I knew we still had a lot left to do, but good grief, we are pretty far behind, at least per the checklist. Here are the things that we should have done by now:
- Start thinking about stationery/wedding invites (in the July - September list)
- Select and book florist
- Select and book caterer
- Send out save the dates
- Order invites (in the October list)
- Select and order bridesmaids dresses
- Select and order baker for cake
- Register for wedding gifts
- Book transportation
- Book honeymoon
- Take engagement photos
Holy smokes! What the hell have we been doing?
To be honest, we're pretty close on florist, caterer and save the dates. And I'm planning to ask my creative guys at the agency design our invites, so no stress there. I'm waiting on spring on the bridesmaids dresses, for the brighter colors to come out, we're planning on doing cake stuff in January and registry in February. And we already told our photographers that we'd prefer to do our engagement shoot in the spring.
So I shouldn't feel so bad....right?
Still..looking at this list and thinking about what we have to do gives me a mini panic attack every time! Ahhhhhhhh!
I don't see why some of that stuff is on the fall list to be honest - just my opinion! We did the programs over the holidays in 2006 and got married 3 months later, so you have PLENTY of time! Your tastes may change anyway...so no need to rush!
ReplyDeleteYou have time. No need to stress. The items on the check-list are just to help you keep track of what needs to be done. The time frame is flexible. ;-)

Don't worry Carla - we're definitely not stressing over the list. Just feeling like a bunch of slackers :)
