I'm getting married next MONTH!

A bit more of a lighthearted post this time. I literally can't believe the time is almost here to get married to Michael and I still feel like there is so much to do and lots of small details to finalise. I'm so nervous because I feel like I'm forgetting something and the only way I can cope is to continually write lists. My mum had a great idea to write a list for something small for me to do each day and then tick it off when I've done it. If I'm honest I've pretty much planned the whole wedding myself, granted Michael has offered help here and there but he has left it mostly up to me and I'm fine with that because it's so fun (although a little stressful whilst looking after Matilda too! ) but here are my plans for this week....

Monday: Finalise and check over wedding music playlist. I need to make sure we have a good variety of music on there but also that we have our first dance song ready. This shouldn't take me long as most of the music is all ready to just go.

Tuesday: Finish favours. I keep thinking my favours are rubbish but I've left it too late to change so I need to finish putting the chocolates in bags and tieing the ribbons around them.

Wednesday: I need to sort out my eyes today, I want to wear contacts when I get married so I am going to the opticians to sort out options. In the evening I want to look at what I want to do with my hair and try out the style I want.

Thursday: Today I need to sort out what I'm putting the children's favours in and make sure they are all finished.

Friday: Today I want to think carefully about my make up and whether I need to buy any for the wedding. I'm just going for what I normally wear, some foundation, blusher, a light grey eyeshadow and mascara. I would like to try out some different lipsticks and see which I like.

Saturday: Today I want to try on my outfit again and make sure I am happy with what I am wearing. I am going to get my mum to check everything over to see if it all looks okay.

Sunday: Today I want to finalise all the food orders and send them to the pub where we are having our reception. I also want to finalise the decisions with Michael regarding our cakes (we are going for Patessierie Valerie) and also choose a cake topper for our cakes.

That's generally the last bits and bobs to do and I probably won't do all of them this week but that's the plan! I still can't believe we have done it all for under 1k! I also need to start planning for our honeymoon/first family holiday. The day after we get married we are going to the Isle of Wight for 5 days and I'm super excited! I need to have lots of lists for what to bring for Matilda as we have to pack as lightly as possible as we will also have the buggy with us. We've booked the travel and the hotels (we are staying in Sandown and Shanklin) and I want to get some holiday clothes if money allows. It's such a busy month but so much to look forward to. I also have my hen day arranged by my super wonderful mummy friends in less than 2 weeks! I have no idea what is happening (despite constant begging) and I'm so excited to meet some of them for the first time and to have a baby free, fun day just for me. Bring it on!!!!
