As of this month I officially have 9 months until my wedding.
I remember over a year ago thinking that I had all the time in the world and
suddenly I feel overwhelmed with everything that I have to do. I thought it
might help me to get my head on straight if I wrote down all of my plans. Maybe
some of my beautiful bridesmaids will read this and decide to help out (hint,
hint). Though on second thought I should probably actually start asking them to
be my bridesmaids in the first place; I’ve kind of gotten behind on that one. Yeah
we should really get started on this train soon.

What we have done so far:
The Venue is booked.
The DJ is booked.
The photographer is booked.
The flowers are selected.
The dress is chosen.
The registry started.
Basically all the easy stuff is out of the way. I’m glad I
at least got that much done, and while I’m not looking forward to a lot of the
stuff left on the list, I am very much looking forward to getting crafty with
my girls.

What is left to be done:
Invitations designed. Ordered. And Sent.
Guest list finalized. Addresses found and organized.
Bridal party finalized (since we haven’t been good about
asking people officially).
asking people officially).
Website designed & hashtag chosen (yeah it’s necessary).
Dress Altered. And outfit details configured.
Men’s wear chosen.
Menu decided on.
Cake baker booked.
Hotel room booked (for us and a block selected for guests).
Centerpieces designed.
Ceremony & reception signage designed.
Guest book designed.
Favors created.
With everything laid out nicely I feel like its doable,
though I wonder if I am taking on too much. I am custom designing a lot of the
details. Worst case scenario I give up and go the store bought route. I am ok
with it if that happens, but I suppose we will cross that bridge when it gets
here.

I am looking forward to crossing a few things off this list
in the coming months. I want a nice relaxed summer without a bunch of running
around, so I am hoping to get as much done as possible before the end of June.
Again we will see how that works out. It’s a lot to think about, and a lot to
do, but it’s definitely not impossible.

Wish me luck!
PS: Any suggestions for getting it all done without tearing
my hair out? They are greatly appreciated!
