I'm pretty sure May came and went over the course of about 48 hours. Being sick for a week didn't help, but it was legit the fastest month ever! I have a feeling the next two are going to be just as quick. We did a decent job with our list, and I'm going to have to be very aggressive with my next couple of lists…since there are only a couple left!!!! We have SO many activities over the next couple of months it's going to take a lot of team work to make everything happen on time. and I am so so excited about all of it!!
So, back to May…let's look at how we did.
The MAY List:
- Coffee or BH visit with Pat - discuss ceremony music & other song ideas - done and done! We still have some songs to decide on but we walked through the BH with Pat and have a good idea of layout! and agreed on a few key songs :)
- Buy Ant's belt - not done. A trip to the outlets will be necessary soon.
- Send updated timeline stuff to Rachel - done!! We're on the same page with all of the pre-ceremony aspects of the timeline…now we just need to work out all the nitty gritty during the reception.
- Book videographer - DONE! Sing and dance and clap your hands. It would be appropriate.
- Pay $xxx.xx of our honeymoon balance - Done! Trying to take advantage of our CC rewards so we're paying in chunks. But we did reach out initial goal for May payments.
- Buy my shoes - DONE! Another one that involves a little singing and dancing as I cross it off. You all read plenty about that process already :)
- Build all lawn games {groom will be doing this, but still!} - started…but not yet complete.
- Send email to groomsmen about shoes/belts/shirts - Done! The guys have all the details they need to complete their outfits, which makes me feel wayyyyy better.
- Schedule hair trial - Done! and coming up in just two weeks!!!
- Make all table #s - Not 100% done, I knew that was an aggressive goal…but they are all purchased and painted! Now we need to complete the photos and assemble them.
- Start looking for MOTB dress - Not done, but we have a date to go looking!
- Take at least one dad suit shopping - Sort of cheating…but we have decided that a suit my dad owns will work perfectly! He just needs to get it tailored…and we have a date to go shopping with Ant's dad this coming week.
- Finalize menu for rehearsal dinner - Not 100% done. We have contacted the BBQ place and gotten initial info, we just need to hash out the rest of the final menu.
- Decide on rehearsal dinner invites - Not done…I am putting way too much thought into them, I'm pretty sure. Hoping to make a quick decision and move on with that one this week!
- Decide if I need to see a seamstress about my rehearsal dinner dress - Done. I don't!
- Send out friendly reminders about the hotel room block! Not done… just slacking. We will be trying to get that done before the wedding we are going to next weekend!
- Look into transportation options - Done! Research is all done…just need to make a decision and book it :)
- Celebrate our one year engagement anniversary!!! - Done! We had a fabulous day together.
A few shots of some of the DIY items from our list this month!
We got to see my mom and grandfather for lunch this weekend - it was beautiful out and the Madison Beach Hotel has such a nice patio!
