so far I have booked/gotten,
The Venue
Ceremony Location
The Catering
The DJ
We have most of our wedding party picked out
Invitation & Programs supplies are bought
All center pieces are bought
supplies to make the favors
toasting glasses
cake cutting set
cake topper
guest book
totes for bridal party gifts
My Dress, tiara and veil
I accidently found my shoes… lol
Got my jewelry just yesterday.
We met with the priest and put down our deposit
found a great photographer who’s giving me the rights to all my pictures… so that a plus
our wedding bands, FH bought his and had it engraved with our wedding date in it. Had mine made. Mom gave me her wedding band and my father’s(passed away when I was 13) and I had them melted to make my band and had their wedding date and our wedding date engraved in it.
I have a friend who used to work in a bakery making wedding cakes so she agreed to make our for free
Now it’s just the florist, my bridal party and a few other things to worry about but still lots of time left

| wanted to bump this as it keeps me motivated - figure the more I do now the better it will be next year - hopefully less stress. I was playing around with invite wording and trying to figure out how to make my invites a semi pocket fold since I already have the invites that aren't a pocket fold  But I want to send hotel info, a map and the RSVP with each invite. I think what I'm going to do it make a separate insert with the info in a pocket fold type of things, like this  like the right hand side of this invites (I stole this picture from someone else on CB, forget who but I loved the way this looks) That's what I'm hoping to do but need to get some supplies to play with it a bit.

| Ok so after a busy couple of days I was able to get some of our original deposits carried forward!!! So we have our DJ, Reception hall and photographer booked! And I still have my jewellery, shoes, purse and hair piece that I didn't sell when we postponed everything in February. The ceremony will probably also be at the hotel - they have a separate room with a view of the mountains and huge windows that I think would be nice for a day time ceremony..we may look around a little more but I doubt it. I also want to get our officiant booked before the end of the summer so that I can concentrate on baby until January when I'll need to start dress shoping and picking up stuff for my MASSIVE diy list. Speaking of..here's my diy list LOL  some of it is just stuff to decorate but some of it is full on crafty times.  Silk Florals : (not bouqets, bouts or corsages..)
Centerpieces Wreaths Chair flowers for ceremony Cake flowers Head table and cake table garlands or florals Tall topiaries for ceremony décor Décor Projects: Napkin Rings Centerpieces Aisle runner/décor Invitation Charms Car decorations Cake knife Head table Item Projects: Guest book or photo mat Pen Sand ceremony jars Music for ceremony Programs for ceremony and day timelines Seating Chart Jam or Cider or cookie mix for Favors Magnet Marbles for favors Place Cards Menus Cupcakes Cupcake stand Kid’s candy bags Card box Program Basket Table Numbers Maps

| I have the wedding party officially picked out!! I'm gathering ideas about invites too. I'm going to make my own, I think! I'm so excited! Someone mentioned they have their toasting glasses, which reminded me that I have mine too already! FH used them in the proposal, so naturally we're going to use them for the wedding. They are crystal champagne flutes from Birks. They have "Bride" and "Groom" etched into the glass. I love them! Here's a pic:

| I plan on having e-pics done before the summer is over, probably late August. I have started to look for a dress - I tried on some that I really liked but I'm not sure if any other them were "the one". I'll be going again on Friday for round 2.
