Warning! Very long, but I need to know where I stand in all this? Am I behind, ahead, what do you think?

Question by NeedAnswers: Warning! Very long, but I need to know where I stand in all this? Am I behind, ahead, what do you think?
My wedding is in February of next year and this is what I have done.

-Got all the vendors selected, except for the musician, which will be used through the church once we meet with the pastor next month.

-I bought all the accessories for my dress, including garter. I got the guest pen, (and extra pen for the guest book if the other one goes out), all the centerpieces for all the tables including decorations and lights for the head table.

-I got the flower girl petals and basket, and ring bearer pillow.

-BM’s selected their dresses and they are ordered. I already have my dress (in my parent’s closet so Fiance can’t sneak and look at it at our home.)

-I got the cake cutting set, bubbles, engraved flutes, pew clips, white pew bows (that I don’t like so I ordered purple ones online and I’m expecting them in the mail.)

-I got the usher gifts, the BM gifts, and the parent’s gifts. They are almost all wrapped, but I’m still trying to find small purple bows (our colors are violet and silver.)

-We already selected the style of cake and bought all the cake decorations and finalized with the baker.

-I got the favor boxes all picked and bought, I just gotta buy the hersheys kisses and have them done by me and the BM’s (closer to the wedding date for freshness)

-We already got our engagement photos done.

-We did our tasting for the reception and selected our meal choice and signed the catering contract.

-I got the aisle runner and I’m ordering white small umbrellas online for each person in the bridal party in case of rain/snow.

-We looked at invitations at the place we know we are going to get them, and I kind of have an idea of what I want, we whittle the choices down to 10 designs we will browse through later.

WHAT I DON’T HAVE DONE:

-I got a head start on my emergency bridal kit, but I still need to buy more stuff.

-I still don’t know the time of the ceremony/reception since I still have to meet with the pastor next month.

-I don’t know what songs I want for the DJ…or what songs I want at the ceremony.

-I want outdoor photos in the snow, but I haven’t sent photos to the photographer yet that I want.

-I am not clear on where we want the Rehearsal Dinner, or what we are going to get. I have some ideas though

-We still haven’t got tuxes, or the flower girl/ring bearer stuff, bc my fiance is dragging his feet not wanting to call his older bro to ask him to have the niece and nephew as flowergirl/ringbearer bc he doesn’t know what to say, they haven’t talked much in years and he lives super far away so it’s awkward for him, they get along but they are kinda like strangers in a way.

-I still don’t have all the addresses/phone numbers for the guest list…waiting on fiance’s mom to get all that stuff together. She said she would get it done a week ago but I realize it’s 40 people she’s gotta look up so I will be nice and give her time.

-I don’t have a spa picked out yet for my hair/makeup/nails.

-I don’t know when or how the ushers will roll out the aisle runner.

-I still need to show the florist all my decorations, tuxes, flowergirl/ringbearer outfits so she knows what to do to match the flowers…this for sure has to be done by October.

-I haven’t done any weightloss/tanning stuff yet.

-Haven’t paid off all the vendors yet, but we are making payments.

-I also still need to buy stuff to set up the icicle lights at the head table.

-Still don’t know what to do for an outline of the reception, as in, how to do the order of things, I’m thinking meal, then dance, then cake cutting. IDK?

OKAY! SO what do you think? Am I behind, ahead, what do you think? I have 10 more months until the wedding. Thanks!

I think you’re way ahead. What’s left is more of the minor stuff (other than paying vendors, but that’s ongoing).

Oh…and and you might want to add marriage license to your to-do list 🙂
