Big ol' wedding planning explosion

For the past few days, my wedding planning has reached a fever pitch. I think it's finally hit me that the wedding is only about 3 MONTHS away- how crazy is that??? It's been this distant thing for so long that it's taking awhile to sink in that it's not that far off.

Now, thankfully, most of the big stuff was out of the way already. We had the venue, the caterer, the baker, the DJ, the florist, and everything for the ceremony. All we had left at this point was the attire for the men, the DIY projects I've signed up for, the invites, and accomodations/transportation. I am happy to report that after a few days of very intense planning and crafting, I have knocked everything but the attire off the list! I picked a hotel out of the 20+ that I ended up calling, and I'm happy we were able to find something that works perfectly. Bonus- the hotel was able to give us a fantastic deal on a shuttle, meaning that taking care of the hotel also ended up taking care of the transportation. Woot! Side note- for any Toledo brides-to-be, the Country Inn & Suites in Rossford (where we booked rooms) is just a wonderful deal.

I also took care of the majority of the remaining DIY projects. I was able to finish the cocktail table floral arrangements, the aisle decorations, and a big awesome slightly blinged floral monogram piece for our entryway. Hey, I needed a little bit of sparkle for the wedding! And as of last night, I have invites! I was able to meet up with my Aunt Mary, who is a wedding stationery, and picked out some lovely and unique laser cut wedding invites. I'm so excited to see how they look in our colors.

My one and only teensy concern after all this is: wow, we have a ton of DIY stuff that we have to set up at the venue! One of the things that I love, love, love about the Zoo is that they have an on-site coordinator who will help with setting stuff up, but I'm kind of worried that we may have exceeded an unspoken limit on the amount of stuff that they'll handle. Fingers crossed that I'm still ok. Then again, I could always just make someone from the bridal party do it for me. It can be my one and only "I am the briiiiiiide! DO STUFF FOR ME!" moment. :-P
