To-Do List & Checks

The checklist tool on weddingwire has been extremely helpful with keeping us on track with our wedding plans. The month to month to do list is very detailed. However, I have been a bit laxed lately. It isn't easy keeping up with my studies and working part time while planning a wedding. We are also doing some remodeling in the kitchen and dining room. I feel a little overwhelm right now but I guess that's normal. I just need to get the ball rolling. So here is what needs to be crossed off.

1. I need to pick out a wedding band! Monday I will be visiting Ultra Diamonds to see if they have a nice selection of curved micro pave diamond bands.

2. Place orders for custom ties

3. Order Photo Frame card box. I finally found a unique and secure card box that we can re-use after our wedding. They are also fairly affordable too.

4. Order Toasting Flutes. Etsy seller, Laserbird has a beautiful collection of personalized toasting flutes. I saw a pepe le pew set that is purrrfect for us.

5. Misc Decor Stuff - luminaries, tea lights, led tea light, glass place card holders, wedding ceremony rug and pillows for the traditional portion of the Cambodian wedding

6. Put together favor bags for the kids. Yes, the kids. I decided the adults don't need favors but it would be nice to individualize the favors for the kids with gift bags I plan on putting together.

7. Go shopping with my bridesmaids to pick out fabric for their dresses

8. Bridal Shower sometime in mid April

9. Take our e-pics sometime in late April

10. Finish my final DIY project: Manzanita Escort tree

11. Continue with my skin care regiment and diet plan

UPDATE:

We booked a videographer! It was a bit of a splurge for us but David from Waves Media worked with us to ensure that we get coverage for both the traditional Cambodian ceremony and the Western reception. Pepe and I decided that our visual memories are too important to miss out on.

No tux rentals as the cost was close to $600 for 3 suits. We decided that buying suits would cost slightly more but at least the guys would get to keep them. The attire also works better for our destination seaside soiree.

We ordered the table linens for the reception tables at Smarty had a party. Reasonable prices plus free shipping and special promo code via FB saved us some moolah. I still need to purchase 4 banquet table linens and 4 table linens for the 48" tables.

Set up a tasting with B & M Clambake next week. We choose a menu of classic comfort foods for cocktail hour. I am soOo looking forward to it.

My sister and I have started working on the origami crane escort cards but I won't have all of them completed until final count. Yay for productivity!
