The Scatterbrained Groom has been mocking me mercilessly for having what he calls "Wedding Fever." And it's true - I have taken over much of our living space with all off my wedding planning periphinalia. See exhibit A:
Mission Control. Notice The Knot open on my laptop.
I have taken over the dining room table. Sure, we have an office, but my desk is so covered with actual work-related things that there isn't enough room for the piles and piles of wedding stuff. You gotta do what you gotta do.

The book. I kind of wish I had a 3-ring binder book as this is stuffed
to the gills. But it keeps all of my lists, contracts, etc in one place
so I guess it's doing it's job. Very helpful advice on selecting vendors, too.
The Knot Complete Guide to Weddings- Very helpful resourceFirst mock-up of our invites (it pains me to have to blur out the prettiest font) -
these will probably change 1000 times before we actually send them out. I'm
pretty happy with the overall look, though.
My stack o' inpiration magazines. I LOVE Martha Stewart.
And this particular issue has great DIY ideas.
The box holds a variety of DIY supplies, mostly for our Save-the-dates
and invitations (I'll be posting lots about these in the future!).
Fruit bowl is not wedding-related.
I know that it's a little out-of-control, but I need to have all of this stuff out, organized, and where I can see it so I don't forget about things. I have a bad habit of putting things somewhere and forgetting where they are...also, unless something stares me in the face on a daily basis, I have a tendency to procrastinate. While all of my to-do lists and supplies are out where I can see them, I think about them every day. Now, this might be annoying to some, but it's excellent motivation for me to keep up with those to-dos. I'm pretty much on track, and even ahead of the curve on several tasks (the invitation design, for example).
So sorry, sweetie - I know the wedding has taken over the front room (and we're still 10 months out! I don't even want to think how it will look once we really get into the DIY zone - paper, flowers, photos, EVERYWHERE). You could always donate your half of the office to the cause...
