What's left???!
- Guest book table pens

- Assign groom's party, Pat, & dad ties! We have so many pretty ones!
- Wrap Jen, Pat's, and Somer's gifts + write thank you cards
- Send Jen Chase form--waiting for Kate's wedding time line to enter details.
- Purchase all alcohol. (*still assembling cost estimate*)
- Have Somer touch up the guest book table chalkboard sign (I messed it up. sigh)
- 2nd dress fitting.
- Finish drafting programs, print out, assemble in covers with ribbon.
- Get fabric for sink skirts and cushion!!
- Get thank you cards for parents.
- Write out cards for Matt + Katie + Grandmas + parents.
- Place cake order for Grannies at rehearsal dinner.
- Cut twine for napkins and label.
- Cut twine for favor boxes.
- Finish rehearsal dinner slideshow.
- Find table for TV/DVD at rehearsal dinner room.
- Hand over all materials for Somer for rehearsal dinner: place cards, table cards, pint-sized mason jars
- Another hair trial.
- Write seat chart for rehearsal dinner on chalkboard easel.
- Print out rehearsal dinner instruction cards.
All things pie!
So, alas, our pie problems are solved! God bless Whole Foods. The staff there offers the most adorable little 2.5-inch apple tarts, made fresh every day. We've got pie, we've got boxes, and an adorable design concept of vintage lace, hand-stamped "thank you" cards, twine, and peach hypericum berries from our florist, Judy. I can't wait!!
Timing for all this is a bit trickier, however, since we'll be in Leesburg on until the wedding. One idea is to place the order at the Fairfax Whole Foods--which is much closer!--and pick them up early Friday morning so we can spend the day (at least until 3 PM) wrapping them up in our little boxes. Timing, is everything!
