Still to-do....

[~*petals*~]

Well I'm a little more than 5 months away from my wedding and I have tons of ideas still floating around in my head along with lots of questions still unanswered by the wedding coordinator....

 

Feeling a little overwhelmed since I've been engaged almost a year and somehow I still have so much left to do.

 

January will be a busy month for me and there's still a lot left for me to do.... thinking maybe if I make a list, it might help organize my brain a little bit.

 

To do very soon

 

Print & assemble invitations

 

Send invitations

 

Make appointment with seamstress to see about alterations (I'm about 2-3 sizes bigger on the bottom than up top)

 

To do sometime soon

 

Decide whether we'll pay $500/hr to have the steel drum band play at our ceremony.

 

Decide whether we'll do iPod/speakers at reception or shell out another $500/hr for the steel drum band.

 

Figure out whether to do fake flowers or wing it with the hotel package. If fakes, decide on bridesmaid bouquets, etc.

 

Get bridesmaids to buy their dresses.

 

Get FI to decide on a wedding band. (Already picked mine out)

 

Decide on wedding day hair & makeup.

 

Figure out what to do for centerpieces.

 

Find a veil and/or hair flower.

 

Create registries.

 

Still up in the air

 

Once RSVPs come in, figure out if we have budget to do OOT bags for everybody.

 

Decide on bridal party gifts.

 

Make programs and/or fans.

 

Possible photoshare cards.

 

Possible pre-departure newsletter/brochure

 

Decide what fun activity to do the day before the wedding, while the photographers are still with us.

 

Figure out ceremony details, like whether we'll have a sand ceremony, etc.

 

 

And to make myself feel better.... here's stuff that's
