The invitations are out! (barely) As are the thank yous from the shower. The floors of the new house are done and we are in! We won’t talk about the fact that we are still totally living out of boxes (kind of – we don’t really pack the traditional way with boxes, but you get the idea).
It has been one hell of a week to say the least.
I’m wiped.
Somehow Chuck is invigorated.
I think this week of craziness has pulled him out of the slump he’s been in since he got a desk job. I think he likes having projects and a purpose, and even though all I want to do is have a binge watching session with Netflix and my favorite Sunday, I’m so happy to see him so happy. I’m especially happy because I have a lot of changes that I would like to make to this place.
Even though we have a lot going on we still have a lot we have to do. The last time I did a to-do list for the wedding was 6 months ago! While it looks like a lot has been done, I’m realizing that there were a number of things missing from the list, so really it’s not any shorter.
- What is left to be done:
- Invitations designed. Ordered. And Sent.
- Guest list finalized. Addresses found and organized.
- Bridal party finalized.
- Website designed & hashtag chosen. (Not sure this is really going to be finished up to my original vision, but it exsists, and does it’s job, so I’m calling it done.)
- Dress Altered. And outfit details configured.
- Men’s wear chosen.
- Menu decided on.
- Cake baker booked. My aunt & Miss Amy are making everything. Woo!
- Hotel room booked (for us and a block selected for guests).
- Centerpieces designed.
- Ceremony & reception signage designed.
- Guest book designed.
- Favors created.
- Wedding bands chosen
What I’m adding to the list
- Meet with Snake about ceremony details
- Figure out music, including ceremony & itinerary
- Have a hair trial run
- Seating Chart
- Finish Guest Book
- Get a crate from Momma Chuck for cards
- Make a Thank You banner for pictures
- Make/get outdoor games
- Get a Marriage Licence
At this point we have just more than 2 months to go until the big day, and a lot of stuff happening in between. Fingers crossed that we can get it all done!
Eek! You can do this! It may feel like a lot now, but you’re so close! Hang in there, soon you’ll be married and you just won’t care. (:

thanks! I know I can, but the whole buying a house that needs work in the middle of wedding planning might have not been the best idea.
Yay, you’re getting so close! It looks like yall have gotten a lot done. My fiancé and I haven’t moved in yet, but d already has a list of projects to do as well! 😉
Honestly unless you build the house yourself then I don’t think it’s possible to find a house that wont have a couple projects. I’m just trying to live with them for now until we can get to them all.
You can do it. Etsy was my best friend in designing everything. My card holder, guest book, etc all came from there. I just knew I couldn’t design anything myself that would look as good as someone who does this for a living! Etsy saved the day!!!
Yes, etsy and amazon. I got a lot of stuff from them both so far.
