    -Get wedding license! Can't forget this!

    -Finalize plans with DJ

    -Finalize schedule with photographer

    -Give venue final count

    -Make wedding favors

    -Pull out money for vendor tips

    -Pay off all remaining balances

    -Pack for mini-moon

    I think that's pretty much it! 57 days out and not super stressed, which was my goal all along. I'm probably forgetting something on my list, but if I am, it's small, and if it's missed, oh well!

    We are 3 months as of today!

    -The invitations will arrive tonight and we'd like them sent out around the beginning of July.

    -We're working on getting rings and chair rentals.

    -We're getting our e-pics done on the 8th and my first dress fitting is on the 10th.

    -My shower is planned for the 21st and all I know about that is the snapchat my MOH sent me about glitter lol

    -FH finally looked at tuxes the other day and is making his final decision.

    And that's just July's to-do list!

    Just hit double digits today!

    -We order invites a few days ago. So I'm working on buying a new printer and printing out address labels.

    -Meeting with pastor to start the pre marriage consoling process

    -wrapping up our wedding registries and making shower guest list & addresses to give to the hosts.

    -In the process of making a photo guest book

    -finalize cake flavors/ideas

    -getting bridesmaid dresses picked up and getting my boots and hair accessories ordered.

    -trying to organize another hair trial without having her come to me. (she lives 3+ hours away with an added travel fee) I wish I would of done more research for local people. I think I might just visit a braid bar place near me to have them do it just to determine if I end up liking it or not. Then just going off of pictures and what not.

    -and a bazillion other things...... It's starting to sneak up on me with how much we have to do! Smiley atonished

    Need to get back into my DIYs but seems like there's never time! Our deadline for RSVP's is a week away and they've only just started to trickle in so I'm starting to get nervous that I'm going to have a few (or fifty) phone calls to make, UGH.

    In the middle of dress fittings right now and (the one thing that's been fun about planning in the last few months) - choreographing our first dance.

    We're one week from tomorrow, and I'm still DIY-ing our program fans. Get those DIYs done early if you can! I kept putting them off and putting them off.

    I also have to organize and label our decor, etc., for our drop-off appointment next week, finish putting wedding party gifts together, have my hair trial (finally) on Sunday and print out a few photos for special things. So much to do!

    Today marks 99 days for me! I sent out my invites a little early since it's a destination wedding so I'm stalking my mailman everyday waiting for the RSVPs to come back. My mom is helping with the centerpieces, boutonnieres, and corsages. I still need to make a couple more signs and figure out how I want things set up. I need to get a few more gifts for parents/bridal party. I am doing a boudoir shoot tomorrow and I am super excited for that! That will be my wedding gift for my FH. I need to decide on a couple more songs for cake cutting and when the bridal party walks down the aisle. We also need to meet with our officiant to finalize our ceremony. I'm honestly so over the planning though. I'm at the point where whatever gets done gets done and if it doesn't then oh well. It will still be a great day even if things aren't perfect.
