Rather than posting my long checklist, I've decided to give a little summary of what I got accomplished in November and what I am planning on accomplishing in December!
The biggest thing that we checked off was our food tasting (it got bumped up a week)! And let me tell you - it was GOOD. We did not leave hungry and our guests will not leave the reception hungry either. I won't spill the beans on everything we're having, but you KNOW I've got to have my fried pickles! :)
Also in November, we received the pom poms in the mail that we'll be using for our send off and got even more excited about using them after seeing Amanda's wedding video because she used pom poms, too, and they looked like so much fun!
I also finished the shopping for all of my bridesmaids gifts!
In December I plan to:
-continue working on putting together the invitations
-purchase Cameron's wedding band
-stare at my bridal portrait pictures daily (my mom told me not to admit this haha)
-attempt again to get our passports
-celebrate our engage-iversary!
-start getting extremely anxious when we hit the 3 month countdown
That's so nice that they put up a welcome sign for you! I'm sure your food will be delicious. The fried pickles sound perfect! And your to do list for December sounds very doable. It's when that two and one month countdown come that all the little things start picking up, I think! I feel like it was just yesterday that you got engaged and shared it here. It's so amazing how short the years seem.
ReplyDeleteFrickles at the wedding. You're my hero.
ReplyDeleteLove the fried pickles!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I've seen the pom poms done in real life and it was super cute! The couple went to different schools and first got to grab pom poms based on which school they sided with--super cute and a little personal, fun rivalry!
I loved our food tasting. That was my favorite part of the whole entire planning process I think!!

Hi Jordon! I ordered our pom poms (300 total) from Oriental Trading! They were the best price I found and the closest to the colors I needed. I also found a coupon online that took off $10! :) Hope this helps!
DeleteI would think the food tasting would be my favorite part of wedding planning! That would be amazing if you had fried green pickles!
