What's Left?

Well, I have finished quite a bit in the last while - or so it feels like. I have ordered the last of the decorations, the ties for our ring bearers, my shoes came in yesterday (SO EXCITED!!), favours are ordered, flowers are taken care of, I met with one of our MC's to discuss the program for the reception and she is taking care of that, Jeremy's working on the reception music playlist, I am working on lists to give out to people (instructions/directions for the day before/day of the wedding).

The bridal shower went really well last weekend. I had a lot of fun and there were quite a few people there that I didn't expect which was a great surprise and I was feeling blessed that they were able to come.

My sister did a great job of planning and her and my mom put together a great party. Thanks!!

Now, there are a few other things that I have to work on:
- "preferred photos" list for photographers
- list for "Day Of Coordinator"
- list of instructions for ushers
- list of instructions for take-down of church
- list of instructions for take-down of reception decorations
- itinerary for wedding party, parents, coordinator, etc.
- thank you notes from the Bridal Shower
- small extras :)

I am very excited. 25 sleeps!!!

Things Are Arriving...

So I love the Internet! I have ordered lots of wedding stuff online and now it's just waiting until it all arrives. A couple days ago my table number stands and my string lights arrived. Last week, my ribbon and candle things arrived. Today my invitation envelopes arrived. Things are progressing nicely. I'm beginning to think that there's only so much you can "pre-do" and then it's a bit of a rush the last few days.

Jeremy and I were in Swift Current this past weekend and I found some more candles for the church. We were visiting friends and then family in Eastend. Then we were in Medicine Hat for a night and headed to Tilley for the other side of the family's Easter meal. Mom and I put together one of the centerpieces and I think they're going to be really nice. I'm excited to see it all come together. I hope it works out nicely.

Well, now I have to wait for a few more things. Paper, mailing labels, return address labels, and a couple more centerpiece elements.

I think I'm getting most things done in good time.
We still have to:
- pick out suits/tuxes for the guys but I think we're going to wait until Kevin gets back from Nova Scotia.
- decide/pick out flowers
- order bridesmaid dresses (I have them picked out already)
- REGISTER!
- a few more others I am unsure of right now

One of these days I'm going to have to write out a few detailed lists. One as a checklist, a couple for select people on the day of the wedding (assignments, checklists, etc.), one for things to remember to take on our honeymoon, things to do when we get back, lists for programs, thank yous, and many many more... Good thing I like making lists.

Until next time,
Rachelle
