Countdown: Five Months

Now that we're five months out from the wedding (crazy!), it's time to take stock of where we are now and what goals we have for the next month! From the very beginning I discarded the checklists on The Knot—umm research lighting? book a calligrapher? buy wedding insurance? According to this check list I am way behind.

Good news. It doesn't have to be like that. With a little help from A Practical Wedding—great blog, book, & resource!—I came to realize that this is my wedding, and I don't have to finish all of the 179 uncompleted tasks on The Knot. 

So let's recap.

Things that are completed:

Venue: Pleasant Ridge Camp & Retreat Center

Caterer: Sammie Daigle from the Pleasant Ridge Camp & Retreat Center

Photographer: Niki Marie Photography

Dress: Can't tell you yet! Coming up... check out the wedding dress post to make a guess.

Programs: Crossword puzzles & I Spy in progress!

Things I'd like to start on this month:

Invitations: We need to finalize our guest list, begin collecting addresses, & come up with a rough mock-up of our invitations.

Flowers & Decorations: I need to start making flowers, continue looking for books, and work on Scrabble letters.

Caterer: Hopefully having a tasting this month and deciding on our menu & cakes!

Registry: Decide where to register & start scanning.

Hmm... anything I'm forgetting??
