My completed list....

-AHR invites (I made these with my mom and a couple bridesmaids and I am SUPER happy with how they came out!!)

-DW STDs sent

-10 rooms booked

-Flights for FI and I booked

-Honeymoon week booked

-Dress ordered

-OOT bags & towels purchased

-BM dresses purchased

 

I've decided that next week is going to be a DIY week so I can work on luggage tags, OOT bag tags, hopefully figure something out flower wise  and hopefully attempt to make some luminaries!

 

I completely agree that planning an AHR and DW is like planning 2 weddings!! Luckily I found a lot of the decor for the AHR at Target in the Christmas Decor 90% clearance!!! I love a good bargain!

Where did you order your towels from?!  I just ordered my bags last night from Lands End, thinking I may not have enough room for towels but i'm curious anyways...

Hi Starfish0512!!  Thanks!!  I'm surprised how much I have done....Dress is on the "Show us your dress", I'll put it in here too...easier to find it...We have 60ish on the GL, hoping to have about 40 coming...fingers crossed!!!

I actually didn't order them...I raided Target They were perfect sized and the perfect color 2 for $5 this spring so I went for it! We have a family friend who does embroidery so we will be using her. I love Lands End totes!!! We went with the canvas bags from the dollartree to save a few $$ but I love mine!

2 for $5 !!!!!  Missed opportunity. What a great deal!  I also missed the dollartree tote bags ...  I only have to make 9 bags so it allows me to splurge a little bit extra.  I was able to get med canvas totes at $13 a piece, couldn't pass it up!

That is a fabulous deal!! $15!! WOW I got the towels in March so they will likely go on sale again the same time next year, if not check frequently around the end of august/sept. after the back to school inventory is clearanced, they have really cute towels there now that I'm sure will end up being a great deal!
