Friday- Possibly get my hair done and mail out my "save the dates"
Saturday - Take the kids to the circus and attend one of my bridesmaids daughters birthday party.
Happy Birthday Miss. Layla!!
Sunday - Meet with my BFF's (Ladawn) sister to discuss wedding plans for my BFF!!
Lastly, on Sunday I plan to go over what's left on my wedding check list.
Needless to say, I have a busy weekend ahead of me.
Lets discuss wedding checklist. It seems as if it is a neverending list of wedding related things to do. I really haen't been following a typical wedding checklist, but since I only have 8 months to go from here on out, I plan to follow one,so that I don't miss out on important tasks that need to be completed. So, to all my fellow bride-to-be's, I thought it would be nice to share a wedding checklist with you. I'm at the 6-9 month mark, so I will only list months 6 - 12 months out.
All things bolded and underlined have been completed so far!
Happy Planning!
