Purple and Pearls

During the first few months of being engaged I used to say things to myself like “I wonder how I’ll feel with 3 months to go” or “This time next year we’ll only have a few months to go before the wedding!”

Well “3 months to go” is here.  From out of no where the wedding seems to be very close… too close I still have loads to do and sort out! eek!

Last month in between festivals, weddings and birthdays we actually managed to achieve quite a bit from my last “to do” list.

Chalkboard place card hearts have been sanded and ribbon has been attached (Thanks to my Mom!) Painting project completed.  We had our pre-wedding shoot and created our guest book photo album using our photos.  Also by a stroke of luck found shoes for 3 of the bridesmaids!

Very productive.

For August we need to step up our game…

• Invitations HAVE to be completed and sent by the start of next week.  NO room for delays!
• Evening invitations have to be finished and addressed by the end of the month, ready to be sent in the first 2 weeks of September.
• Buy my wedding underwear.  I have my first dress fitting (eeek) in September so I want to know what I’ll be wearing underneath.
• Book our Dallas hotel
• Compile a honeymoon itinerary.  We have so many flights to catch I want all of our information secure in one place so we know where we have to be and when.  We’ll also do a pack for the mothers so they can track us at all times
• Buy travel insurance 9oops something we should have done a while ago!)
• Start to make up favour boxes and store them ready to be decorated and filled with goodies.
• Start to collect treats for the children’s entertainment bags.
• Continue cutting out the Chrysler Building order of services
• Speak to a few suppliers (Venue and florist) about booking appointments so we can confirm small details and what will happen on the day.
• Celebrate our birthdays!!  Both Has and I are August babies and just because we have a wedding to plan doesn’t mean we can’t make time to eat cake, get drunk and sing Happy Birthday to each other!

Happy August everyone – enjoy the rest of the summer (!?) before we know it September will be here with it’s cooler breezes and darker evenings! x
