October brides, how we doing?!

I’m a nervous wreck. I’m 25 days out, the 19th. I can’t believe it! I’ve been planning for 2 years! Just have small details left and payments. Ahh!! How’s everyone else?

    25 days out for me too! i'm nervous. I almost all the big stuff done. Talking to the photographer, my good friend, Today. I met with the DJ, another friend, last night. Food set, tuxes ordered. All big stuff paid. Only big thing left is the booze and other drinks. I have to assemble the centerpieces, but not doing that until just before so nothing happens to them, same with the card box i'm making. I pick up my dress on the 11th. I have all the other minor details pretty much done...

    did realize today though that my wedding band doesn't fit...it did before and is part of a wedding set and the other part, the engagement ring fits...fingers are swollen though so i'm hoping it's just water weight....

    19 days out for me. I'm not nervous but I am driving myself crazy. I just polled my office on how place cards look when they go to weddings. Nothing good ever comes when I'm feeling this way.
    Besides that - we are doing great. FH & I are getting along great and are super excited to get married.

    Things remaining:

    Getting the final invoice from venue - we submitted the head count & totals, just waiting for them to come back.

    Paying above mentioned final invoice.

    Finishing up welcome bags - when we popped over at the hotel, I was shocked by how nice some peoples welcome bags looked, so now I'm rethinking things.

    Finishing up hotel signs

    Waiting for some things to arrive from Etsy

    Boxing everything and labeling them with notes for the venue

    Doing the final venue walk through at the venue

    Picking up my dress

    Picking up FH tux

    Probably driving myself crazy on the place cards a few more times in between.

    Continuing to debate ordering lavender rose petals from Sams for the aisle (I will probably make this decision about 10 day from the wedding).

    Packing up bridal/groom suite stuff (glasses, champagne, etc.)

    Practicing our dance.

    I'm in the 10/19/19 boat, and boy does has the excitement and anticipation grown! Thank goodness for our coordinator OH SO PURDY, at least we know all the day-of-details will be handled. Our only lingering 'issue' is the RSVPs slowly coming in, with the response deadline as 9/30. Surely, we'll be cold-calling those procrastinators next week. Smiley cry

    Decided yesterday to have hospitality bags for the out-of-town guests, so we'll see how those come together!

    The soon-to-be MR. & MRS.October brides, how we doing?! 1

    Smiley xd

    I’m 12 days away! October 5th! I’m anxious but so ready for it to be here. I feel like we have everything done, but I woke up sick yesterday. So saying I’m a little stressed is an understatement. But we’ve paid for everything and I’ve got everything packed up already! So, hopefully I can get over whatever this sickness is and my dream wedding will come together as planned 😊

    11 days for me or 12 I think it's finally starting to hit me but it will probably like 2 days when I really realize it. A lot to still get done on top of work but hey at least all of this is for something happy.

    I actually find myself to be the least stressed i've been since starting to plan. i think mostly bc we've had meetings with all the vendors and everything is laid out for the day of. we only have 23 days left. we have a couple more DIY projects but nothing major. i just can't wait for the day of. to finally have it all come together.

    October 12th here! Frankly, I'm sick of all the planning and just want it to be over with. At this point, my fiance and I feel like we are planning a huge spectacle for everyone but us,. All the big stuff is done, now it is just the last minute details that are so annoying.

    Another 10-19 here. Most stuff is done. We're waiting for suits to come back from alterations, my final fitting on the 9th, and a few things from Etsy.
    Also still picking out gifts for my "bridal party" (don't really have bridesmaids, but two of my cousins are "honorary bridesmaids" plus parents gifts) and I have one more project I'm waiting to do because I'm waiting on someone to get photos to me.
    Other than that stuff, just have to get the headcount to the venue for catering, pay the final 50%, pay for my dress alterations, and pay the rest of the cake off, and we're good to go!

    10-13 here. I'm in a strangely calm state. There is still a lot to do, but I'm just ready for the day to get here.

    However our coordinator just told us a photobooth isn't available for our date. i take this to mean she JUST NOW tried to book it. Trying to find another company to rent from. Geez
