  • Winding Down…

    As the date gets closer and closer, I find myself with less and less things to do for the wedding.  Aside from confirming every vendor, I barely have anything left to do! 

    At the moment, my to-do list looks like this:

    • Wait for programs, escort cards, menus and table cards to be delivered. 
    • Make petal cones.
    • Write out the responsibilities and schedules to hand out at the rehearsal dinner for bridal party and family (I think this is very important since everyone will need to be at different places at different times, and I certainly do not want to receive phone calls asking me where they are supposed to be). 
    • Confirm “must play” and “do not play” list with the DJ.
    • Final hair touch up – scheduled.
    • OOT gift bags for the 3 rooms that we actually booked – already bought, just need to throw into a box.
    • Bathroom kits – already bought, just need to throw into a basket.
    • Final dress fitting one week before the wedding.
    • Create a “must take” photo list, including family portraits.
    • Purchase: evening bag, dad’s tie, roses for petal cones, ring bearer’s gift, new hole punch for my story (?), Minnie/Mickey Mouse for the guest book table (don’t ask).
    • Put together favors.
    • Make a money/gift box.

    Not too bad, huh?

    When I make the petal cones and the money box, I will be posting it up.  Although, I gotta say, for the money box I will just be getting a large shoe box and covering it up with nice wedding wrapping paper.  I saw a ton of money boxes online selling for over $35, and I just could not bring myself to buy it. 

    Oh, and one last item to do on my list:  get my wedding band resized.  I’m going to Fortunoff today to get it done.  Every item I check off of my list makes the wedding feel more concrete!  EEEEK – I’m getting married!!!
