You have loads done and lads of time to do the rest. Book the make up artist next though so you get somebody you re happy with or comes recommended. I didn't decide on hair style till after my first fitting. You are doing fine - bet there's quite a few brides here with less done and no need to panic. The fact you have a list with so much ticked off already means you are plenty organised!

Don't panic! We're getting married in October and still have to:

Figure out what the H2B and Men are actually going to wear on the day, seeing as none of them seem to care "ah sure it'll all work out" - eh, love, we do have to buy things for ye..
Pick & buy rings
Pick & buy wine (waiting until I have more € saved for June Bank Holiday offers)
Decide on centrepieces and get them
Contact band & DJ & give them a couple of things that we want & don't want
Decide on gifts for the Mothers
Finalize with Hotel as to what exactly is included in our package, buy/rent whatever isn't
Get together with Mum & finalize cake decoration
Pick and stick to a hair style
Get second make-up trial
Actually, buy the foundation I said I'd get after the first trial...
Get dress altered
Actually FIT into dress
Do mass booklets (I got thick with it a few weeks ago & left it)
Clear music with wedding singer & priest
Clear mass booklet with the priest
Do Pre-Nuptial enquiry
Sort trees or lanterns or something for outside the church
Find out if we can decorate the night before or that morning
Find out if venue decor people are coming the night before or that morning
Sort cars
Sort arrangements for our son for that night
Sort a timeline for the day
Make my mind up with jewellery & stick to it
Print aforementioned mass booklets
Make new buttonholes because the glue was atrocious on the last ones
Start buying stamps
Do the final FINAL guestlist
Pick readers (and double-check readings)
Do a load of stupid little bits like get a nice pen for signing the book, buy a long-reach stapler, buy more card, tealight holders, floating candles.
Convince BMs that I was NOT joking when I said I didn't want a hen.

Plus all the normal everyday working/cooking/cleaning/Mammy-being that usually goes on. And probably a First Confession in there somewhere too, plus swimming & training for the little man and try to shift the rest of this weight so that the dress might actually zip up.

Feel better?

Ah, sure it'll all work out :o0

congrats on your engagement


I hope you have your dresses sorted, my advise is do one each week. that way you can be more relaxed. start looking at your invitations and readings now. that way you will know what you want.
but its amazing how it all falls in to place in the end

You have loads done compared to me! We're getting married at end of Nov (got engaged at end of Jan this year). All we have done so far is this:
Booked venue
Booked registrar
Room decor
Flowers
Cake
Dress (not bridesmaids though!)
Guest list
Registered intent to marry

And thats all! We still have loads to do! To be honest we're not panicking though as we havent come across any supplier not available for our day yet. The advantage of getting married on a friday in November I suppose.

We've promised ourselves that we'll book the band this week though.
