That is some list and I know it may all seem impossible but between 3 and 4 months is really when you get it all done and well leading up to the week of! SOme times you want to scream at how stressful and how much it seems. But remember with help of your fiance and loved ones it can all be done. And with nice and helpful vendors lets home.
I always like a favor that guests can eat, like the jam you were thinking of that would be nice, and maybe paired with something else as well that would be part of your fiance's background.
We ended up never taking dance lessons and it was no big deal! We might have danced like everyone else there knows how to dance, nothing fancy! But it was our first dance and we loved it.
Cant wait to hear about the surprise…I surprised my fiance with a Pittsburgh Steelers Groom's cake…as you saw on my blog! :) ♥
Take one task at a time, get some help with some items, and remember to relax in between.
Have a great weekend too!
