Newlyweds, some advice for a bride to be, sorry to invade the board with a wedding question, but I am super ontime with

Sorry to come and ask this, but I have no mom or dad left to keep me ontrack with things for the wedding.
I have all the major things done but do not want to have to run around like a lunatic a few weeks to a week before the wedding.
I have the DJ, florist,clergy,favors, dress,catering hall, videographer, hairstyle and makeup picked out,Bm dresses are in the process of being ordered.
I have left to do - pick out invites, tuxes,make the photo list, do not play songs, get veil and crinolin, and out of town bags for hotel.
'I am trying to do the little things now- compile addresses, little touches for reception, out of town guest cards for hotel blocks.
What else was on your list that ended up that you forgot about until the last few weeks?????
Again, thanks for the advice in advance, and I am sorry to even post this on the newlywed side, but would appreciate any feedback, ( I promise unless it is earth shattering not to post here unless I am newly married. (9 months to go until wedding day)

sounds like you're super-organized. If you're 9 mos away...RELAX! So much cannot be done until the last month and even the last weeks.

I started my first semester of grad school when I got maried so I also did as much as I could ahead of time. It was smart for me. Good luck.
