Tying the Knot: Big Time Check-List

The current countdown to the wedding is at 134 days and I can't believe we're almost to the "4 months left" mark! Time is absolutely flying by and I wanted to get everything laid out as to what has and needs to be done. Overall, I'm feeling pretty good about how the planning is going. There are a few bigger things that still need to be checked off the list but thankfully most everything either can't be done yet or is going to be done soon. This planning process has been tons of fun for me so far but I'm sure that as the days tick away things will get more busy!

  1. So exciting! Congratulations on being so on top of it! The only thing I can think of is if you were going to design your own thank-yous it may be easier for you if they're ready before you go on your honeymoon, that way they're ready to send out sooner!
