Umm, wow. Four months already? I feel like I was just writing the five months countdown post. These will definitely be the hardest four months of the engagement, for several reasons. In exactly a week, I'll be starting my final semester of graduate school. I'll also be working two part-time jobs—although less hours than last year. Nathan is in Michigan, so add a long distance relationship onto that, plus of course finishing up wedding planning and getting ready to move!
Oh yeah, and I need a job and a place to move and stuff to move in with.
But instead of totally freaking out about everything that's not done, let's talk about what is done—because I'm pretty pumped about this!
To recap, last post I named four things I wanted to accomplish this month. Here they are with what I wanted to accomplish and what I did accomplish.
1. Invitations: We need to finalize our guest list, begin collecting addresses, & come up with a rough mock-up of our invitations. NAILED IT.
Actually, more than a pass, because not only did we come up with a final guest list and collect all but a few addresses on the list, we also chose an invitation design, talked through wording with our parents, priced everything out, and ordered Mini Moo cards. We're totally on track with this!
2. Flowers & decorations: I need to start making flowers, continue looking for books, and work on Scrabble letters. Definitely a PASS.
The individual flowers are completely done and I'm working on table flowers. We also now have over thirty books and the Scrabble letters are completely done! Several posts coming up on these things. I can actually say that this time because my Scrabble letters post is completely written—and it's an official DIY post this time!
3. Caterer: Hopefully having a tasting this month and deciding on our menu & cakes! DONE and DONE.
We did have a tasting! I did a catering update but didn't give all the details on the tasting yet—definitely to come and I'm super excited about this.
4. Decide where to register & start scanning. Umm YES.
We definitely have the base of our registry built! I know I'm going to have to add more items, but I had it done enough to have a shower on New Years Day and we've even added more things since.
Things I need to work on for next month:
1. Invitations: I need to get the invitations printed, start assembling what I need, and working on getting addresses in place.
2. Flowers & decorations: Make progress on the table flowers (I don't need to finish these yet!) and figure out how many more books I need.
3. Registry: Fill out with some more items.
4. Programs: Print, cut, & organize!
That's doable right? I sure hope so!
