Gahhh so exciting! It's so close! Now I know why you've been so stressed with this list. Sit back and enjoy it lady

Yur list looks like mines. For my seating chart, I used Wedding Wire and did a mock list on paper first which worked out for me... I got it done in about an hour.

I thought about the Wine Box ceremony but we went with the Unity candle at the request of our parents.

Good Luck with your list... I will be taking tips from you for sure!

Holly said...

soo sooo close! You sound like everything is pretty much done, just a final few details :) so exciting!

Don't forget to enjoy the moment. It can be so easy to be stressed about little things because you want everything to be perfect. Even if everything goes wrong (crossing my fingers it won't) everything will be perfect nonetheless because you will be joining your life with the one you love.
Oh and for the seating chart I recommend using something I used for my wedding planning back in 2007- http://www.ezweddingplanner.com
I LOVE THAT WEBSITE. It looks a little "old" but I promise it works like a charm.

I've never gotten married...but my advice is to enjoy your day! Don't worry about everything going right because nobody but you will know if it was right or not! Easier said than done I'm sure but always good to keep in mind!

So excited for you!

My advice: Use and abuse your M.o.H. I am here to help make anything easier for you. I want you to slow your roll for a moment and enjoy your last few days as being Miss Sieberg. Your birthday is in 2 days, take a deep breath, and just enjoy that it's your birthday and enjoy all the love that's shared with you and the happiness that your mom and dad gave to the rest of the world on your birthday 23 years ago!

Then next week, slow down and enjoy being a girlfriend/fiance for the last week.
All the tasks that need to get done will get done, just CALL YOUR MOH!!! That's what I am here for! Tell me whatever needs to be done and I'm on it.
After Tuesday, 3:30PM, I'm all yours till Sunday 10PM.
I want you to enjoy this next week as much as possible!!!
