Countdown: 1 month!


And we're onto our last streeeeetch! Last month to finish everything before we reach the culmination of everything that we've been doing the past 2 years. I'm feeling strained more and more mainly because of the sudden spike of workload this month. Tons of things to deliver with so little time. I'm eagerly anticipating my break from work as the wedding will also serve as a much awaited breather for me. 


Excitement for the wedding itself hasn't kicked in yet but I'm looking forward to feeling warm, giddy, and kilig all over. Haha. Enough of this non-sense! Let's now talk business and see our completion rate against last months's task list.
  • Send-out all invitations - In progress. Most have been released already but some are still waiting for Christmas reunions to come so they can be delivered to the respective recipients. :)
  • Complete processing of marriage license - DONE. We finally have our license! Yipee!
  • Update Darlene's  program workbook
  • Compile photos for AVP presentations - DONE. Photos for Prenup AVP has been sent to Darlene while the Growing Up photos will be shared to Ariel Javelosa soon.
  • Create our missals - DONE. Layout completed and just waiting to finalize some contents before we proceed with the printing.
  • Complete our wedding day accessories
  • Pick-up my wedding shoes - DONE. I love how my shoes turned out!
  • Complete layouts for stationery - DONE. Adrin did a great job completing all this. 
  • Label/pack our giveaways - In progress. I already commissioned my trusted bridesmaid to put the twines on our small jams. Packing for other giveaways or tokens haven't started yet. 
  • Finish DIY Signage
  • Entourage dress fitting and delivery - In Progress. Almost all of our entourage have completed fitting their dresses save for our two flower girls. This will be completed within the week. Actual delivery of the dress will be on January. 
  • Delivery of barongs to male entourage - In Progress. Some have been delivered already while others are still waiting for the reunions to happen. :)
  • Another meeting with KTG
  • Finalize song list
  • Shop for house fixtures - DONE. BUT this is a work in progress while the construction is still on-going. 

Uh oh. Lots of items not striked out. But as Adrin would always tell me, fret not because looks like we're still in good shape since we also managed to accomplish these other items.
  • Complete Rustan's and SM Bridal Registry
  • Order for custom hangers
  • Receive our cake toppers and clay giveaways
  • Picked-up the jams
  • Final detailing with florist

Oh how I badly wish everything will be completed a week before the wedding. May the list below be a comprehensive guide of all the things we need to complete. 
  1. Finalize Darlene's program workbook
  2. Complete our wedding day accessories
