My To-Do List (7 months)

Here's an update to the status of my to-do list I last posted on September 11. The wedding is currently 7 months away.

To do 12-18 Months Before

• Assemble your guest list, remembering to consult both families. Have given the guest list to two of the three Moms for their input.
• Choose attendants. DONE!

To do 8-10 Months Before

• Shop for your wedding dress and accessories. I have purchased a necklace and earring set. Currently waiting (anxiously) to hear from someone that may sell me her dress second-hand. If not, I'll make a decision and buy within the next couple of weeks.
• Shop for bridesmaids' dresses. As before, still to decide after my dress is selected.
• Select photographer and videographer. Noticed a worrisome clause in selected photographer's letter of agreement. Have sent a note (just yesterday) asking for clarification.
• Select florist. Not started, although I'm collecting a list of places to investigate.
• Select musicians or DJ for ceremony. Still considering live music for the ceremony, haven't done anything to investigate that.
• Pick a Honeymoon destination. Check if any inoculations are required. Not any further along. Still "Earth, somewhere."

To do 6 - 8 Months Before

• Order formal wear for groomsmen. Will do that right after the girls' clothes are figured out.
• Order Invitations. Still haven't tried making a sample. Will probably buy pre-made ones from the store and just print them at home. Haven't checked the cost of having them done professionally, but I'm sure it's more expensive than the kits at Staples.
• Select table favours. No change.
