Your next largest task is compiling and organizing the guest list, and I suggest making two lists. The A list . . and a B list (when A list members RSVP "cannot attend").
You will make this job a lot simpler by having everyone’s names and addresses ready for envelope addressing. In other terms, make sure you have everyone’s name spelled correctly and that you have the right take up and zip code.
And you will also need to research how to take up the "inside" envelope if you are having one. Addressing invitation envelopes takes a long time, especially if you have to stop and make touchtone phone calls for street take up help.
Here’s some other things that you can do in advance . .
Buy postage stamps
Take up "Thank You" note envelopes (to people that you know that are certainly coming to your wedding and giving you a gift)
Taste test wedding cakes
Make lists (what do I need to take to the ceremony site, what do I need to take to the reception hall, what do I need for the bride’s wedding day emergency kit, what do I need to take on my honemoon)
Check you closet and bureau drawers for items that need to be discarded, it’s a excellent time to get rid of some things (clothes, CDs, books)
Check your closet for items that need to be bought for your honeymoon . . a new bathing suit? cocktail dress? new luggage? sunglasses?
Do you need to obtain a passport?
Learn to cook several new recipes (make October soup month, make November Italian month, make December cookie month, etc)
Buy a "Thank You" book so you will know how to say "Thank You" in various ways for your wedding gifts (it’s a fantastic help)
Reckon about, and then buy, and then wrap your attendants’ and parents’ "Thank You" gifts (it’s much simpler doing it now than a week before you wedding day.
Determine where you want to have your rehearsal dinner or "day after" brunch/breakfast
Determine who you want to invite to the rehearsal dinner or "day after" brunch (buy the invitations, take up the invitations)
Have a "girls night out" or a "girls night in" (manicures, pedicures, a romantic movie, pizza, etc)

Are bridesmaid dresses ordered..is YOUR dress ordered? Do you have your shoes? Your jewelry? Did you remember your flowers? Start looking into what you’re going to do for favors and what you will get your attendants for gifts. Excellent luck!
I’m in the same situation…I’m getting married in March 2008 and have everything booked and ordered. My advice is just delight in life, delight in your fiance, and delight in not having to worry about looking for vendors.
Wow you’re instant! Why not plot out your reception decor? Choose your wedding dress, bridesmaid dresses, help your mom out with what she’s going to wear, flower girls, groomsmen attire. Have you chosen favors? Music?
try looking at what you want your tables and reception to look like, that should give you some time. But just keep yourself busy at work or go to the gym. You can also start lookign into dresses so if maybe you wanted your weeding dress but also and after party then you can look in to that, but 11 months may seem long but it will go by quick when you’re looking into what you want your wedding to be like. It’s your day so have it how you want it. Well hope this helps and excellent luck to you two for the future
There isn’t much to do for awhile. Have you ordered your dress yet? Once everything is booked then just relax. You will be stressed enough 10 months from now.
Congratulations! I am in the exact same boat that you are. We are getting married next September 20th. Since you have all of the huge things done, nowyou can mess with all of the small fun stuff like, place settings, seating charts and wedding favors. I want to be able to tell you just to chill, but that is impossble. Delight in the details but remember that they are just that…only details. Let loose at the reception and delight in yourself. Congrats again!
Go ahead and start!
In fact, the sooner you know what you want the more money you can save. It gives you plenty of time to shop around and watch for sales. It’s also a bonus because when wedding preparation starts to stress you out there is plenty of time to choose to take a day or two off from it and just realx with your fiancee.
favors? are they done? Table charts?
music selelction?
get a head start on some thank you notes!
do you have inforamation for your marriage shower and last night out party
envelope box =– I just made one for my friends wedding today!!
your best to get it done early so your not stressing out like my friend was!
Oh FYI halls are hard to get so i would book that ASAP it took my friend 3 months to find one on her date!
that was the first thing she did after getti9ng the date!
Well, you COULD consider really pursuing a leisure activity…
order dress, veil
find shoes, jewerly
find and order bridesmaid dresses, shoes, and jewerly
choose on flowers
invitations (top, wording)
guest list
cater
cake
focal top pieces
favors
gifts for your wedding party
Its never too early to start looking at or ordering any of this stuff. It’ll take time to get to you and you don’t want to be doing this a couple weeks before your wedding.
Here’s what you do: Thanks yourselves for getting organized so early, relax, and chill out until it’s time to do the invitations and final preparations.
I was in this boat a few months ago and now I am only 2 weeks away from my wedding date. The best advice I can offer you is to sign up with a website like http://www.theknot.com or buy a wedding organizer and follow the suggested checklists. Because no matter how prepapared you try to be months before you will still have a million small things to do before your huge day. Just relax and delight in this time with your fiancee and remember that your wedding day is a very vital day in your life but it is only one day and it may in the huge picture of life turn out not to be the most vital so don’t get to stressed out because things always fall in place.
