Jumping the gun?

Ok, so I know that y'all are going to think I'm a bit crazy.

Every bride talks about that "lull" in wedding planning. When it's too far away from the wedding to do any "real" planning, and so you just sit around itching for the months on the calendar to move by faster.

Confession: I am not one of those brides.

I did alot, very early on, and despite some comments of "why are you doing that now? You have plenty of time!" (mmhhmm, you know who you are!!! :) I moved forward with all my planning. To date, these are the seemingly small tasks that have already been accomplished:

-Ordered our customized cake topper, from the amazingly talented, mudcards on Etsy. Find her shop here
-Ordered our photo guest book
-Ordered my bridal shoes (ok, I bought three pairs, I finally found the ones!)
-Purchased our RSVP postcards. Yes, before I even decided on invitations. That's another post entirely.
-Ordered a custom return address stamp, also from Etsy. Again, without even having envelopes!
-Purchased the supplies for our DIY cardbox. I haven't yet had the time to put it all together.
-And I just purchased sand box frames. To put escort cards in. Also before choosing said cards.

See what I meant about being crazy? Honestly though, I did all these things because I happened to stumble across the right things, things I didn't even know were what I wanted until I saw them. And because I'm ordering them so far in advance, most of them were at a great price and so I felt like I couldn't NOT purchase them. Plus, it makes me feel productive. I'd rather work on little pieces now, instead of waiting until 2 montsh before and be scrambling to do all the things I forgot.

What can I say .... I'm a planner .... I like to check things off my never ending, always growing to-do list!
