Checking things off

935 days into our engagement (I cheated and used an online date calculator...shh) there are more than a few projects for the wedding that have been on our radar for a LONG time, but it has never seemed crucial that they happen soon. Now only 42 days from the wedding, it's high time to get things done! So, here are the things we'll finally check off this weekend:

1.) Clear out the Amazon wish list [this has been a year in coming, and (to quote a master) "Boyzo," it feels good to have this done!]

2.) Use up my third Vistaprint Groupon of the wedding planning process. Jury is still out on whether we'll need another.

3.) Finalize the reception space layout with the Black Tie Co. people.

4.) Harrass family and friends as the RSVP deadline encroaches (hint, hint...)

5.) Move closer to having the beer favors ready - nothing like brewing in 90 degree heat!

6.) Possess everything necessary for the candy buffet!

7.) Buy gifts for the little people in the wedding party.

8.) Write vows!

In addition, I've spent this afternoon doing all sorts of silly tasks like designing beer labels, wrapping ribbon around vases, and getting so engrossed in wedding details that I forgot about the laundry. Thankfully, nobody in their right mind wants to hang out in a humid laundry room when it's 95 degrees out.

A special thank you to Mom, who has been putting together rehearsal dinner options and booked a location this afternoon! It sounds like great food, a convenient space, will be a wonderfully relaxing evening before the wedding, AND allows me to check off multiple to dos on the checklist I've been using as we count down!

All in all a productive wedding-planning day, with a lot more to get done tomorrow. Stay cool, New England. And others, I suppose :)
