This was the cheapest I could find for floralites....I don't know if your getting submersibles or not tho...worth a look I suppose

My List so far (ready for a laugh?)

Go for first fitting when dress comes
buy jewelery
finish buying stuff for BM's gift
Buy something for FG/RB
Order Cake
Finalize Catering Menu
Figure out our #'s aprox. to order booze
get marriage licence
get liquor licence
get wedding bands (they're ordered, just not in yet)
pick flowers out
figure out what the hell I'm doing for centre pieces
go register for a few more items (by order of mom-zilla)
do timeline for day-of
do battle with mom and MIL over whether to either pay caterer to do midnight lunch, or have MIL do it herself (my mom said she'd pay for some of it, but she doesn't want the hassle of worrying about serving it.  which I can't say that I blame her for)
MEET WITH PRIEST
figure out what readings/songs/etc we can/cannot do or have
do wedding announcement in the paper

also, somewhere in there, find my sanity

 

Thanks for that website!!!

Just placed the order for the litecubes, cameras, and sparklers

ordering our picture stamps from canada post right now!

Less than 4 months to go, I am in total wedding mode right now as I have my dress fitting tonight.  Figured I'd chime in with my to-do list.

Got the biggies all done... now it's time to tackle all the detaily stuff. 

  • finish DIY invites
  • purchase FG and RB presents
  • print and apply labels to favors
  • decide on menu
  • book block of hotel rooms
  • create wedding website
  • dance lessons/choreography
  • get FH and GM to order tuxes
  • purchase wedding bands
  • book hair trial
  • welcome/bathroom baskets
  • plan ceremony (non-church)
  • seating chart

Booked hair and makeup people this weekend

epics came in the mail (and they're STUNNING!)

Musicians finally sent contract

Wedding bands have been ordered.

Just groomsmen attire, book flights to the wedding, hotel for us, and all the small things that I'm sure will rear they're ugly heads....oh yes, and figure out transportation to the wedding....Ironically, it looks like everything about our wedding is planned except us getting to Toronto and then to the wedding - ha!

(sorry for the link......there are just toooooo many of them)

Too bad we can't divvy up the tasks between the Oct brides.  You know, one bride books everyone's flowers....one books the photographers......one deals with the cakes.....hhahahahahah then we could all do our one task and kick back and enjoy our summer!  Don't get me wrong, I'm loving the planning, but summer seems short enough without spending valuable sunny weekends doing wedding errands
