November Wedding Chore Update


The month of December is more about holiday fun and family time than planning our wedding.  We have a meeting with the preacher for another pre marriage counseling session and we are hoping to finish our music list so we can meet with the DJ.  I was also going to purchase R's wedding gift and start addressing invitations.   I'm noticing each month that a lot of this list will be reserved for the month before our wedding....eek!..so there will be a crunch time no matter how well I've tried to plan.

  1. Yay for 4 months away! Where do you plan on buying your candles? I have to buy some votives and am currently planning on buying them from QuickCandles.com. $24.99 for 144. Have you found a better deal?

    1. Oh my - hadn't thought of using 144 candles! I was going to buy the prefilled votives from AC Moore using 40% off coupons because I'm frugal like that. I think the packs have 12 candles in each. I checked your site though and they sell them too so I might try and find a better deal online. I don't know why but I've really put off buying candles for some reason like it's a "dreaded" task. You've designed tablescapes at work...how many candles are usually on each table?
