Time is flying. Really, f-l-y-i-n-g. I don’t really know if I’m surprised to see it going this quickly, but it’s hard to believe that we’re nearly at our half-way point. So here is our four month status report and to-do list:
In the next week:
- Send out those save-the-dates that keep finding excuses to not be mailed. This is it for them: crunchtime. They WILL be mailed before the end of the week. (It’s about time really!)
- Book a hotel room for after the wedding/the wedding after-party
- Have our engagement photos taken
- Send thank you cards for my bridal shower gifts
From now until the end of June:
- Find a minister…
- Plan the honeymoon (this is Kail’s project)
- Work on maps, directions, hotel accommodations and entertainment for guests (to be included in the invitations)
- Buy Kail’s wedding band
- Finalize what the groomsmen are wearing
- Decide on and buy the cake
- Gather addresses for invitations
- Figure out the rehearsal dinner situation
- Design a wedding website that our guests can begin to visit
- Decide on a cake
- Budget out final expenses: flowers, photography, hotel rooms…
- Work on our guestbook
During the months of July and August:
- July's theme of the month: invitations. Print all invitation materials, get everything folded and assembled and address envelopes. Mail them!
- Centerpiece check: re-pack the boxes to make unpacking and decorating as efficient as possible.
- Finish working on wedding programs
- Have my dresses altered...
- Figure out what I'm going to do with [the disaster that is] my hair and makeup.
June is going to be very busy…I will have to combine this all with two different sets of training at work, a week-long symposium and a week of Kail being out of town. Not to mention Diana’s graduation weekend, our continuing pre-marriage counseling classes and a seminar at Kail’s new academy… I feel like it will be July before I know it. At least 4th of July stacks up to make a 3-day weekend this year.
