Wedding Planning
Right, I think we’re on track. This is mainly for my own and Seamus’ records, but if anyone who has planned a wedding looks over this and finds a glaring gap, do let us know.
Wedding Venue: Booked, down payment made
Celebrant: Contacted one we like, waiting on reply
Guest List: Finalised, not everyone we'd like to be on it is on it, but that happens nearly every wedding I think
Rings: Spoken to Ben, he’s happy to make them and has given us an estimate, saving up for them now.
Readings: One picked out, still working on the other
Ushers: One asked, still waiting til can see other in person to ask
Songs: Processional decided on, piece for when signing the certificate not picked, recessional not picked but some ideas
Bridesmaids: All picked out and happy (I hope!)
Groomsmen: All picked out and happy (I hope!)
Photographer: Easy! Helps when you’re marrying the brother of a professional photo journalist!
Reception Venue: Booked
Car: Email sent, not heard back
Catering: Booked, need to finalise quantities
Booze: Have contacted wholesaler and venue, will be tasting soon and deciding on types.
Music: Some songs picked out, going to venue on Thurs to work out if we need to hire an amp/pa or if their system is fine
Bridal Waltz: Nothing organised yet
Groom’s Suit: I believe vague plans are in the offing
Groomsmen suits: Eh, that can be organised later
Dress: Picked out, down payment made
Accessories: Bought or arranged from whom to borrow
Bridesmaids Dresses: Vague plans made, waiting til after Eva’s honeymoon to finalise
Hair and Makeup: Stylist booked, trial sometime in November
Tablecloths: Found a place to hire from, will order once number needed confirmed
Cake: Are pencilled in with Cakes of Distinction, going in Thurs to discuss flavours and designs.
Flowers: Have made initial contact with a florist, alternatively will just buy some on the day/day before. (to get a bouquet made up is over $150, to just buy 12 long stemmed roses is $60, it is just me or is a bouquet a wrought?)
Favours: Vague plans made
Invitations/Programs/RSVPs/Printed stuff: Got quote, have agreed to it, awaiting specifications and then will design. Wording had been worked out.
Registry: Done
Speeches: Have told my parents to sort it out between them, still need to ask other people
MC: Big Jim!
Something to entertain children: No idea, colouring books? Do kids still colour these days? There is a pool table for the older ones. Maybe we’ll just tell them to bring their DS’…
Wedding Night: Hotel decided on, not yet booked
House sitter: Vague plans made, depending on peoples living arrangements by then
Okay, what have we missed?
