Not too much left to do now

sorting the cermonoy bits today, have to submit it online for the registras to approve

do the rounds and pay everyone, venue, transport, dress aterations, additional venue flowers, table runners and registra

Alterations for my dress and BM dresses

Buy shoes for little BM's (not till September as still growing)

Buy presents for mums, have no idea what to get them

I have another mini hen do on the 8th Sept where me and a couple of close freinds are having a bit of a pamper day and having my hair cut and coloured.

Last Suit fitting for OH and mainly for his son as we ordered the hire of them in February, this is to be done in the next two weeks

List of wanted phots to TOG

List of wanted songs for evening to DJ (venue)

Go and see OUR cake on the Thursday before the wedding

Then just the final bits, finishing the table names, table plan and menu's but I need the off cuts from the BM's dresses to do this, they are all printed and ready to be finished.

Cannot believe how the last fews weeks have passed so quickly. I think I am in control.

I think your list is pretty normal, especially with a church wedding as well. Ours is all in one place so easy really and as it was a package we just had to pick it so its down to the venue to ensure everything arrives, but I am checking with all the suppliers to make sure they have arranged what we wanted.
