It's the final countdown!

Honestly it’s crazy how much two days made in my outlook for my wedding, I couldn’t even comment on this because I was so stressed out. I ended up reaching out to my family who will be helping us a little financially and with the wedding tasks. We checked out our ceremony location today and it looks stunning! I’m so excited! I still have to finalize the seating plan, my MIL is finishing the tags for our wedding favors, making the ceremony benches, and creating wood and vinyl signs. I’m spray painting my wine bottles tomorrow, picking up my dress on Sunday, and need to iron my table cloths, napkins, and chair covers. Today I Ombrè spray painted our vases, separated 1000 rose petals with my fiancé’s nan, and cleaned the decor wine bottles with my mother in law. I went from dreading the passing days to being super excited, I’m very thankful to have the amazing family that I do!

16 days. Ahhhh!!

Not stressing too much yet, chipping away on tasks!

24 days left!
Not a lot left either, buying liquor, finalizing floor plan. Coordinating bride and bridesmaids travel logistics. That's about it.

I have 9 days left to go! I still need to write our speech (with fiancé), put bows on all our centrepieces, write out instructions for those decorating the ceremony space, confirm with our rehearsal dinner caterer...aaand, I think that’s it!

The food part of your list stresses me out. But you're going to KILL it guuurl!

9 Days left to go! I actually have almost no tasks left (and haven't since about two weeks ago).

- Pick up decor rentals on Saturday

- Drop off cheque to the venue (well my dad is doing this)

- Buy Lemons week of

- Buy Cigars week of

- Drop off Decor to Venue the Friday afternoon before the wedding

- Get my eyebrows done a few days in advance

- Get my nails done the morning of

- Send out a final confirmation email to my vendors this weekend just to be extra safe.

- Send some e-transfers to vendors for final payments.

We have just over a month left (36 days).

I feel like we have lot of things to do, but after writing every task down on a calendar, we've still managed to keep the last two weeks mostly free, so it seems doable. Here's what we have to do, in no specific order:

- Finish making the decorations (I got the major part done last night though)
- Sew the ring bearer's bow tie
- Finalize the timeline for the ceremony and reception
- Arrange some details with the church
- Decide precisely what we want for pictures and talk with our photographer
- Get the last RSVPs (deadline is next Wednesday)
- Make and print the seating plan and the place markers
- Write our vows
- Practice doing my hair and makeup
- Finalize our dance playlist
- Get my legs waxed
- Buy a guest book

8 days to go!
Not staying super calm and organized ahaha. I totally have 'wedding brain' and my memory is like a goldfish. Too much going on! Struggling to get through this week at work and then next week we are both off and itll be the final planning blitz.

Too much left to do:
-landscaping and yard cleanup ( wedding is in our backyard)
-confirm makeup and hair and set a schedule for morning of
-confirm rentals (tables linens chairs glasses)
-finish making my decorations (im about half done)
-find someone last minute to make a couple more alterations to my dress (my original seamstress had a family emergency)
-confirm our sound system
-meet with our MC and tell him the order of the reception
-clean my house
- order another keg
