and we're off...

See that? Right there in the pic? Yup, exactly 200 days left until our wedding. Seems like this time is going by very quickly. I feel like we have accomplished a lot of planing in a short amount of time. And then, I look at my to-do list:

• Book Limo
• Book florist/choose flowers
• Ask (1) more bridesmaid (cutting it close, I know!)
• Shop with BP for their dresses (MOH done)
• Find RD Dress
• Book RD (September - FMIL will do)
• Finalize church/reception times (September)
• Order invites (October)
• Reserve hotel blocks (this month)
• Centerpieces
• Paint table runners (have fabric)
• Make favors (January)
• Book E-pics (for October)
• Book Boudoir pics (?)
• Shoes/Undergarments/Jewelry
• Gifts for BP and parents
• Photo guest book (after E-pics)
• Music for ceremony
• Choose cake design
• Final tasting/choose menu (November)
• Book plane tickets for honeymoon
• Order sash for dress (already chose style)
• Find buttons for dress (to add to zipper placket - this week)
• Alterations
• Table numbers (after E-pics)
• Photo sharing cards
• Place cards/Escort cards
• Menus (after final tasting)
• Make pomanders for flower girl(s)
• Order wedding bands
• Groom and BP tuxes

Deep breaths. I just have to keep reminding myself to take lots of deep breaths! I have an ambitious plan for getting a lot of the DIY projects started in the coming month. I know it will all come together in the end and, some of the list is just details. Still... Any tips to help make this easier would be welcome!
