Make invitations
Get BM's re-measured and get their dresses ordered - (b@stards at KayAnn's Bridal which went bankrupt and took everyone's deposit)
Re-pay for my dress and find a seamstress to do alterations - (Again, B@STARDS)
Get GM's measured and order kilts
Purchase wedding insurance
Flowers
Favors
Figure out how I'm going to do my hair and makeup.
Limos
Make my veil
Figure out what kind of headpiece I want.
LOSE WEIGHT!
Figure out where I want to go after the wedding (we're putting off our honeymoon until next year)
Take engagement pictures (It seems WAY too late for this, but the photographer wanted to wait),
Speak to the church's music director about music for the ceremony.
Get ideas together for the wedding cake.
Finalize the plans for the wedding cake.
Shop for and purchas wedding rings.
Purchase Bridal Party gifts
Purchase shoes, undergarments, stockings, garters, etc.
Make ring pillow
Purchase unity candle, toasting flutes, guestbook
Purchase leaves for tossing at the church
Plan rehearsal dinner
Prepare OOT welcome baskets
Prepare a must take photo list
Prepare a Do Not Play list for DJ
Prepare a Must Play list for DJ
Make programs
Make votive placecards
Host BM luncheon (I think I'm going to make this a pizza party or something cheezy)
Finalize menus, song selections, etc.
Get marriage license
Confirm final payments, schedule, pick up times, head counts, etc.
Create "wedding box" to hold everything needed for the day
Prepare day of emergency kit
Prepare tips for each vendor in envelopes

I have a lot of other odds and ends to finish up, but these are the ones I have to, have to remember.



Okay, so my engagement pictures are scheduled for June 11th. I think this is hysterical, because we go engaged 19th of June last year! It should be called my "Year Anniversary of my Engagement Shoot"!!

Goodness, goodnes.

I forgot centerpieces! We started talking about them last night, and I almost lost my mind! Everyone had different ideas. I don't know what to do. (A little over six months left!!!!!)

I don't know yet. I think we're going to have to bite the bullet and break down and get a professional involved.

Unless you have the spare time and are super creative, I say go for a florist. There are plenty of reasonable florists out there… check with a local one even. You can do a very simple bubble vase with a dozen or so roses in them to keep the price low. Or… you can just get pillar candles, stick them in a hurricane lamp and put a bunch of votives around it…. that’s a super low cost alternative!

Re: Calling November Brides

The hurricane lamp is actually a really good idea. Thanks!
I wanted to do something Autumn inspired (Pumpkins/Harvest).

Thanks... I'm actually thinking of doing the hurricane lamps (2) for the "sweetheart table". my bo-k will already be there, and since it's a small table, I can't imagine spending more than I already am. We'll see.
