3 months to go - how organised were/are you?

You are far more organised than I was with 3 months to go! My excuse was that we needed to get Christmas out of the way... but then that only left us 2 months to get lots done. For us it worked out really well though - we just sorted a 'to do' list and logically worked through it, gradually ticking stuff off (ooohh I do love a list!!).

Just under 4 months to go for me and still have the following left to do:

Gifts for bridal party

OH needs to order his ring

OOS

Choose a reading for the church

Choose my underwear

Sort out honeymoon (probably doing after were married now having a mini moon tho)

Pay off balance for cars, cake and flowers.

Favours

Wish tree (getting from Lillypond)

I think thats about it.

We are getting there actually just under 10 weeks to go for us..

Most things are organised although my OH sacked his bestman so I guess we have to sort something out there! ?

Paying off the balances slowly though as I am worried that 4 weeks before it will be a massive bill!

Today I paid off the chair covers and our reception venue! ?

Argh I was reading this post thinking 3 months isn't long... then looked at my ticker and it says 3 months 1 week ? where is the time going!!

Still have the following to do;

Meet with venue/registar/photographer/flowers to finalise things... and give more money (boo)

Still waiting for THE call about my dress... can't wait now! I didn't want it to happen as was dieting but now I'm nearly at my goal so desperate to see what it looks like!

Have ordered tiaras today so need to choose one, also need to order veil

Need BM shoes ... my shoes have also arrived but currently at post office

Hair/Make up trial

Put labels on favour boxes/make table plan/table names/postbox

Collect my ring ... get ER resized as its now to big!

Sure I've missed stuff off ?

Feels like time is just flying by! Think once I try on my dress it'll feel more 'real'

Jay -Low, You are my date twin... I too have three months to go today.

We have been pretty super busy up until now:

Left to do:

OH Shoes

Pay Balance for small reception meal

Buy food and drink for evening party

Pay balance on horses. - however to get everything done by now I have had to invoke Bridezilla on some occasions!

Good luck Hon (and all you other beautiful brides! )?

9 weeks to go and not much to do tbh.

- finalise details with venue (pay balance)

- pre wedding shoot with TOG and finalise details (pay balance)

- hair/make up trials

- final meeting with registrar

- final dress fittings

- finalise flowers (pay balance)

That's it I think, other than pick stuff up like rings, dresses, suits etc.

Woohoo - finally found a date twin! You sound very organised. Good luck with the rest of the planning
