Guh. Its a lot, huh? What am I missing? Help a sistah out and speak up if you see a big gaping hole, y'hear?
Tomorrow night I head off to Chicago for a whirlwind weekend of wedding goodness. MaPo is heading up my bachelorette party along with sister (and MOH) Dawn, and I can't wait to see what they have in store. My mom and Dawn have also helmed a shower that I know nothing about except what time it starts. I'm so excited and feel totally spoiled by all the love. It will be the first time my whole bridal party is together, and I can't wait for them to get acquainted. Big ups to my fabulous sister Kimberly and future sister-in-law Cathy for making the trip to Chicago for lil' old me!
Speaking of sisters - happy birthday to Dawn today! My Maid of Honor, my sister, my heart!
Phew. Feels good to get it all written down in one place. How do you manage your checklist?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say the creepiest thing I've ever posted online. I'm going to be in Chicago this weekend too for a celebration, and if I see you out...I'm so saying something.
*Creepy moment over*
I'm missing you by one week! I'll be there next weekend for mine! How funny!
Wow! You have a TON done! Breathe easy and have a great time at your shower and bachelorette party!
I was going to write a post about my bachelorette party the other day, but had some difficulties with it. (Seems one of the places I went turned into quite an "unsavory" place!)
I would hate to mention it and have tons of sickies emailing me! Ah, whatever..., I might just post it anyway!
Have a great time!
That's a great list with checks by it! Have a fun and fabu time this weekend! Can't wait to hear all about it!

I am very close to booking the same venue! I emailed you awhile back & I'll be emailing you again (but I'll wait til you get back) to ask you a few things. There are some logistics that I haven't quite put together yet.
Have a great time!
I am so excited for you. I love girl time especially when it is all focused on me. hehehehe Have a blast. and I promise you will get everything done that needs to be done. LVKM
Geez lady I'd say you're well ahead of schedule so get out there and have the best shower ever! Woo-hoo!
PS. Is ipod DJ not an option? We did and it worked like a charm!
Isn't it satisfying to check things off the list? Looks like you're in great shape. Enjoy the party!
PS LOVE that you have an organic florist! That sent me on a wild hunt to find one up here in the Bay... turns out they're not as easy to come by as one might hope (I wrote a whole post on it.) Nice work, especially on that and the dress!!!
Hi - Love your clutch! I have one, too.
How about a Guest Book or Favors? Did I over look that at 12:24 am - or is that your Photo Booth?
List looks great!
Hi there - Just wanted to say that your blog is awesome and your checklist is incredibly organized. Good luck to you, I hope your wedding day turns out to be more than you expected!
I noticed that you are getting your license within 60 days before the ceremony. Is that ok? I thought you had to get it within 30 days or am I just remembering when I got married almost 33 years ago!
Wow, only 2 more months to go!! I hope you'll swing by LA Style Unveiled for some more inspiration before the big day ... congrats and best wishes from the LA Style Unveiled team!
Are you doing a card box? I saw a really cool bird cage at like a Ross or something that you could use... I think it was like $5 or something around that, just an idea :-)
