That's less than 5 months!
Needless to say, I'm feeling a bit like this:

Lately, I've been accomplishing nothing. Unless you count adding more items to my to-do list as accomplishing things.
But, things are looking up. This Saturday, our wedding venue has an Open House. This will be my chance to re-visit the spaces and (hopefully) get re-motivated for wedding projects.
Some of the things I'm planning on doing at the Open House:
Taking pictures - I don't remember what anything really looks like... I mean, I have some fuzzy pictures in my head, which I assume are not very realistic.
Measuring stuff - I want to know the exact dimensions of the event shelter, wedding arch, tables that will need decorating, the event co-ordinator... Okay, maybe that's going too far, but I want to know exactly how much of everything I need.
Asking questions - How much Host Insurance coverage ($-wise) do we need to have? What are our back-up rain plans? What's the best way to approach buying wine/liquor/soda/mixers? Do I need to buy ice? The list is endless... Of course, there is no real "list", so that's one of my to-do's for before Saturday.
Taste stuff - The exclusive caterer will be on site and there may be some other vendors present as well. This will be a chance to try a couple food options before we even have our official tasting.
Following the Open House, I'm hoping to get my butt in gear. With a new enthusiasm (hopefully gained over the weekend), I feel like decisions I've been putting off may come a bit easier. And, once I've finalized a few of the decor plans, maybe I can finally start buying stuff and DIY-ing my little heart out.
Did/does your venue have an Open House? Any suggestions for getting the most out of another visit to the ceremony and/or reception spaces? Did you have any events like this that got you moving on your wedding plans and projects?
I don't know about you Misty but I got nothing done at the Open House. There was too many people and not enough house. But I have to admit I did enjoy the food :)
ReplyDeleteWe headed up to the Runway Cafe down the road to test it out for our rehersal brunch. It was really awesome! Food and entertainment.
I had such great plans for that day - and I didn't get most of it done either. It was almost impossible to get through most of the house; I guess I didn't realize how many people would be there.
ReplyDeleteThe food was great. I haven't had my offical tasting yet; so, it was exciting to try a few of Medure's items.
Seeing it all again made the wedding seem so much more real (and way sooner than I realized)!
