I finally feel like I've got enough stuff done to post - hooray!
1. Invitations - Not doing invites. Oh my!
I included the "invite" in the newsletter that went out in June. First page... RSVP by 9/30. However, I little miffed that I still haven't heard from 1 party... and it's the grooms brother! Slackers. ARGH! (We're an escape)
2. RD - None... although I did get a Wishes cruise going for a select few. Who actually RSVP'd....
okay, I'm over it.
3. Cake - Still deciding. He doesn't care, isn't a big cake guy, me however, I love sweets and so this is really my decision.
4. Grooms Cake - I suppose the above answer is a good cover for not doing this.
5. Honeymoon - Booked before we booked the wedding. We decided to wed in the world AFTER we decided to honeymoon there!
6. Dinner Receiption - Reserved for Fulton's Crab House, we're at about 21 people now... however, my initial thought was that Pleasure Island would be a good "after spot", goodbye PI! (Not that I have ever been there, but alas, I've read enough)
7. Hairstyle/Makeup - I have long red hair, so I'm hoping to be able to do something like Giselle in Enchanted. Not the poufy-do, the running around Central Park singing do. I'll be doing the do myself, so who knows what will end up happening. Typical makeup, maybe add some lashes or something.
8. Floral - I finally figured out the colors, Navy/Royal Blue and Bright Yellow. So I'm thinking yellow flowers with little tiny blue flowers... of some sort.
Yes, this is how I plan to describe it to my planner as well.
9. Suit - We tried on tuxes this weekend, resulting in the decision to put him in navy blue vest, creating the beginning palatte for our colors. I wanted the sexy model man suit at Carolyn Allens, but cannot find it locally to have my dude try it on. (My mom said the model is Hally Barry's hubbie?)
10. License - I send in the initial form to Brevard County for license by mail. They are so awesome, the dude actually called me to warn me about the notary practices here in CA. SO Sweet! He said they'll start the process 2 months out.
11. Rings - I am not doing a wedding ring, cause my E-ring is so awesome and I'd have to get a custom band to work with it. So, whatever. We bought his a fews weeks ago and picked it up this past weekend! Sparkle sparkle.
TO DO
1. Wedding worksheet. I'm a planner, and most of my people aren't. I want to know where they'll be and when we're picking them up and what they plan to wear RIGHT NOW! In the nicest way possible of course.
2. Dress fitting - technically, I don't fit in my dress right now. My brillant plan to loose the weight faltered because I have zero impulse control. Never fear, I am excellent under last minute pressure. HELLO rice cakes! (Actually, the little mini ones are so good, caramel yum yum yum) But all I need is to get it bustled anyways, probably do that in November.
3. Wedding jewelry - ehh, I suppose I should start looking into that. My friend bought me the little mickey head necklace that Mervyns head.. its all delicate and sweet, so probably that and something else. I got my mickey head tongue ring though! I'm classy.
4. Bridesmaid dress - I've got 1 bridesmaid, so now that I've decided what color she'll wear (navy), we are just going to go dress shopping at Macys or whatever. Girls Shopping Day! Whoo hoo!
5. Vows - gotta figure out what we wanna do there. We're not the "til death do us part" type, so I've got to figure out what we wanna do with that.
6. Garter - no way!
7. Bridal Shower - no way!
Wow, not too bad. This was fun!
Fingers crossed it will work!
