85 days!

I cannot believe how quickly this past year has flown by! We have been engaged almost a year now, and I feel like it was just yesterday. That being said, I am so ready for the wedding! We have (almost) all of our "big" items done or in the process of being done... Now it's all down to the details. I have made myself a checklist of our wedding-specific things that need to get done. I am a checklist person. You should see my planner. Here's our knot.com list for this month!

Order your invitations and announcements (don't forget plenty of extra envelopes).
Grooms: Start looking to buy or rent tux, suit, or other formal attire.
Grooms: Start planning your groomsmen's attire: Tux or suit?
Grooms: Give all of the groomsmen the information they need to buy and/or reserve their attire.
Shop for and purchase wedding bands.
Pick up your invitations.
Grooms: If you are renting a tux, visit the formalwear shop to get measured.
Talk to people you'd want to do special performances or readings as part of the ceremony.
Start addressing invitations or drop them off with the calligrapher (you'll need to send them out at the two-month mark).
Arrange for all insurance policies to include you and your future spouse: health, auto, homeowner's, and life insurance.
Arrange wedding-day transportation for you, your wedding party, and guests (as needed).
Send out invitations (be sure to add extra postage for overseas guests).
Order liquor, wine and/or champagne if they're not included in the catering contract.
Begin working on vows, particularly if you're writing your own.
Brides: Decide on and purchase major accessories (veil and shoes) prior to final fittings.
Begin writing the ceremony program if you are having one.

The fabulous Kat and Audra have been working on our invites. Let me tell you, they are going to be amazing, if I do say so. Those girls are awesome for helping us out. I can't wait to start addressing envelopes. Wow, I am a dork. Everything else is really moving along. Keep thinking of us, guys. And you just might get a phone call to see if you'll help us do something crafty. Much love....
