I love how my ticker has started counting in days now instead of months! Very exciting!!!! Only 30 days left now! I still have a lot to do, so I have decided to concentrate on a few tasks each weekend until the wedding, and that should be good. I also have the week before the wedding off work, but I don’t want to leave too much to cram into those days since things usually take longer than I think they will and I don’t want to be pressed for time.
Saturday afternoon, I’m going to concentrate on making the favors. Mom is going to help. And depending on what time you get here on Saturday nej, I would love your help to! The favors are going to be decorated favor boxes and we’ll put chocolates or mints in them closer to the wedding. Mints will likely be better incase it’s a warm day, don’t want my favours to melt! They are plain white boxes and we’re going to make stickers to put on them (one sticker will say “Carlos and Christine, September 8, 2007” and the other side will say something along the lines of “Thank you for sharing in our special day”. We are going to print these on vellum paper and then run them through my mom’s sticker maker to make them into stickers to put on the boxes. We’re then going to make a nice ribbon to go around the boxes too. It’s going to be a 1” wide black ribbon with a thinner blue ribbon centered on top of the black ribbon. It looks really nice with the 2 colours. We’re going to attach the ribbon with Velcro so people can open and close their boxes easily.
The following 2 weekends I’m going to concentrate on making the programs, pew decorations, and finalizing the seating plan. So much to do! But I think it’s doable.
Sunday afternoon is my bridal shower which I am really excited about! It’s not a surprise since I guess they had to make sure I kept the day free, but I don’t really know much about it. I think lj has done/is doing most of the planning for it (since nej thought she was going to miss it because of work, but turns out she can come now – yay!), so I’m sure it will be a great time! I’m really looking forward to it!

I might only be coming for Sunday now. It sounds like my brother is coming home for the weekend and since I haven't seen him in over 2 months, I kind of want to stay and visit with him. It's not definite, but I'll let you know tomorrow.
Sure, no problem, I understand. Mom and I can handle the favours if you can't make it, no worries. I'm sure they'll still be lots for you and I to do in the days before the wedding ;)
I am so impressed... you are such an organized bride!
