Picking up where we left off…I've been SUPER busy with work and wedding things…so we're back tracking quite a few days for this 6 month sprint update!! Hence putting some dates in so you can follow what the heck I'm talking about :)
Wednesday March 26: Got a confirmation email from TWD for my 4 fitting dates! {first fitting is 5/8, less than a month!!} Also, did some bridesmaids hair brainstorming with roomie. Thank goodness for Pinterest!
Thursday: Emailed the Marriott to confirm an issue with the rooms. Got an email back the next AM that it was all set! Yay for non-problems. Also took an inventory of who has reserved rooms in the block so we can start sending out friendly "8/8 is surprisingly soon - please book!" reminders :)
Sunday: Did some MAJOR bridesmaid shoe research so I can send out suggestions to the girls. Got an email that my bridesmaids earrings were ready!!!! {can't possibly put enough !!! to explain my excitement. I am in love.} Went on minted.com and ordered the sample of our invite in custom colors so we can start to get the ball rolling on getting invitations out!
Monday: Booked hotels for our first wedding of the summer - yay for a full weekend in Newport! Finally stopped whining and starting making moves in the JP department - sent an email to one potential person.
Tuesday: Heard back from the JP that he isn't available for our wedding date. Whined a bit more…then moved on and started searching again. Got a text from Jen on my way to work that my wedding band came in!!!! Now we just have to wait for Ants!
Wednesday April 2: Ant and I had the day off together so we became the most productive people ever. {roughly} Spent some time online researching and choosing B&W pictures - and ordered prints. Went shopping and bought frames/numbers/so much gold paint….then came home and started testing out our table number idea. Did a 95% complete mockup. Learned that spray painting in the house is not the smartest life choice. Ran into another scheduling conflict {the joys of two different rotating schedules} and confirmed a new date to meet with the videographer. Met Ant's mom for dinner and MOTG dress shopping! Hit every store in the West Farms mall - with varying levels of success. Came home to a pin from Jen of my ring - Pinterest is great for brainstorming but even more fun as you start to create a board that's all your real wedding things! Perfect way to see it all come together.
There are less than four months now - and I probably say this all of the time, but I could not be more excited!!! My monthly lists have done a wonderful job of keeping me sane and on track and we have done a great job of keeping the wedding planning process FUN :) If it isn't fun, whats the point??
