Haha....wow, that's still a lot to do. But I think we're on track. We've completed a lot so far and many of the things on the "Not Complete" list are half started.

Do you think we're on track? How much did you have left to do with 200 days left of planning?

  1. We share a date so 200 days for us too! We have similar "not done yet" lists & I like to think we still have plenty of time :-) Our bridesmaid dresses will all be bought by 4/15. Our invites decided by 4/10 (there is a sale at the stationary store). We will have our engagement photos at the end of April and we have appointments with florists then too. Slowly but surely we're on track!

  2. ummm I feel so behind!!!! I have 170days left I think? Ahhh I have so much to do I do have the big things figured out, but really need to get on top of everything else..it's very hard when I don't have much help from family and friends. I need to start trucking through the weekends and rename them wedding planning days!

  3. Well loveisyouloveisus, I think I'm a bit ahead of the game because I am making the wedding cake and groom's cake myself. I'm trying to get everything done early so I can concentrate on the cakes. You'll get it all done. And I haven't had too much help from family and friends yet, but I do plan on utilizing them in the near future!
