Everyone around is me a verbal countdown clock. It’s great, I’m super excited that they’re excited for me. But literally, each time someone says, a few more weeks to go…. my mental checklist, the WHOLE list flashes through my head. And my heart skips a few beats.
Here’s an update on the To Do’s that keep going on and on …
Le favors are coming together. I used my card box, prewrapped as a mixer… that’s 20 lbs of jelly beans - NUTSO sugah high I tell ya.
Thanks to my wonderful BMs (and a groomsman!), tonight we tackle tags which I’ve already punched out and just need to stuff through ribbon (which will be hell).
Because I’m crazy and I don’t think I have enough things to do, I am stuffing a tissue in glassine envelopes to put on the inside cover of our programs 
How are you dealing with ticking of the clock as it nears? Did you set up a cut off time of when things could and should get done? And if you couldn’t finish, did you take them off your list so you could relax?!

i’m at 15 days to go!!!
The good part is that everything is oddly coming together….i have a few projects to tackle this weekend that I hope I finish…
tissues in the programs is genius. No ones gonna cry at the pengy wedding cept me though, so no tissues over here. Mama Peng is gonna be like “GAWD IS IT TIME FOR WINE YET??? Whats with all the yap yap yap????”
Miss CB, those are beautiful! how did you make the stickers for the tears of joy packets?
@Squishy622: thank you! i used labels avery 5293. i created the graphic in powerpoint then grouped it, saved it as a jpg, and inserted into the doc. =0) I just wanted to keep it simple.
Yes, I hit the month countdown recently and everyone is now realizing we’re down to weeks.. and we’re talking under 5 weeks now. woohoo!
you are too creative! i am still trying to figure out what to do for favors (shhh hehe!)
yay!!! well, i know you’re stressed out, but this project looks really good!
and i want to personally thank you for telling us how you made your graphic. i knew that others were creating things in Ppt but for my life, i couldnt figure out how to save anything i created as a useable graphic.
duh!
Thanks for stating the embarrassingly obvious.
Miss CB- these are beautiful! you inspire me
Did you get those little boxes (for the votives) from cudge.net? Or did you have to buy them separately–if so, where from? thanks!!
that’s going above and beyond for you….a tissue in your program? that’s awesome!
Seriously genius idea. May steal. So cute.
Re: cut off time - today was my day! I promised myself I’d give myself a full week to relax, with no projects. I still have one or two really small things to finish, but after last night’s last all nighter, today was the first day I woke up feeling totally relieved and stress free.
Definitely recommend finishing a week early so you can chill.
@Jen: i got them from papermart! thanks for miss penguin who helped me find them =0) you’re so sweeet!
@sunnyblues: i know i am seriously psycho.
@Miss Lovebug: Definitely do it! I love em! I hate it bc it’s tedious but I LOVE muchies! My goal is to finish with a week to breathe. Let’s HOPE!
@Jen: i meant to include the link for you too … http://www.papermart.com/templates/83-0-80.htm#GO_83082

Miss Cherry Blossom, just wondering where did you get your monogram votive glasses?
@Qiaan: I actually etched those myself (and with the help my BMs of course!)

Happy etching and planning!
@Tara: I actually created those myself in powerpoint. I’ll create a tutorial and post it?

Miss CB,
Please post a tutorial for the tags I can’t figure out how to make ‘em print back to back so it’ll fit 1 square or circle tag. Also, did you use an inkjet or color laser?
i love how you respond to everyone’s questions!!!! so amazingly thoughtful of you!!!
and it makes it so easy for someone reading your post and thinking the same questions as those that have already been answered!
p.s. LOVE the thought and care you’ve put into your cute etched votives and other projects!
@jojo: Thanks jojo! That’s very sweet of you to say. Just like all the bees here, I think we’re here to share and help as much as we can! =0) Happy planning! Please do not hesitate to email or leave comments if you have questions!
