Ok, so I need to consult "The Bride's Book of Lists" & see where I am when it comes to 6 months out.
Let's where I'm at via self-brainstorm!!
- Ceremony site: Prince of Peace Catholic Church (blurry pics) @ 2pm --- CHECK!
- Reception site: Saffron's Wrought Iron Hall -- CHECK!!
- Invites: Picked out, not ordered -- No worries!

Ok, so that's approximately where I'm at...but I need to double check against some other type of crazy checklist. I'm thinking so far so good. If you have any advice for me, PLEASE GIVE!! I'm started to get a bit stressed about it all & I'm going to have to take some "mental health" days from work to get this stuff done.

Wow, that's a lot of stuff! If you don't have time, just order some save the dates! Although, you are kinda close to the wedding now, so it might not be worth it. Seems like save the dates are for when the wedding is like a year away - invites are going out in a few months anyway.
Seriously - I would not worry about Save the Dates (aka STD - which makes me chuckle). You know I'm totally here for you for engagement photos and stuff like that if you need it. :) I'm not sure exactly where you live, but if it's in or near G'ville - that's only 2 hrs from me. I could make a quick drive out there if you have a good park or some spots in mind. :) I'm free most weekends (except next weekend).
you know you can always check vista print for the free post cards
I would have to agree with ETK, save the dates really aren't necessary. Everyone that is going to be invited basically should already know when the date is. It sees like the save the date thing is a recent thing. It is just another thing you have to worry about so don't:)!
I agree, forgo the STD's, one less thing to stress over
Where is Saffron's? It seems to be a popular spot for wedding receptions. We are new to Greenville and just beginning our wedding planning.
Thanks!
