The Nest

Honeydo's for April

Posted Thursday, April 03, 2008 7:32 PM

I guess I should post and not comment anymore on other's stuff.  Here's what I'm working on....comment at will

1. Maintain a balance and sense of humor
2. Obtain the motivation to accomplish these tasks.... 
3. Invitations - a must plus it mandates how many people I should pay for.  I have been cornered a few times about "am I invited?" - how do you tell people No?
4. Track down friends with missing contact info and send off their invites
5. Mail out wedding verification info for notary public to sign - I'm kicking it Catholic style and let me say they are strict for a reason. 
6. Tux details - this is a guy task...and glad to give it away.  I'll write emails/details but I refuse to get involved anymore - you should ask me about the annoying girl at MW.
7. Music list - this is primarily done thanks to a BM - I just have to go in and update/delete/add stuff....not much
8. Pay vendors...of course - where would wedding planning be without forking over hard earned cash?
9. Sit with my florist about 2nd payment, ideas, where to purchase vases (I'm so not renting from her - I want the girls to have something to keep their flowers in for a while)
10. Review my registry...(maybe add the digital camera I wanted - its a gift)
11. Maintain a sense of humor - my fiance's WVU friend is tormenting me and refusing to cooperate...I am definitely in the "I'm so vain/I'm the bride now do as I say" mode - that may never go away....got to work on that.
12. Oversight of the rehearsal dinner - see earlier post.  Again, I wash my hands of it...Olive Garden?  Sounds good, right?
13. Ask a church friend to be a reader/on call groomsman - my fiance has two male attendants to my three female attendants.  I want symmetry people.
14. Start purchasing attendants gifts (this actually may come last)
15. Buy cake topper - initial script version because mom said the inter-racial topper looked tacky.
16. Take engagement photo - I don't want a guest book (yuck so 1979 - I'm Anti-mom's wedding) so I'm taking a photo with my honey.  Ordering the photo online, matting it, and setting it up at the wedding and reception for folks to sign it.  I got the idea from a friend who got married here.  Need DC sights to take pix at (INSERT COMMENTS HERE)
17. Sneak in my wedding announcement - my fiance who is Native American and shy doesn't want one here in DC.  But he didn't specify where - so I'm getting one back home.  It would at least appease my mom.
18. Have my sister hassle my other BMs to purchase their dresses and shoes...Black shoes and dresses - I'm practical and I like sparse color accents.
19. Get ready to call the priest
20. Start planning for June/July
