I'm willing and able to help, especially since it appears you're a fellow Michigan alum (true?). <br /><br />Here's where we stand on your checklist:<br /><br />Guest List - done, but still missing a couple addresses<br />Invites - designed, paper/eps purchased, ready to print <br />Mitzvah (charity) Project- chosen and in process.<br />Florist - not having one<br />Caterer - all done by the restaurant<br />DJ, photographer, entertainment - my husband's problem<br />Video Montage - WORKING ON IT!<br />Hair appts - thank god he's a boy<br />Hebrew Names for family - who the f**k knows.<br />Other children's clothing/shoes - working on it<br />Husband's suit/shoes - his problem. <br />Son's outfit/shoes - this weekend.<br />My outfit - who the f**k knows.<br /><br />Thanks for the list.

I'd say take notes over the next few weeks about everything you love/hope for your beautiful girl.
