{time for the countdown}


Ready for a progress report? The good news is, well according to my wedding planning checklists at least, I am pretty much right on schedule! There’s a few things here and there that I’m working on and probably should finish up soon, but all in all, I think since most checklists span an entire year, and we’ve only been engaged for a little more than a month, and I’ve had to catch up to the “six months before” column, I’m doing really good.

Here is my to-list:

ASAP to-do:

  1. Plan an engagement dinner (probably just for parents, families and local attendants… I might even host this myself!)
  2. Research and book a photographer (this is in process right now, I’m just hammering out details)
  3. Narrow down the guest list
  4. Send save-the-dates (this is my weekend project for March 21!)
  5. And on the groom’s to-do: Start planning our honeymoon (hooray!)

Over-the-next-month-or-so to-do:


  1. Start our pre-wedding counseling
  2. Book officiants
  3. Finish designing print materials: invitations, response cards, directions/maps, programs, menu cards, place cards…
  4. Go for tastings (yay!) with our caterer and baker
  5. Find a wedding band for Kail (aww!)
  6. Figure out what Kail and the groomsmen will be wearing

Small projects to remember to keep working on:

  1. Find a second dress (I think I might be able to check this off on Friday!!!)
  2. Find and order a flower hairpiece for me and the flowergirl
  3. Find a flowergirl dress
  4. Figure out hair/make-up and jewelry situation
  5. Have engagement photos taken

I'm feeling so ambitious...
