6 months

So that's all that's left. And that doesn't seem very long. This has me worried. Granted there isn't much left for me to do. But there's enough to keep me busy. Not to mention it would be nice to have the living room painted and furnished by this fall. Since we will be having people coming from out of town who we will be entertaining and they may want to see the house. But I'm getting ahead of myself here.

What's left:
Dance Lessons
Invitations
Cake
Flowers
Favors
Aisle Runner
Ties for the Boys
Shoes for the Girls

[x] I'm not sure how I feel about these anymore. I want to go... but I'm not so sure I want to add another thing to my to do list.
[x] I will not enjoy addressing these. But I'll deal.
[x] I know where I want the cake from and what I want it to look like. I just have to get the decorators on the same page.
[x] I know I want red flowers. But there are lots out there. So I've been trying to weed out the ones I DON'T want to make any more floral consultations go more smoothly.
[x] Favors... ooooooh favors. I can't decide between those little chests I linked earlier and round metal tins. I also need to figure out what to put in them
[x] I was going to ask a friends mom to sew the runner for me, but the fabric I wanted was too expensive. $450+shipping for something I'm going to walk on? No thanks. So I'm left trying to get creative, but I think it'll work.
[x] Ties, simple enough
[x] Shoes: my one true love and current hate.

In other news I got my second box today... I still haven't gotten Thank You cards printed. I stink.

There isn't much left to do....

...but wait.

I'm not sure how I got as much done as I did in the first month.

But I have a dress, a venue and entertainment. I need to sketch out what I want in a cake and then that will be all set. I've picked out tuxes for the Boys and a Dress for the MoH. I don't have centerpieces yet but I have some ideas, so I'm getting there. There are 2 things that I am not looking forward to. Because they're the most tedious and obnoxious.

Invitations and Guest Lists.

I found invitations that I like. But I wanted to have the invitations them selves in pirate speak. I don't know if I can sell Matt on that point. But I'm going to try. And as far as the Guest List goes, for now I'm just waiting for people to get back to me with addresses. We haven't set a number in stone as to what we cannot and will not go over. But I'm sure that that day will come soon enough.

I still need to find a florist and an officiant as well. Although I have a feeling that the florist will be easier.

I keep telling myself that I'm ahead of the game... but it doesn't feel like it
