Petals & Pixie Dust Planning Journal 11/30/2009/2010

[Petals & Pixie Dust]

Look at where all the time is going!!! (I'm not really sure where it is going...but holy moly!)
Part of me is nervous. Part of me is excited. and the other part is totally stressed out!
I have one board book complete...they are very cute.
Tea party invites have been sent...just waiting on MILs RSVP...what ever

Gotta make a tee time for the boys, find a dress for V&A, and um I'm not sure what else... I leave for a conference on the 20th...so my books need to be done by then and mailed...I'm waiting for a couple of things in the mail...and not very patiently might I add...Usually by now I'm kind of packed...but alas...I'm not even close! Holy bridal panic batman!

 

[Petals & Pixie Dust]

GOT THE BEO!!! Now to go through it with a red pen and make corrections and changes!

 

[Petals & Pixie Dust]

Ok I know I posted this AM about my BEO...but as I look at it I am really really getting excited...I will admit that for awhile there I felt like I was just going through the motions...Yup. We were having a Disney Wedding...(insert Eeyore type sigh here) Like this wedding wasn't going to happen...Then yesterday, for what ever reason BAM! oh my goodness oh my goodness!!! I started to think of ALL the things that needed to get accomplished...and in the past 12-24 hours this is what I came up with...

The Updated To-Do List
-Board Books completed
-Newsletter finished and printed
-Final Mailing Sent Out
-Vows. Need to be completed and sent to officiant
-Jewels need to be put on shoes
-Boys need to be fitted for Tuxes (10/17) and ordered from CA
-Dress Steaming needs to be paid for
-Photo Confirmed...Wish list needs to be sent
-Order water (we order it from staples and have it sent to the resort...saves us tons!)
-Confirm hair and make-up...Pay them
-See if we can get an early check in at GF
-Find time to meet a couple of friends that will be there
-Let friend know when to meet us at GF
-Schedule hair, nail, and spa appts before leaving
-Figure out an outfit for V&A
-Get Vilymation (sp?) Mickey @ DTD When we get there...
-Go through BEO...make changes as need and make sure everything is squared away there...


and finally...
Remember to breathe! and post completed projects on Dis! (I haven't forgotten you...I just haven't gotten there yet!)

Luckily...I have Monday off for the holiday...and I always have Tuesday off...SO...guess when I'm going to knock some of this off??? You guessed it...this upcoming week!!!

Pictures coming...PROMISE

 

[BecBennett]

I need to take a couple of days off just to knock some stuff on the head. You seem so organised, when I tick off my to-do list I think I'm pretty organised too, then I remember all of the things that I haven't added to my to-do list!

Yeah I got that feeling with my BEO too, that crazy "oh my god, are we really doing this?" feeling!

Yeah its pretty amazing...that is for sure. I learned to keep my to-do list in my back pocket b/c I think of things at the strangest times! So far it has worked...like I said...thank goodness that I have next Monday and Tuesday to knock out a bunch of it...

50 DAYS UNTIL WE LEAVE!!!

New Things to Add to the To-Do List
Get post cards at DTD
Get post card stamps (I'm going to send thank you post cards from the world before we leave...so everyone will have one when they get home)
Order rewards card
Oh yeah..PACK!

 

[Petals & Pixie Dust]

So, here are a couple of photos...I am still waiting for the glass to come in...and my hanger...which I'm getting irritated about...it's been 9 weeks and I really want it...the etsy seller said it would take 6-8 weeks...so what is the hold up??? Anywho...I'll have a photo of that when I finally get it...
I'm also waiting for my breaking glass...but that is in the mail-the company we are getting that from is a bit better with communication...

So, here is the glass...

We are using the multi-colored glass...which seems weird but we are getting one of these...
(sorry you'll have to click on the link...but it's a kaleidoscope...so we thought the multi-colored one would be perfect!)

I'm also having a local glass blower make me some glass beads with some of the shards as well...

Finally, here is my invitation to my tea party...

More as soon as it all comes in...I'm not a patient waiter...can't you tell

 

[BecBennett]

So does the glass look like the jelly bean thingys? Or is it an actual glass? I've never been to a Jewish wedding if you can't tell I always thougt it was like a wine glass,

Yup...it looks like the jellybean thing...usually people use a lightbulb...It's cheap, lite and makes a big pop! Mine is blown glass and pretty thick...so it might take him a stomp or 2 LOL I just got it yesterday...it is going to look awesome in the kaleidoscope. Will post that soon!

 

[Petals & Pixie Dust]

Dang good thing I was in hyper planning mode and put my to-do list on here...I think I washed mine...

Today I got the newsletter done (except for one little thing that I will work with my planner on tomorrow) and I'm finishing up the board books. (can't wait to be done with that project!)

Off to figure out what else I have left...

I just realized....50 DAYS!!!

 

[Petals & Pixie Dust]

ALL MAJOR CRAFT PROJECTS ARE DONE!
Now just need to add my hidden mickey's to my shoes and I'll be all set!

Got my hanger today...and that was the last thing I was waiting for to arrive! I'd post it but I used our last name and DH would flip if I posted it...

Now to print off the newsletter and send my last mailing out! (hopefully next Tuesday)

Holy moly! It's all coming together now!

 

[BecBennett]

Wow that's great! I hope I've got most things done by 50 days out!

Is it still stressful, considering you've got the actual marriage thing out of the way?

Stressful...kind of but in a different way...I'm looking at getting everyone on the same page...some minimal drama...and choreographing hair/make-up, photo, making sure all of the plans lay out the way I want them, going over the BEO with a fine tooth comb...all the things I DIDN'T have to do for the first wedding. It's kind of a good kind of stress b/c there is a light at the end of the tunnel. (does that make sense?)

Thanks. Excited...Not sure what I'm more excited for!!!
Somedays I'm more excited for the food. Other days it is for the wedding...other days it is for Victoria & Alberts. So, excited yes..for what? I'm not sure...

 

[Petals & Pixie Dust]

So, I had my first nightmare...we were in the wrong room...people showed up that I either didn't know or didn't want there. There was a DJ at the sweetheart table...I ended up serving everyone while wearing my gown...and they had a sheet cake with blue icing...that I didn't get to cut! When I saw my planner she said "oh well you didn't know it was going to be like there??? Oooops" Cast members kept looking at me like I was nuts when I said I wanted to speak to a manager...and then I woke up.

40 days to go until we leave...I hope I don't have 40 days of nightmares!!!

 

[BecBennett]

Enjoy them! You know your wedding will be better then that, even if everything went wrong, I highly doubt it would be as bad as you serving everyone

Get a giggle out of it

 

[Boardwalk_bride]

Oh no! I always heard about wedding nightmares, and I have to admit, I had a few too! I think I only had about 5 total, all around the 30 day mark

I know! I know...I did get a giggle out of it...when I told DH that I had a nightmare...he was all cute and asked what it was about...when I told him I thought he was just going to smack himself in the head...then we had a good chuckle!

Oh no! I always heard about wedding nightmares, and I have to admit, I had a few too! I think I only had about 5 total, all around the 30 day mark

I'm at 39 days until we leave...getting close! and getting crazy...I'll be away at conference the rest of this week...I can't believe how quickly the time has flown by!!!

 

[Petals & Pixie Dust]
