What I have done for the wedding:
--ordered invitations
--found bridesmaids dresses (a convertible style which can be tied 100 or so different ways, each girl and find her most flattering look)
--found Mother a dress that is GORGEOUS
--found traditional tuxedos for the groomsmen
--found engraved humidors for groomsmen gifts (our venue has a cigar tasting room)
--found monogrammed fur scarves for my bridesmaids gifts
--essentially planned my whole bridal shower (which is NOT allowed, as I am not the hostess and should not stick my nose in, but I cannot help it, I'm just a compulsive planner!)
--found a band and a DJ for our reception
--made a Do Not Play list and a Must Play list and a Must Photograph list
What I have not done but need to do ASAP:
--find an officiant
--find a baker to make our cake and groom's cake
--book rehearsal dinner
--book spa appointments and hair and makeup team
--order table numbers, place cards, menus, cocktail napkins
--think of a cute and convenient way to keep track of RSVPs
--this list could go on for about a mile!
JPK and I just finished the 3rd season of Mad Men. I cannot put my obsession into words! Every time I see Betty, I die over her outfits. The baby blue fur ensemble she wore to Roger's daughter's wedding nearly made me hyperventilate! And JPK and I have both been searching for a fabulous bar cart a la Don's office or the Draper's living room. I think I may get him one for Christmas and set it up before he wakes up!
Terribly boring, nearly all wedding post! Sorry! xoxo
You've gotten so much done!
ReplyDeleteTotally with you on Mad Men and Betty's wardrobe...divine! What a fun idea for JPK's Christmas gift!
