I know where you're coming from! I have a ticker on my desk top & when it hit 4 months+ I got butterflies!
I guess it seems close because almost a whole month out of that will be taken by the holidays, you'll spend so much time sorting out Christmas that the wedding'll probably get pushed to one side till new year... At least that's how it's going for me! So that'll take you to 3months+ at which point everything *really* needs to get moving!
Let me see... What's on my list...
Ok,
you've got your
dress... has your mum started work on the alterations of the top?
Have you booked the
reception venue? If not do you have a shortlist? Have you compared prices/location/facilities/service?
Entertainment.. band/dj? Anything booked?
Cake... Have you made an appointment for Jan. to see the baker?
Menswear.. do you know what the guys will wear? Have you priced the outfits or found a supplier you like? Do you know when the deposits are due?
Bridal party... have you picked your attendants? Do you know what they'll wear? Have you considered their gifts? Do they know what their duties will be?
Music... have you picked music for the ceremony? Do you know what the church will allow? Do the have a PA system for you to use/will they provide an organist?
Beauty... Have you thought about how you'd like your hair/ make up to be? What about your attendants? Have you tried out any looks?
Accessories... have you got your veil/tiara/head dress? Have you thought about which (if any) you'd like?
Invitations... Have you found any you like? Have you ordered them?
Flowers... have you booked a florist? Do you know what kind of look/flowers you'd like to have? Have you written down & priced how many of each you'll need? (I'm mean 1 bridal bouquet + 2 BM + 2 FGirl + 6 corsages + 10 buttonholes...)
Photographer... Have you booked your photographer yet? Do you know what kind of style or coverage you'd like? Have you seen their work? Have you met to discuss your expctations?
Videographer... Do you want one? Have you booked already?
Honeymoon... Have you decided on a budget for it? Have you talked over the options? Have you booked it? Have you got the date when the final payment is due?
Rings... Have you decided on what kind of ring you'd like/ you FH would like? Have you been to try some on with you Ering? Have you ordered them? (We're waiting for the sales to start!)
I think that is about everything I can think of just now!
Oh one more...
Transport have you book cars? Do you need to hire transport for the guests from the church to the reception? Have you worked out how many cars the bridal party will need?
