My list:

- I got ALL of print stuff back, so now just putting everything together, scoring & tying the programs to fans, rounding the corners of the playing cards I made, etc...

- Finish up our ceremony script!! (the ONE thing FI has been falling behind on)

- Start writing my vows

- Contact everyone about speaking at the ceremony

- ... I know there's more, but I'll do it next week, this weekend is going to be for fun

 

 

Tonight I will be cleaning the crap out of my house... since the ladies are coming by my place tomorrow for the Stagette... not to mention it's exactly ONE WEEK until FI & I take posession of our new house!! So next week will be so much packing... wow.

1. print and assemble menu cards

2. play lists

3. find cheap pashmina's in china town

4. go to mac and get them to help me look like a victoria secret supermodel just in case the makeup artist isn't that great at the resort

5. make sure everyone who is saying a few words at the reception knows they are

6. paint the flower girls tops (still have to get the fabric paint)

7. a few more odds and ends for the boys OOT bags

8. get more LED tea lights....(any thoughts as to wear to get them in Canada ladies??? We got some at target but I won't be able to cross the border this weekend)

Mocha, it looks like you have a lot, but it looks like a lot of what you have is smaller stuff...  Try not to stress too much!!

 

Brandy, when is your AHR??

 

Tris, I'm so glad you received all of your paper stuff!  Oh, and moving next week... good luck girl!!

 

My weekend list....

 

I'm getting toether with my girls tomorrow night, it could be my bachelorette party, I'm not sure (again, they are surprising me)...

Find a glue gun and possible put together my name cards.

Do a little shopping for some additional clothes.

Make sure all of my OOT Bag stuff is purchased and ready to go!

Find out where the heck my sandals are that I ordered on etsy...if I can get the girl to ever respond.  (I should probably look for new sandals, why are my wedding shoes such an issue????????)

 

That's it for this weekend.  I have two more after this though...This weekend is basketball filled but locally, next weekend is basketball filled, but at the other end of the state so it's a weekend trip...that I'm not sure I'll be attending with FI and SS.

Oh, by the way... I have started my planning thread.
