Wedding Checklist Update

The countdown is on! We are about 10-weeks out from our big day and in the middle of that is Christmas, New Years, etc.

Here is what is left on my list:

*Lose weight - should have been doing more of that before this weekend.
* Invites: order , address and mail(plan on getting the family to help with this during the holidays)
* Memory video: pictures all scanned and saved now I just need to get Brad to save the songs I want on a CD so I can mail it to my video chica.
* Bridal Portrait: getting that DONE this weekend! Pray for dry weather!
* Picture picks and gift bags: I plan on having pictures of us througout the years on each table and need to find a bunch of the little picks for those. Also, gift bags for the out of towners in the hotels.
* Ceremony music: Meeting with the musicians this Friday!! woohoo!
* Ceremony: Brad and I need to sit down and look through either a book or something to decide on what type of ceremony we want.
* Programs: I think I might wait until 3-weeks before to do these. There are some things that might change unfortunatley.
* Seating chart for rehearsal dinner(boy..this should be fun.. glad I'm not having to do this for the reception)
* Reception music: Brad and I need to sit down and fill out the sheet our DJ gave us. We know most of our big songs already.(yes, we're cheaping out and getting a DJ..too much $$ for a band)
* Rings: We need to get those ordered in the next few weeks. We've already shopped and decided what we're getting.
* Family wedding pictures: Both sets of parents are both married, which is so VERY cool. One of the things I want is to have both of their wedding pictures on a table with our guest book so people can see that. Need to get both of them scanned in.
* Party favors: I've totally decided on Krispy Kreme donuts. KK has a 2 donut box that I will need to order closer to time.

Other stuff:
* post rehearsal dinner party site
* Thursday night party - work on food, etc.
It's at this favorite establishment in my old neighborhood. Jackalope Jack's on 7th.

How cool is this? This is the bar/restaurant we met at and the owners who we're friends with are throwing us a party the Thursday night BEFORE the wedding.

This will give us and all the people who get into town early something to do. Gosh...I guess I've been going to ole' Jack's for WAY too long.

shutupshutupshutup!! We LOVE Jacks!! Mr. Potts knows the owner - he lives across the street from us & we went to his pool this summer!

What great weather & isn't that patio the best??

PS: Let me know if you're in for the cookbook swap - I sent you an email about it. :)

You're so on top of it! And, yeah, the reception seating chart? Please kill me now.

I need to do this!! I'm going to right now. Thanks for reminding me :)

That list wears me out just reading it! Maybe that is why I am not married?

I'm doing DJ too. You reminded me of some things I need to add to my list!! Let me know about your bridal portraits. I'm on the fence about it. My sister's dress got filthy and they had to pay to get it cleaned before the wedding.

You are on the ball!

The pictures of the parents wedding is a beautiful idea. Love it.

And personally, I like DJ's better most of the time.
