Small details

TWO MONTHS OUT.

Woo to all the October brides and grooms of 2017!

What are some small details that are easily forgotten during the planning process? I'm wrapping up my planning pretty much, and I just want to see other peoples experiences.

    I've been pretty thoughtful about my list, and then got all stressed remembering:

    - I need to pick up my dress two days before - 45 mins out of the way, as well as get my eyebrows and lip waxed, drop our dogs off, etc, going to take a lot of planning around, and I have a half day at work

    - We have to transport all our decor clothes welcome bags etc and we can't fit it in one car so we may need to drive to and from our venue separately Smiley sad

    - idk where to get food for the BP for getting ready

    Nothing major. Don't forget to get your marriage license!

    I feel like I should be thanking whoever created the weddingwire checklist. Such a big help, especially with the explanations. And great idea with the getting ready outfits. Writing that down lol.

    I'm gonna wait until the end of August instead of September like the checklist says. Court houses annoy the crap out of me, to be honest and I would rather be a little early on that thing in particular.

    Another thing that I keep forgetting are dance classes! Otherwise it'll look like my fiance is dancing with a tree.

    Done! Granted, I don't have to plan a reception, but photographer, transportation, dress, groom attire, flowers, hair n makeup appt. Alteration appt, rings ordered, reservations for dinner, all done! All I need is our license. In Michigan we can't get ours until 33 days out.

    And maybe one of those dress bags to help when I use the bathroom! I feel like that'll be hard to do after a few drinks.

    We just realized we need to figure out lunch for the day-of, and we also need to get our marriage license toward the end of next month. Hoping to wrap up invitations soon! There are so many people who have moved in the last few months and we had to do a lot of updating to the address list.

    @ Meagen, I feel the invitation issues. I had done about 30 invitations, but then I realized that on the RSVP envelope I forgot to put a stamp on them. I had to rewrite them all and I wasted so many envelopes. I can't deal with myself sometimes.
