Wedding Plans

I have a "Stay on Schedule" checklist from a bridal magazine that I got several months ago. The checklist starts at 9 - 12 months out...Yikes! We only had 4 months to plan, so had to crunch the big things and skip some other things. All in all, I feel like we are doing pretty good! Here's what's done on the checklist:

9 - 12 months out:

- Announce your engagement (easy...)

- Arrange for the parent's to meet (skipped)

- Pick a date (May 8)

- Discuss budget (skipped...could bite me later, but I don't have extravagant taste, so I'm not real concerned about it getting out of hand)

- Reserve ceremony and reception site (done)

- Meet with officiant (in progress)

- Shop for your gown (this one worries me a bit...but I have made an appointment for next weekend, so hopefully next week at this time, I can mark this as done!)

6 - 9 months out:

- Choose your wedding party (done)

- Select a caterer (done)

- Enroll in a bridal gift registry (not started)

- Order your wedding gown (see above)

- Shop for attendant dresses (not started)

- Pick photographer (done)

- Hire florist (done)

- Hire DJ (skipped - no dance)

- Start planning honeymoon (in progress)

- Complete guest list (in progress)

- Mail save the dates (not started)
