I busted out three of the ten remaining favors today! BAM! I'm on a roll!

I'm trying to get everything at work in order before I leave, and that's probably the only thing I WONT have to worry about when I'm gone. A friend of mine is going to cover for me while I'm gone and she's pretty much amazing, so I know everything will be in good hands.

In other news, I contacted our venue about the FINAL floor plan (hopefully for the last time) to ask about getting one little table for a photo booth we are setting up. I told her it's by the Porta Bar in the lounge area.... and she had no idea what I was talking about. Turns out, we had made those plans with our FIRST coordinator, so it got lost somewhere along the way. After a few phone calls back in fourth and an email here or there, it's finally all settled. For now... I just had to give up the couches that I had originally wanted in there. Oh well. Couches are the least of my worry.

I also got to touch base with one of my VERY busy bridesmaids who was able to find time in her insane schedule to make menus that will be on each of the tables. They are super cute and one less thing I have to worry about. It feels so good to cross things off my list!

Tomorrow is another day, so here's hopeing I get something accomplished!!

Just when I think I can finally sit back and relax, things take a sudden and dramatic turn for the worse. Our new wedding coordinator isn't the one we started with, which is the biggest bummer out of everything. Today we met up with her, and aside from not getting any hugs, I just didn't feel like our wedding was something to celebrate, I felt like it was a giant business deal and nothing more. Where's the love? I miss our old coordinator Amanda SO much.

We got everything finalized (except for the guests we've added), and we're almost ready to go. Hmmm... it seems like we're always ALMOST ready to go. We still need to get paper for our photo printer, a program for my computer, paper, I need to make MORE placecards since the dog ate some, and MORE favors. I need to pack, figure out where the heck we are staying once we get to Italy, and I need to get the house ready for our house sitter. I'm really starting to stress out again.

Right now I'm reading a fictional book about these four girls who run a wedding business together and I can't help but wish they were in charge of our wedding. I need help, and a LOT of it.


On the eleventh day of planning my fiance gave to me, eleven songs to dance to...

Today I went through all my lists and made sure they all matched. Of course... they didn't, and I had left a few people off the main list which brought our guest cout up a little. More guests equals more Super Secret favors. I have a lot of work ahead of me this weeked... but at least I have everyone's names on place cards!

But the good news is that I was able to figure out when my hair and makeup is getting done, and get a better idea overall of what the hell I'm supposed to be doing that day.
