October brides...what's left?

Now that it is coming down to the 3 month mark, I'm starting to panic that I'm going to forget something major. How are all the other October brides out there doing?
What do you all have left to do?

I still have to:
order favors
pick readings and ceremony music
order programs
order bubbles or birdseed (haven't decided)
order tuxes
dress fittings
finalize menu, dj list, photographer must-take photo list
put together cry packs, bm gifts, lotto ticket favors

ok, that's all I can think of for now. Anyone else?

Re: October brides...what's left?

OMG - I didn't order the invites yet!



and I called about the BM dresses and they won't be in until Sept... is that bad?

Re: October brides...what's left?

I still have the following to do:

Order favors
Order wedding programs
schedule rehersal
pick music
pick readings
order tuxes
dress fittings
dj list
photographer must-take list
pick grooms gifts
rings
honeymoon?

I think that is it.

Re: October brides...what's left?

So much left I don't even want to think about it. Atleast all the vendors are booked and I'll be ordering invitations on monday.

Re: October brides...what's left?

I have a list up at work that literally is titled "Crap that still needs to get done for the wedding." There are 14 more unfinished things, and I didn't even include things like --choose readings/music for church, placecards, UGH!

We're ordering invites this Friday :)

It's really getting down to crunch time. That will get my butt (and fh's butt) into gear!
We're getting so excited, even though there are brief moments of stress at all the little details still left to do.....

Re: October brides...what's left?

Well, there are a lot of little things I need to do, but the major ones are:

-finish invites & send
-find veil, hair jewels and shoes
-find BM shoes
-decide on all ceremony elements (readings, music etc...)
-buy FH gift!!!
-buy parents gifts (what are you all getting them??? I'm lost on this one)
-finish designing programs, menus, table names and escort cards
-create photo list
-create playlist for band (and decide on a first dance song)
-have additional meetings with florist, photographer, reception site and priest

I know there's more, but those are on the top of my ever expanding list!!!
