    Wow, that looks like a lot of stuff! But is probably the amount of stuff I will have left to do at the 6 weeks mark ;-)

    It all looks totally do-able - If I were you I would start with the 'buying' tasks; just spend half an hour on your computer buying stuff online and then you can cross a load of stuff off! Buying stuff always makes me feel better and more organised!

    This lovely lady has made not only my flower girl wand but my 'bridey' wand too (some of us just don't know how to grow up gracefully!) - I'd really recommend her!

    Hi,

    I would also say that you need to get on with the things that will take the most time - e.g. getting the ring re-sized.

    Obviously, getting the little things and making sure that they arrive in time is important but stuff like seating planning can take more time than you think and the last thing you want is loads of stress in the final week or two.

    As others have said, the list looks do-able so good luck with it all Smiley laugh

    Dont panic, the list seems long, but most of it is just those 'fun' finishing touches, and buying/paying for a few more supplies. My list is a similar length, and I get married in early April too. I am panicking too, but as people keep telling me, most of the big stuff is sorted and it will all be fine.

    As another poster said, do a load of your buying tasks in one go and you'll feel like you've done loads! Then some of your 'crafty' tasks you can think of as something to while away a few hours in front of the telly with a couple of evenings a week.

    good luck!

    Now list them in terms of what needs doing first, what can wait and what doesn't matter too much if it doesn't get done then sit down and do them - I agree, get the buying of stuff out of the way first and go from there. Sooo looking forward to your report slou!!!
