So, it's now exactly four weeks until we get married. That's both exciting and freaky. Here's what we've gotten done so far:
Le Jardin is scheduled and paid for. My linens have been selected. We have selected and booked a cater. My cake has been chosen. My colors were selected long ago. My mom is almost done with the alterations on my dress--though she is very hesitant to mail it. I have selected someone to do my hair; I have a trial run scheduled for Monday. My makeup has been selected. Temple dress is being hemmed as we speak. Invitations have been printed. We are going to address them and mail them sometime very very soon. We have an apartment. We have a bed. We have registered our gifts.
I just don't know when my bridals will be. I really want to take them, but my mom is very hesitant to mail my dress. Any recommendations for mailing wedding dresses? I absolutely do not have time to take bridals a week before my wedding. Endowment, finals, moving, graduation...yeah, no time.
I will most likely be receiving my endowments the Saturday before I get married. Most girls do it the day before, but (a) I'm graduating the day before and (b) I never wanted to have to get mine the day before. Too much in one weekend. I want to have a week to take it all in. I will most likely get my endowments in Mount Timpanogos.
Yeah, that's the rundown of what is left.

You're getting so close! I have no ideas about mailing the dress. What if you waited and did bridals the day of your wedding? Don't know if you'll have time before or after the reception, but you wouldn't have to worry about getting your hair and makeup done another day.
Also, good choice on getting your endowment earlier. The day before my wedding was one of the most stressful days of my life. There was so much to do!
I'm really not going to have time at all that day for anything besides wedding pictures. I would like my bridals done before so I can display a few at the reception...
Not that I have any experience mailing wedding dresses, but from sending stuff out at the law firm I'd say definitely go with FedEx and insure the heck out of it. If you specify, "direct signature required" with FedEx, the delivery man will not be able to leave it with anyone except for you. Also, FedEx gives you a tracking number so you can obsessively check their website and see exactly where your package is at any given moment (I was stalking an 18 lb. box of fortune cookies about a month ago).
Or you could always buy the dress a seat on an airplane. I heard Bono did that for a hat once. :)
