    Presumably you're not having orders of the day for the guests - if not, those!

    Are you having a guestbook or wedding post box or anything like that?

    Organise any money to pay suppliers on the day? eg for band if you're having one

    Otherwise can't think of anything.

    Also, might be an idea to start putting stuff in boxes for the various places eg ceremony stuff (like rings and CD of music when chosen), reception stuff (eg decorations, Mum's presents etc), honeymoon stuff (eg passports, tickets, travel details etc). I saw this as a tip somewhere and it seems like a good ideas to avoid missing stuff at the last minute, I'm going to do this in a few weeks (have 11 weeks to go).

    Ah yes, good reminder

    Guest book, card box, money for suppliers....

    I am planning on boxing things up in a few weeks I think but thanks for the tips.

    I am going to write down our to do list in marker pen on big sheets of paper and stick it next to the PC inthe spare room, constant reminders!!! I just don't want to have to do anything major (burning CDs etc) in july. I just want to relax!)

    is it really only 6 weeks for you? i guess it must be as it's only 7 for me....

    please stop posting long lists like this, they get me very stressed.

    7 blooming weeks! Scary stuff. Still have looooaaaddddss to do...

    SG - you seem to have everything pretty much underwraps there! My to do list is a heck of a lot longer. Just noticed a few things on your list that I had forgotten about so thank you! Although, now my to-do list is even longer! [:'(]

    Book appointments for bikini/leg waxing and mani/pedicure. Book early to ensure you get the times you want.

    Make sure you have some tea tree oil for stress spots, I've had a couple come up on my forehead and I'm sure it's stress/nerves. In a similar vein, a vat of Rescue Remedy, and lavendar oil is great for relaxing you.

    I've just written out a gigantic to-do list + stuck it to the wall - its got 33 goddamned things on it.

    Of which waxing is not one - I shave instead (is that grim? or a TMI?) and am having mani/pedi on the day - which is a good thing as climbing is playing havoc with my nails.

    Spots have started but luckily my mate works for the company that make Bach rescue stuff - she has promised me some!!

    <SG goes off to tackle something on her mammoth to do list - typing up the readings - cause that's easy!>

    Hated the paying for things bit!! All that handing over large amounts of my money - yuck.............

    Something that we forgot about, changing money for honeymoon. Sorted now, but it meant having to go to town on Saturday which I hadn't planned to do!! The best rates I found for US$ was online from the post office.

    Ummmm - trying to remember what I forgot......

    What I do recommend is a cattle prod - h2b seems to be doing less and less the closer it gets. Being a bit of a list/organised person, it's driving me nuts!!
