- Design your wedding programs - Still working on this...I keep changing my design.
- Apply for your marriage license - Taking off from work early to take care of this today. It didn't dawn on me to do this last week when I took an entire day off work to do the final walk through and take care of other wedding business.
- Have a final gown fitting - Scheduled
- Choose all of your wedding accessories - You know...somtimes I just like to procrastinate. Really, I'm waiting for the final fitting so I can see how it looks together
- Visit your hair stylist, work on a style with your veil - Already had this taken care of back in May.
- Visit your make-up artist the same day - see line above.
- Hair & make-up done, have your formal bridal portraits done - Uh, sorry, I ain't a Southern belle.
- Discuss and finalize details with wedding service providers - Leaving this up to our planner.
What we've been up to for the last month:
WeI found the last tie for the groomsmen. It took me 5 Macy's, but it's DONE. Also, we found pocket squares, too!- We celebrated Jake's birthday. It was very low key this year, just friends hanging out with food and board games; exactly what Jake wanted.
- Finished project flower girl basket
- We hung out with family for 4th of July and stuffed our belly's full of food.
- We "celebrated" our 4th dating anniversary. In that I mean we watched fireworks from our living room in a half sleepy state. Jake said "Happy anniversary" and I grunted "uh huh."
- I found out that I'm [VERY] lactose intolerant. I thought it was gluten for awhile. Thank god it's not. But going dairy-free is so much harder than going gluten-free, especially when I'm a cupcake baker!
- I started crocheting a baby blanket (not for me). - I am either hella crazy or beyond insane...I started it on 7/14 and want to finish it before the wedding. Just to drive home how much of a nut job I am, I've had to restart it 2.5 times!
- We had an AMAZING Jack and Jill shower. I will recap this way later, but I can't even begin to tell you how much excitement was in the air. No words can describe the feeling of being surrounded by family and friends who love and support us unconditionally.
- We had a final walk through with planner, caterer, and venue coordinator
WeI designed and ordered our thank you cards for the shower. I totally outsourced this project for the most part.- Completed project table numbers!
- Ordered a bow tie for my dad! I also picked one up for our ring bearer. If he wears it, it'll be SUPER adorable. If he doesn't, no biggie.
- Found a leotard for our flower girl. We'll let her and her mom worry about shoes and tights. Although, it might be a bit hot for tights.
- Finalized gifts for the bridesmaids. We are no where near as creative and personalized with our gift giving as others are. If anything, we are practical. While we are gifting the ladies hair and make-up services, I also wanted to get them something physical, something that they could keep and use. It's only fair, the guys get almost an entire outfit.
Now for the personal to-do list:
- Menus - they have been designed and redesigned. Now they just need to be redone in Adobe Illustrator (I started them in PowerPoint). They still need to be printed and assembled.
- Cardbox - I told myself by the end of the June...it's now the end of July. This was redesigned to make it way easier. I kind of outsourced part of it.
- Chair signage - do we even need signage? seriously?
- Welcome packages for out of town guests -I mean what welcome packages? No one is getting anything. Almost done!
- Communicate with our photog and cinematog what photos/moments MUST be captured.
- Seating chart - almost done, just waiting for the last of the rsvp's to roll in.
- Super secret wedding stuff - Almost there!
- Ring bearer pillow - so close to being finished
- Signage for guestbook and other things.
- Escort cards - I actually started these the other night.
- Put together ceremony
- Finalize with the florist
- Finalize
drunk busshuttle service to pick up guests from the reception and take them back to the hotel - Choose our wedding music and share your selections with your Band or DJ - We are meeting with Max, our DJ, tonight!
