Can you calm my nerves and heart? I just realized how close it is....?

I just realized that my wedding is only 81 days away, and am having a small fit. I have been having nightmares about not having everything done. Can you think of anything I'm forgetting? I've already:



Booked/Confirmed Church

Done Pre-cana

Met Priest

Arranged Music

Booked/Confirmed Reception Hall (food %26amp; drink included)

Booked DJ

Booked Cake

Booked Florist....meeting in April

Bought Dress

Bridesmaids/Flowergirl dresses ordered

Bought Rings

Booked Photographer %26amp; Videographer

Ordered Invitations

Booked Limos

Finalized Guest List

Registered

Arranged Rehearsal Dinner (In-Laws doing this)

Picked Readers (but not readings....ideas?)



I know I need to:

Find Shoes

Figure out hair

Find bridal party gifts

Do favors (father's helping....home-made wine sound good?)







But what else? What am I missing?



Thank you for any help you want to give. Holy crappola, 81 days!

Can you calm my nerves and heart? I just realized how close it is....?
try 11 days! thats anxiety! lol! Honestly it sounds like you have it covered, does your reception place cover things like napkins and forks and plates and all? thats the only think I can think of.....and the wine sounds amazing, I went to a wedding where everyone got a bottle of their "special reserve"-homeade wine and it was the best stuff ever!
Reply:Let me put it this way...I'm getting married Saturday and you're more preared than me. :)



You're fine, try not to stress. Prepare yourself mentally in case things don't work out perfectly. I had to change my cake a couple weeks ago due to flower problems (it had flowers on it that didn't come in the right color, of course I picked the cake with a computer generated flower). I just got my chair covers ordered today. AND I'm sick with the flu now. So yeah, things will happen. Just relax %26amp; know you're doing a good job.
Reply:For reading, go with the traditional reading from St. Paul - I think it's totally beautiful.

I'd start worrying about you not having your invitations yet - when I ordered ours, there was a mistake and we had to send them back to be re-done. Hope yours are okay.

Make sure your undergarments are sorted out!

Dress for next day? Are you having a gift opening? For me, I took my dress, but forgot a slip!
Reply:If you haven't already, check out www.theknot.com

They have great checklists and a budgeter to help you plan - that have thought of everything for you and give you advice and vendors in your area.

It's definately a lifesaver. It's all i've used thus far!!

Good luck! BREATH and take a bath!!!! and God Bless!

you'll be just fine :)
Reply:I have never planned a wedding (yet!), so I can't offer a lot. It sounds like the major things are set.



Something I can think of are bridesmaid gifts. Most brides give necklaces or a small gift to the bridesmaids, same for the groom and his men.



I would suggest going to a library or book store and flipping through a wedding planning guide. Take a piece of paper and pen and just write down ideas you may have overlooked!



Congrats in 81 days!
Reply:dress fittings. buy stamps when you send out your invitations on your response cards put a number on the back 1-100 or how ever many people you are inviting write down what card you sent to who. So if you can not read the chicken scratch that is on the response card you will know who it is from.
Reply:Sounds like you'll have a lovely wedding.
Reply:Congratulations!!! WOW!



This is what you are forgetting



-Seating arrangements

-ALTERATIONS!!!!! You don't have a lot of time girl!

-Send the invites. You are already late for this one.

-Decorations for the church and hall

-Pick first dance song, father-daughter dance etc.

-Aisle runner

-Printed programs for your wedding

-Collect all RSVP's and do final headcount

-Have wedding annoucement pictures taken and send it to the local newspaper.

-Get MOB dress and FOB tux

-Bachelorette party and bridal shower
Reply:Take a deep breath and think of it this way...if you forget anything, will you be any less married? As long as you don't forget to invite the official to perform the ceremony, then that's the main thing isn't it? The rest is just extra. ?



Congratulations and may the marriage be long and satisfying for you both.
Reply:Chill out..You seem like you have completly under control..



When I got married I was nervous as hell, but I would do it 10,000 time over...If you love your future husband, you wedding will be great, The day is for the two of you..don't stress over it...I know that easier said than done...But when it is crunch time and your freakin out..just remeber why you are getting married..



Good luck and may you have a life time of happiness

Reply:Great Job! Looks like you have most of the important stuff done. Have you figured out the honeymoon details yet?



Check out the website www.ezweddingplanner.com



The have a very detailed planning list and you can check off all the things you have done; disregard what doesn't apply; and see if there is anything missed. It's a really neat site and will help you plan for the seating arrangements and everything. I am using it to prepare for my wedding next year.



Congrats and good luck! I am sure everything will be beautiful!!
Reply:You have plenty of time to figure this stuff out, but... programs for at the wedding?? Maybe directions for people who don't know the area?
Reply:It might be a good idea to decide with your photographer what specific pictures you want to have to remember your wedding by, and it always helps to rehearse the pictures along with the wedding rehearsal. As a photographer, I know that the photography can be a hassle if you just expect it to happen. Help your photographer by knowing who needs to be in front of the camera and when. A wedding director can take care of this for you if you go over it before hand, so you can just enjoy the moment. Sounds like you've done a great job. Now relax and enjoy the ride. You're in love. You're living a dream.
Reply:You're missing the "have a glass if wine and a long bath, step" that's all I noticed good luck!
Reply:Take a deep breath...in......out.....ok. relax!!! Do you have one of those bridal checklists? Sounds like you have almost everything done. The one thing you should do is book a spa day a couple of days before the wedding so that you book in a time to relax. Get your manicure and pedicure and/or a massage. Remember, the wedding is only 1 day. The marriage lasts a lot longer.
Reply:you didn't say honey moon....I k now for me....as it got close and I stared freaking out I would just remind myself that in no time I would be on a beach w/ my honey sipping fruity drinks w/ straws
Reply:If you are like this NOW you are never going to make it thru your wedding day!!! You just need to take a breather and realize, even if you do forget something, your wedding will still go fine, you will still be married, and it will still be the greatest day of your life! You have 81 days....so just try to chill and take it one day at a time. Good luck and congrats! Have your dad make an extra bottle of wine for you RIGHT NOW...and drink it...and enjoy it... =0)
