10 DAYS LEFT!!! EEEEK!

LavenderJoy, on September 2, 2014 at 7:04 PM Posted in Do It Yourself 0 12

Wowww! I can't believe it is now days before our wedding! We checked a few things off our to-do list today!

- Got our Marriage License

- Made final venue payment and did final walk through

- Made final payment for Cake

STILL NEED TO:

- Do Centerpieces

- Finish & Print Place Cards

- Print, Cut, and glue paddle sticks to programs for "Fan Programs"

- Finish Bridesmaids DIY gifts bags

- Buy bridal panties (Weird right? LOL) I bought a bra from Davids Bridal when I got my dress but no panties

- Buy tie & shirt for RB

- Buy shoes for FG and RB

- Buy FG rose petal basket --> Any idea where I can get this beside Davids Bridal? They were $35 in DB which I thought was a tad pricey!

What do my date twins and other September brides left to do? :-)

    Wow 10 days! Doesn't seem like you have much left which is good. Although I'm sure it feels like a lot.

    I have 18 days! I still need to pay 2 vendors who don't want their payment til day of so I'll give that to my coordinator

    - get music to dj

    -package the favors

    - get bms gifts together

    -waiting for programs to be printed and delivered

    - I need bridal panties too!! Didn't even think about this until your post

    I feel like I'm missing something

    What an awesome thing to cross off your list. My FH and I got our license today too!! Almost there, have to pick up my dress this weekend, my memorial candle DIY, and bathroom baskets maybe. I also have to sort and organize everything so nothing gets left behind day of! My how time has flown this last month or so!

    I've got 4 days!! I still need to write out seating cards (totally avoiding it lol), finish a few spur of the moment diy's, and pack everything up for my doc! It's getting real!! Oh and pick up my rings! They're getting soldered. For FG baskets, look at michaels, hobby lobby, or Joann's...I got mine at hobby lobby and used a 40% off coupon on my phone Smiley winking

    I am 24 days away and I am still fighting people for RSVP's. Come on people...you have known about this wedding for a year now and received save the dates in March...I mean come on you either know you are coming or you don't... why the heck mess with this girls patience? I am losing it. Don't tell me you need a day to think about it. I needed to know yesterday. I am about to go bridezilla.

    Heyyyyy date twin! We still have one weekend to go, and I plan to use it well.

    I still have to do final meeting with photographer, call/email some vendors to confirm times (cake, MUA, etc).

    I have to buy officiant's gift

    buy ring bearer shoes

    organize my piles of stuff into boxes

    meet with my unofficial DOC to go over how things should be set up

    Print a few more signs

    I honestly just picked up a nice looking basket from goodwill for my FG. It isn't white, just nice wicker and was only $3.

    @Heidi B- I feel your pain! Just post something a little snarky on FB like "I just love all the RSVPs we are getting in the mail". I bet you"ll get an influx of rsvps. It worked for me. LOL

    @Jenn...FutureMrsF- Thanks! I have a coupon for Joann's so maybe I can find it there!

    Ah! It's almost time!

    The only things I have left to do are:

    Have my third dress fitting (tomorrow)

    Pick out cake stand (tonight)

    and finish up itineraries!

    FH and I paid all of the vendors off over the weekend! Whoo!!!

    Date twin!! I kind of let my mom take over the planning for me! I don't live in town so she's been going to the final meetings with vendors to make the final decisions. Thank God for her! I hate being out of town because there a few things I can't do until I get into town for the wedding!

    -Print programs and attach handle for program fans

    -Finish up the itineraries

    -Get music list to the band (still need to decide father/daughter and mother/son songs)

    -Create welcome bags for OOT guests (will do when I get into town next week)

    -Get marriage license (can't do that until the 10th because I live out of state)

    -Get BMs gifts together (I'm hoping the bags come in in time!)

    -I think we need one more cake stand

    -Order popcorn for the popcorn bar

    -Get all of the wedding stuff I have in Houston packed to bring to Louisiana

    -Finalize ceremony readings with officiant
