My Wedding According to "The Knot"

According to "The Knot" I have 143 things left to do and 12 of them are "overdue." Let's take a look, shall we, and see how much of a slacker I've been...

(Sorry this is so hard to read...)

The Knot makes it sound like such a big deal to be behind and stuff but some of their notices are kind of vague and I'm really unsure of when to check them off. for instance:

- #1 I have the caterer pretty much booked and we plan to send our deposit in this week, pending return email from caterer.

- #2 & #7 I've looked at some DJ services but they're expensive so I'm trying to find a friend to do this since all I need is someone to play an iPod and make announcements. (I'll prob check off 2).

- #3 & #5 I haven't actually decided if I want a florist yet, but I'm leaning toward doing it myself. (Again, I'll prob check off 3). 

- #4 Well, I know there are no requirements since our preacher-man is a friend of ours, but we haven't actually talked to him about what we'd like. But it's super informal so I'm sure it's not a big deal

- #6 We're working on it, we decided on a location and at least have the timeshare ready to be booked. Then we need 2 other hotels and airfare. And we don't have money yet to book airfare though I agree that we should start looking.

- #8 Why yes, I have thought about it, thanks. Though I haven't researched it, but I'm sure I could get that done in a day.

- #9 Registry is in the process of being filled out, but is it ever really done? We're registered at Crate and Barrel, Bed, Bath & Beyond and Peppercorn. Yay!

- #10 Yes, I do need to do this. Most of my BrMs have their dresses, but I need to talk to a few and also Math's girls.

- #11 We've only sorta started looking at this. We're conflicted because it's looking like the rehearsal dinner is going to be about 1/2 the size of the wedding...eeek!

- #12 Invitation wording already?! I JUST got the Save the Dates out less than a month ago! What are they smoking?

It's a good perspective and is helpful to have a list of things to do, but I think their estimates are little bit  too generous (or non-generous depending on how you look at it). Also, there are things that I want to do that aren't on there yet, so I should probably add them.

Gah...way to kill my "productive good feeling", The Knot...
