Good Morning Ladies,
Well we now have 8 weeks to go and my list of things to do looks like this:
- meet with the organist to finalise music in and out of the church and for signing the register
- send details from above meeting to vicar who is completing order of service
- finalise arragements with the lady who does the church flowers
- sort a present for my parents (hosting + paying for majority of the wedding)
- sort bouquets out for my two aunties who will of set the rooms up, made bouquets and dress alterations
- In the next few weeks I will be chasing (daytime) non-rsvp's
- Finalise seating plan + make table plan board (bought a metal heart memo board which I'm using)
- write out place cards
- Hair Trial and Hair cut (booked for the week before the wedding)
- Groom Haircut
- Double check arrangments with transport + times
- final numbers to venue
- finish kids activity packs
- pick up table mats - we are having a poster with Mr and Mrs and our new surname the date and a cartoon bride and groom on - I do love these - this was the venues suggestion as there only table mats are dark blue, they are very elegant but don't match our cream and pink theme
- buy mine and bridesmaid shrug - picked out the ones we want just need to order them
- put table decorations together ready to be transported to the venue the day before
- first dance music + any music requests (to play and don't play!) to the DJ.
- make up favour boxes
- Hen night x 2 (night out with everyone and weekend away with the older generation) and Stag night
- Banns Read at church - first time is 28th of July, then 5th August and 12th August
- Make "guestbook" - bought a giant blank canvas to put a photo of myself and OH in centre and then a load of pens for people to write messages on then this will be coated and put up on our wall at home
- Nag OH, my dad and best man enough to make sure their speeches are done!!
- Final dress fittings
- "Essential" shot fittings to photographer
- Evening Reception - to give them our final decisions on hot buffet food, double check what time bar closes and times for setting up
i'm sure theres more but never mind, to all you super organised brides out there you are probably horrified at my list but we only set the date at end of March beginning of April and its been full steam ahead since then.
I feel confident that we'll get this all done soon xx
