{Countdown to ‘I Do’}

April 26, 2012 Leave a Comment

I had a reality check last week, when my bridesmaids officially ordered their dresses for the wedding – time is FLYING by! We’re at 5 months and 2 weeks right now…it seems like it was just yesterday that M and I got engaged. I was told that time flys by when you’re planning a wedding, but I didn’t realize just how quickly. We got so many of our “big” plans out of the way early on (like 1-2 months after our engagement!) that we actually were able to sit back and not think too much about wedding plans for a while. Well, it looks like the time has come to jump back into serious planning mode…there’s still a lot of smaller things to be done! Here’s what we’ve accomplished so far:

  • Ceremony Venue 
  • Reception Venue
  • Wedding dress & veil – purchased!
  • Wedding shoes purchased
  • Bridesmaid dresses – ordered!
  • Groomsmen attire – ordered!
  • Reserved our photographer {See engagement photos here}
  • Reserved our DJ
  • Reserved our caterer {M’s mom’s company…so that was easy}
  • Sent our Save-the-Dates {these deserve a blog post of their own!}
  • Registered at Macy’s, Bed Bath & Beyond, and Target

Like I said, a lot of the big things are already planned out. I’m starting to realize just how many of the “small” things we have left to do!

  • Decide on a dinner menu for our reception
  • Decide on flowers {I’m actually pretty apathetic about this one…}
  • Pick out music for ceremony 
  • Pick song for first dance, father/daughter, mother/son
  • Dance lessons!
  • Decide on a signature drink
  • Pick a Mistress of Ceremonies … I’m a little behind on this one!
  • Order wedding invitations
  • Decide on our HONEYMOON {Most important decision, right?!}
  • Reserve a block of rooms for guests
  • Decide on Rehearsal Dinner
  • Rentals – chairs, linens, dishes
  • Wedding favors
  • Ceremony/reception decor
  • Ceremony programs
  • Wedding day hair
  • Wedding day transportation
  • Wedding rings

I know I’m still missing things…but looking at this list is already a bit overwhelming! In a good way of course. 🙂 I’ve gotten out of the OCD wedding planning phase that occurred right after we got engaged. I’m at a point now in which I am just so ready to be married to my favorite person in the world, and every wedding ceremony I see nearly puts me in {happy} tears thinking about walking down the aisle in 5 short months! I can’t begin to describe how much I’m looking forward to October 13th,..and to every day after that. ♥

Any other important wedding plans that are missing from my list? I know there’s still so much to be done!
