Crunch Time

     A couple months ago I shared that my sister was engaged, and has asked me to be her Maid of Honor. I'm still excited, but the timeline for all of this has been shortened significantly--from a year and several months to (at the time) 69 days. We're counting down and at day 14 now. That comes to just two weeks before we're inundated with family and friends for the event, you wouldn't believe what goes on the to-do list when the time gets so short. For example:

• laundry
• flowers
• hair & nails
• insurance certificate
• chairs & tables
• people to help decorate
• grocery shopping

Just because there's a wedding doesn't mean everything else stops--June is a busy month and on top of all the preparations cleaning the house and finding the manpower to complete tasks on the to-do list becomes the most important. 

     It's exciting to have such a milestone coming up for someone in the family, but how do wedding planners do this all the time? I'm off to get some more things checked off that to-do list.
