Zippy - in here for my to do list!

Houdini, 18 May, 2010 at 08:39 Posted on Planning 0 16

Hello! Still fancy comparing?!

Dress - still isn't in the country...

Flower girl dresses - as above...

Flower girl shoes

Groom shirt (he has one but needs to try it on still as he wants 2 so he can change for the evening)

Groom shoes

Favours - actually finish them! Need to put the bits in the boxes, make the tags, tie the ribbons etc...

Tog / Vog / Venue meeting

Table plan - just needs printing when guests all confirmed

Place names - the lady who made these has disappeared off the face of the earth and I have 5 more I need printing or need to get them all redone!

Candles for centre pieces

Table name holders

Gifts for people - ushers / best men / parents / nan

And I think that's about it... Will add / edit as appropriate.

How's your list looking?

    Dress - in my wardrobe, got first fitting on June 19th and I have got fat Smiley sad I can't get motivated to lose weight or go to the gym either which is no good Smiley sad

    Groom and Groomsmen suits have been ordered - they come in the shop in July and have a fitting then. Pageboy still needs to be measured.

    Bridesmaid dresses need to be made, but CBM now has fabric and all the measurements

    Mens cravats still need to be made and not sure if we have enough fabric!

    Groom shoes and nephew usher shoes and pageboy shoes

    Having a panic that my shoes will be uncomfortable but still not bothered to get them out and walk about in them!

    Still waiting on loads of RSVPs but deadline is still way off!

    Need gifts for ushers, best man and parents

    Need to order sweets for favour boxes

    Need to make confetti cones

    Need to finish making order of service sheets, h2b has them printed, just waiting on me to finish making the outers

    Need to make the table number cards - got the holders from ebay, can let you know the seller if you want.

    Haven't even started thinking about table plan yet

    Guess I need to pull my finger out!!!

    Edited to add that we still have another tog meeting and venue meeting as well

    So our lists aren't looking too dissimilar then, at least that's reassuring!

    I've been steadily putting on weight too recently but can't get the motivation to put the chocolate down! My dress was ordered in a size 8 and don't think I'm anywhere near that anymore!

    We only have 28 RSVP's to come back, around half of the guests replied within a week which is handy. We'd sent out STD'd anyone so it's unlikely we'll have any day time 'no' replies, am hoping for some in the evening though as we have about 200 people in the evening!!

    Right, at least now I have a list I can make a start on ticking things off. I think favours are the next thing to tackle. And then hunting down my dress! ?

    I am very reassured that our lists are really similar. I can't find that sellers details right now, as ebay only store won items for 60 days!! I will see if I have any details with the item when I get home.
