where did you get the stickers for your tumblers? @@pddcmc

...ha....ha...still, have yet to do that...

@@TinkerSofi aw! I love your ideas and I'm sorry I didn't see them first! I just kept on keepin' on with my original tags because I figured the amount of time put in to them wouldn't be worth it - guests would look at them for 5 seconds and then toss them in the trash.

To Do:

• Finalize Wedding Planner Form (just a couple things to iron out, otherwise this can be checked off)
  
• Finalize Guest List & Seating Chart (gotta love those stragglers...)
  
• Finalize Ceremony script (FI will do this when he get back from his business trip). (and print a copy, just in case!)
  
• Music - getting ready, ceremony, first dance, AND reception
  
• Design and order stickers for cups
  
• "Stuff" for cups - Instead of doing OOT bags, we are putting things inside the cups and attaching a tag to each one
  
•           Finish purchasing items for cups - I bought chewable Airborne packets, mini Johnson & Johnson first aid kits (obvi these won't fit in the cups), and mini Aloe Vera bottles for 97 cents at Target     . I also bought plastic baggies (I've read several times that people always find use for these?) and mint LifeSavers. Will will also add pepto and lip balm (still need to purchase).
  
• Finish said tags for cups
  
• Write Welcome "letter" - this will also be "stuffed" in the cups. This will include a welcome and thank you note from us, currency conversion ($1 USD = x pesos), restaurants and their hours & dress codes, an About Us section, a Who's Who section with bridal party and our moms, wedding day itinerary and reception menu, the resort map (this indicate wedding event locations), "tips", a list of places people traveled from to be at our wedding, and resort activities.
  
• FI's shirt (we have the pants and shoes)
  
• Print Alternative Guestbook (FI designed it)
  
• Start packing - I'm 97.4% 98.6% sure we will need to purchase an extra suitcase, or two
  
• Dog sitter - start taking the dogs to the sitter (as I have mentioned before, we are new to the state...and unfortunately, our dogs are spoiled and slow to warm up to people...the last thing we need is to worry about our fur babies)
  
• Go to the courthouse and make things legal   
  
• Exchange money and get traveler's checks
  
• Finish place cards and table numbers
  
• Get e-ring cleaned
  
• Have final fitting (08 April)
  
• Purchase chalk markers or dustless chalk for chalk board easel
  
• Buy a few new bikinis and rompers.
  
• OH! and I want a big, floppy sunhat  
  
• Gifts for moms, MOH, and best man (any ideas here? I am thinking about paying for our moms to go on an excursion of their choice. I don't know what else to do or what to get MOH & best man)
  
• Appointment for waxing
  
• TRY to PATIENTLY wait/countdown until we leave for our WEDDINGMOON!!! 14 days!!!!

Everything is coming together just great! Lucky you going in 2 weeks! I wish we were leaving that soon! I'm so ready for a vacation!! lol Definitely can't wait to see all your pics! I love the skirt! Very cute! And the photo ideas are awesome! I'm definitely going to see what Samuel thinks of a couple of those!

[Wafflesmom]

You are crossing off quite a bit on that list, I'm so impressed! I hope I'm as organized as you when I'm down to 14 days before our wedding. You must be so excited!

[TinkerSofi]

I think the tags turned out great! You're right, people won't pay much attention to them anyway

 

Yay!! so close, and the countdown begins!!

Thank you! 

I am so excited! I often times catch myself thinking, wow I get to call my FI my husband extremely soon!

This morning, the FI says to me (completely serious), "can I wear my ring so I can get used to it?" But, it wasn't in an annoyed-I have to get used to wearing it... it was more like I'm really excited and I want to get used to wearing it. I don't know...it was really sweet. 

 

To add to the list:

I realized today that I also need to go to the post office and put a hold on our mail since we'll be gone for so long.

My Bridal Hanger came in the mail!

I love that it is engraved. The only thing I would change is the color of the hanger (I love dark cherry), but I am very happy with the product! 

I am going to add a ribbon bow to the handle.

I like that! Which seller did you use? I've been debating on one of the wire ones but I almost like this one better especially if they have a darker wood available.

[pddcmc]

@@acw271011 I wish they did have other color options for wood, but they don't. Maybe if you make a special request (they may charge a little more)? 

 

DelovelyDetails  is the seller

I love the hanger! I might have to get myself one 

[calgarybride2015]

Also love the hanger!!

 

While I love my wire one, they aren't meant to be used haha!  I left my dress on it at the seamstress and it got a little bent out of shape (was probably in her way), so when we went to Mexico I packed it and only brought it out for pictures. HA! that didn't work well in my favor either.  So the nice thing is the engraved ones are much more practical!
