• Attend marriage preparation session with our pastor
• Plan farewell brunch for Saturday after the wedding
• Take invitations to calligrapher for envelope addresses 
• Mail invitations
• Order the cake(s)
• Choose AR's tux 
• Schedule dress fittings with alterations
• Finalize reservations for our mini-moon 
• Finalize hair & make-up and schedule trial run 
• Have an amazing time in Miami with my girls! 
• Pick out my wedding shoes to take with me to alterations 
• Send out checks for 60-days before wedding payments 
• Check with hotel on reservations and remind guests to book their rooms!
• Pick out wedding bands for AR and I! 
• Plan signage with the calligrapher and planner 
• Continue working out 6-days a week and eat healthy. Limit sweets to weekends only.

Okay, I was feeling super unprepared until I looked at this list. We are on our way!! This month was so busy with decisions and it was high-stress. I honestly don't know how AR puts up with me sometimes! 

For July:

• Complete walk-thru with planner, caterer, florist, venue coordinator, and decorator. Done! This was so much fun! 
• Finalize menu - we want to change one item
• Order Rehearsal dinner dress
• Attend dress fittings
• Finalize morning-after brunch
• Call people who have not RSVP'd
• Make welcome bags for the hotel rooms
• Order bridesmaid/groomsmen gifts
• Order jewelry for bridesmaids
• Pin hair ideas
• Schedule hair and make-up trial run
• Confirm cake design
• Finish weekend time-line with the planner
• Make nail/tan appointments
• De-stress :)
• Continue healthy eating and workouts: no more sweets or white carbs, with plans to cut dairy three weeks out (cutting dairy always brightens my skin!)
• Planning call with photographer to go over must-have shots and our vision for our big day
• Select songs for ceremony and reception
• Start seating chart
