My To-Do List (2 months)

Here's an update to the status of my to-do list I last posted on February 12. The wedding is currently 2 months away.

To do 8 - 10 Months Before

• Shop for your wedding dress and accessories. Done, at last.

To do 6 - 8 Months Before

• Select table favours. Have now done up a few sample favours and decided on the way I'm going to do it. Now to buy the rest of the materials to make them, and then assemble them all!

To do 4 - 6 Months Before

• Choose gifts for attendants. I have an idea for the girls. I don't think Brooke has any ideas for the guys.
• Buy wedding rings. Done.
• Arrange transportation for wedding day. Now we are looking into a limo after all.
• Order cake. We have decided on a bakery (Cakes Etc) and we're pretty sure we've decided on the flavours, but haven't ordered yet.

To do 2 - 4 Months Before

• Meet with Officiant and confirm details of ceremony. Not done.
• Make hotel reservations for out-of-town guests. Done, and information included in invitations.
• Book any equipment required for wedding reception. Not sure if there is anything I'll need.
• Buy guest book & pen. Not done.

To do 1-2 Months Before

• Pick up marriage license.
• Have final gown/bridesmaid's dresses fitting.
• Make appointment with hair stylist to plan your wedding hairdo
• Make appointment with hair stylist / esthetician for wedding day.
• Buy wedding gift for groom/bride.
• Select MC. We have a couple of people in mind, but haven't asked either one.
• Confirm site for photographs. Emailed our photographer, she will book the location.
• Arrange to change name on legal documents. I don't think I can do this in advance.
• Make arrangement for bridesmaid's luncheon or dinner.
• Book date & time for rehearsal. Done, although we may need to change it to as late in the day as possible since Brooke will be out of town that day.
• Make plans for rehearsal dinner.
• Address wedding announcements - to be mailed after wedding. I don't think we'll be doing announcements.

To do 1- 2 Weeks Before

• Consult and discuss final details with florist, caterer, photographer, videographer, musicians, DJ, Officiant etc...
• Discuss attire with those hired for service at your wedding.
• Bridesmaid's luncheon, present attendants with gifts.
• Draw up seating plan.
• Send wedding announcement to newspaper.
• Inform caterer of number of confirmed guests at the reception.
