Three Months

No I haven't fallen off the face of the earth, some how my blog fell to the back burner, and really it isn't the end of the world, but I am back, more importantly my colleague is back from vacation and I can breath again. I continue to work on wedding stuff and we are exactly three months away from go time.


What's Done:

  • I have a dress (still needs to be fitted)
  • Church and reception hall are reserved
  • Pastor - picked (complicated when many of your friends are ordained)
  • Caterer - automatic when you get the reception hall
    • food tasted (seriously this is the best job ever - I would love to do this every night for dinner)
  • Cake - person selected now to pick out an exact design
  • Photographer - Fiances uncle and a friend
  • Hair appointments - reserved for bridesmaids and me
  • DJ - Fiance's uncle 
  • Rehearsal Dinner 
    • space reserved (at a camp I co-direct in my spare time)
    • menu planned
  • Guest book figured out
  • save the dates sent
  • children's bulletins made
  • centerpieces done
  • reserve transportation for post wedding/ pre-reception 
  • Bridesmaid dresses (ordered and several of them have picked them up)
  • Invitations
    • I just picked up at the printer this past week
    • envelopes are addressed, stamped, and return address on them
    • invites are stuffed into envelopes
    • will be mailed out just after Easter

TO DO:
  • Groom, Groomsmen, Ushers tuxes 
    • picked but now we need them all to turn in their measurements
  • set up golf outing for the guys
  • Mail invitations 
  • make bridesmaid gifts
  • figure out groomsmen gifts
  • figure out usher's gifts
  • Make food for rehearsal dinner
    • this can't be done until later
  • Flowers
    • have a date set with the florist to look at flowers and pick them and all that happy jazz




What am I missing?

  2. Oh my goodness, there us just so much to do! Since I didn't do the whole big wedding thing I'm always curious as to how I would have handled all of this stuff! I have a suspicion I would have had a major meltdown or two and then probably run away and gotten married in Aruba anyways!

    Congratulations on getting so much done, it sounds like you got a lot of the harder stuff out of the way already!
