I''m reading everyone else''s planning and I feel as if I''m in the slow lane. We just sent the deposit to the place we''re having the ceremony and reception. I had my dress started, first fitting will be in May. My bridesmaid is making our bouquets and we bought our invititations at Michael''s. That''s it. Maybe because it''s so small we haven''t done much? But I''m starting to feel panicked. So much will need to get started by June to make sure it''s ready or available by Halloween. Must breathe.

I did find some real cute STD magnets that I may order next week (once the guest list is finalized and I finally have everyone''s addresses!)

Hey...relax! The wedding isn''t until October, right? There''s plenty of time. Just give yourself a list of what else you have to do, and prioritize.

To me, it sounds like you have these things left...

--bridal accessories: can wait a little longer, I think by the 4 month left mark, you should decide on what you want

--photographer and/or videographer: search and book asap

--dj/band: search and book asap

--bridesmaid dresses : look around for color and style, decide by 4 months left.

--flower colors?/types: same...look around, decide by about 3 months left

--wedding favors: can wait, but look around over the next few months....these things are usually plentiful stockwise

--toasting glasses: same as above

--cake server: same as above

--placecards: decide by 4 months left

--seating arrangements: decide by 1-2 months left

--wr''s

look, look, and look!


I might be missing a few things, but these are at least the basics. Hope this helped!
 
BTW, the magnets are adorable!
 
It sounds like you just have the minor little details left. I''m sure everything will come together wonderfully.

I guess it is mostly detailas that need to be done. I''m pretty sure what made me think this was looking at the date today. I can''t believe that March is almost over and some big stuff hasn''t been done yet- photographer, cake, BM dresses(they haven''t made their final decision) officiant. I''m borrowing a ckare knife and server, iPod for music, have the shoes, just have to dye them and my Jack and Sally wine glasses.
I''m trying not to flip out but I know once yuo''re older, summer flies by and before I know it, it will be Labor Day.
We have an idea for wedding bands, once I find the link I''ll post it.
 
You haven''t been engaged that long and truthfully I have been amazed at how quickly you were able to jump in and start getting things done. You have plenty of time to get what you'' ve got left done before October. Sometimes it can be daunting thinking about it all. But I think you are right on track. btw, I think your save the dates are cute.
 
I think you have PLENTY of time.... Relax and enjoy the planning... We are going to be fairly simple and small as well and I loved not having the heavy duty stress of some of the larger weddings
 
Don''t sweat it - you''re doing great. The photographer is something you need to get on sooner rather than later however. The cake - no big deal...our bakery actually told us to come back closer to the wedding! Make it a fun weekend thing if you''re going to do tastings. If your BM dresses are going to come from David''s, they don''t need more than a month. And they usually come in sooner than that....so plenty of time.
 
I agree about the photographer....secure him or her soon! This is a great resource: www.wpja.com (thanks to Aphisi!).
 
Love those rings Nytemist!

Don''t worry, I was about the same spot as you at month 7. It will all fall into place. It sounds like you know what all the missing pieces are, so just keep a list and every day try to do just one thing from that list. By the end of the month you''ll realize there''s nothing left to do until closer to the wedding.

Your wedding bands are gorgeous!!

I don''t think you''re behind at all- I think there''s a lot of pressure on brides to make all of the details perfect and the truth is that no matter what, you''re wedding will be beautiful simply because it''s YOUR wedding!

If it makes you feel better, I haven''t even begun dress shopping and our wedding is August 6th!!

i''m just not that concerned. It will all happen and I''m bound to find a dress- I cant get married nekkid now, can I???

Although THAT would be a memorable wedding!!

Just enjoy this special, special time in your life!!! Don''t let others make you think that you aren''t on track. You''re just fine!
