August wedding... what have you left too do ?

Don't worry - it's not too late to still be working on a guest list.

I'd say next thing to think about is the invites. Perhaps the florist too if your having one, same for cars.

At the moment I am so caught up in the admin - writting invites, booking family hotels, all that boring stuff. I keep looking at my to-do list which has over 90 items on it and getting very scared.

If your worried you've not considered everything, this thread is helpful - it's VERY comprehensive though.

Ooohhh you have reminded me.. i have brought cake and booked honeymoon...

Your list scares me ! LOL X

Forgot to add, don't stress you have plenty of time... as Kayl said the guest list is a good place to start next, that will give you an idea for how many invitations to order/make

Thanks Thats our job for this weekend ! One thing at a time i suppose nad hopefully it will all come together x

Don't let a list scare you! :o) I find lists help me feel more in control, but that's just me if I don't it all goes running round and round my head and drives me nuts! - plus I get a kick out of ticking something off - yes I am aware that this wedding has driven me nuts!

I'm the same Pheonix - my list stops me worrying about things, as I know if it's written down it'll get done (eventually).

My list also is by importance / expected date of completion so I have jobs to be completed each month - again, just makes it more managable.
