Wedding planning update: 16 days to go
Oh my. This has been a rough week in terms of wedding planning – the most to do, and seemingly not much time to do it. We did get a few things done, but I’m hoping to finish the week strong so that next week can be all about organizing and packing. Another task we completed this week — mapping out a wedding day car schedule, so our 16 bridal party + family members can get around in five cars on 10 different legs… without leaving anyone behind Since my last update: — I finished scanning all our slideshow photos and we’ve loaded them into the program – now just need to add finishing touches — We finalized our wedding day schedule (we also timed out our ceremony to make sure our estimate was accurate!) — We chose songs for all important moments (except first dance – still trying to decide on that one!) — We made the final selections for our bar — I printed the wrappers for our favors — I sent the ceremony programs, welcome bag inserts, and maps out to be printed — I’ve painted a first coat on our remaining large reception signage — I mapped out our menu board and bought the additional paper needed for the rest of our signage (oh signage…) — We sent final payments to several of our vendors – exciting! — My veil arrived! — I wrapped gifts for my bridesmaids and our greeters, readers, and pianist A few of the tasks still on the list for the remainder of the week: — Finalize details with our bandleader — Finish the slideshow — Write our toast — Finalize our personal vows (eep!) — Invite guests to Sunday brunch — Finish the bar menu signage — Assemble our menu board
