I figured since it''s now fall, it''d be a good time for updates. Some of us are 8 months out! What do you have done, and what''s left to do? What wedding plans are you working on during the rest of the year?
Done:
-Venue booked
-Ceremony site and officiant (a friend) booked (same place as reception)
-Dress bought
-Shoes/jewelry/veil/accessories bought
-Make up artist booked
-DJ booked
-BM''s dresses picked out (narrowed down to two; we''ll be going to try them on in January)
-STD''s sent, invites picked out
-Registries created
-Photographer booked
-WB''s picked, will be bought around Christmas
-Hotels picked (block will be made in January since the hotels only book 6 months out)
-Honeymoon locale picked out, will be booked in February due to finances (we''re using our tax returns for the honeymoon)
-All music selections picked (first dance, BP intro, mother/son, father/daughter, cake cutting, bouquet toss, etc) for reception and ceremony
-Favors are most likely going to be handmade seed packets, but that''s up in the air right now
-GM and groom attire picked out
-Bachlorette/bach party location picked
-Addresses gathered
-Many DIY projects (cake topper, reserved for family signs for ceremony, signature drink cards, maps to reception location, Mr and Mrs chair signs for the reception location, aisle runner)
For us, we finalized the cake with the baker a few weeks ago (just have to email her the picture). Consultation with florists is next weekend. FIL''s are coming up as well to see the venue (they live in NC, and haven''t been up to see the venue yet). Sometime this month, mom and I are going to pick out her dress. We''re waiting on a call back from a local hotel for block prices. BM''s dress shopping is scheduled for January. I''m also going to order all of the stationary then, too (invites, placecards, pocketfolds). We''re going to put a deposit down before Christmas for my WB, which will be custom made. FI has to make his final decision on what WB he likes. Hair and makeup trials will be scheduled in December (my stylist does not have her ''10 books yet). I still have to figure out BM accessories, and will be writing the ceremony during winter break from school.
So where are you? Typing out what''s left is making me overwhelmed, lol!!!!
