Wedding: 7 Month Marker

8 Month Marker

9 Month Marker

We are officially one month closer to my big day.

…and I really have not done much more planning…

This past month I was so busy playing Santa Claus, that my wedding planning had to be put on hold.

That being said, I do owe you all a huge thank you.

Instead of posting a 7-month confession saying that I have'nt done squat, I made sure I did something.

…or, heaven forbid, I just skipped right over my 7-month post!!  That would be way too scandalous…

In other words, you all were my motivation this month.

***************************

Invitations:  We wrote the wording and confirmed the style for the invitations.  Finally, the invitation proofs have been ordered!  Once we agree that we actually love them, the invitations can be paid for and ordered.  I'm hoping to have them mailed out at the beginning of May.
Oh, how I'm dreading the collection of the addresses that I will need.  Ug!

DJ:  I'm in the midst of a debate about this.  A co-worker friend of mine agreed to DJ my wedding for a fee of $400.  In NY, a DJ can range from $1,200-$2,000 for just a basic package.  To hire my friend would mean saving a huge sum of money.  The problem is, he doesn't MC to the extent of a real MC.  He does DJ well, but people think I really need an MC/DJ.
My family/friends are dancing people, but do you think I still need an MC?

Bridesmaids Gifts:  I thought long and hard about what to give my amazing bridesmaids for a gift.  Originally, I intended to get them a gorgeous pair of earrings that they could rock at the wedding.  Unfortunately, that was too far out of my budget.  I settled on getting them a killer pair of Michael Kors shoes to wear with their dress.  Hopefully they think the heels are as hot as I do!!!

I got heels for my whole bridal party, except for Sis.  She prefers flats and I was happy to oblige considering Michael Kors was so kind as to make matching ones.  The gold sparkles will compliment the ballerina pink dresses with a pop of sexy!  I also think these shoes are nice enough to wear out or home in the future.

Would it be inappropriate for me to wear the gold heels with my wedding dress?!

Where do you think wedding plans should be at the seven-month marker?
