"Lady" in waiting

Hey ladies,
with a little less than 3 months to go, I am feeling very "unuseful"; it is like I did so much in the begining, now I am just waiting...I am blessed to have someone doing all of my flowers, centerpieces, decorating the hall and catering; contact has been made with all "key" people-musician, videographer, photographer, minister; below are things that I have completed or I've scheduled to complete, but I feel like I SHOULD be doing something else:

Invitations/napkins ordered and received
favors completed
Bridal party dresses received and paid for (waiting until after 1st of year for fittings)
Majority of attendant gifts bought (just waiting until closer to time to purchase jewelry)
Cake(s) ordered

Things scheduled to do:
Programs (waiting until closer to time-because FH may have to replace some people)
Attendants jewelry/Men's gifts

what am I missing???

Re: "Lady" in waiting

Appears that you have eveything under control and ready to go
I only wish I was the same

What is your wedding date?

I guess you can just sit back and relax

Will you guys need transportation such as a limo from the church or anything? Are you all taking a honeymoon right after the wedding?

I cant think of anything else
You are so lucky!

Re: "Lady" in waiting

I found this on a website for 3 months to go: (My additions are in parentheses)

1)Give a list of "Must Take" photographs to your wedding photographer

2)Discuss your wedding menu with your caterer

3) Meet with your officiant to discuss the wedding ceremony/program

4) Write your wedding vows

5) Attend any bridal showers

5) Mail your wedding invitations (really for 6-8 weeks to go)

6) Think about your hair and makeup

No-we are renting a hummer for the weekend so transpo is covered as far as from the church, to the church he will be in the Hummer and I will be probably driving myself
Yes, we are flying to Jamaica the next day, trip is paid for, passports ready, but will probably just pick up some last minute "outfits" (don't want to purchase those until closer to the spring when spring clothes are out)

Re: "Lady" in waiting

Great! so STOP WORRYING! Check online for other to-do lists (if you want) and check them off.....if not, relax....weddings do not HAVE to be hectic....some brides CREATE the chaos without knowing it.....you my dear are one of a few so relax....

Oh yeah!
Is the guest list complete? What about the seating chart? or at least a draft? Okay I'm done.....so now, you can take FH out or do something fun!

Guest list is not complete but it won't take long for that, and we are not going to have a seating chart-my caterer is already aware that we want 2 reserved tables for family close to the head table, but other than that everyone can sit where they want
