Maximizing Upcoming Wedding Spend

Hi All!
My fiance and I will have about 8-12K in spend that will be made from mid-September through late October for our wedding. I was originally planning on the 100K Citi AAdvantage offer, but I don't think I'll be able to get the spend done within 90 days as the offer seems to be fading away. My credit score is in the 790's and I currently have the Chase Hyatt and Amex Blue Cash. My plan is below. Not interested nor will I qualify for any business cards. Any other ideas for cards to pick up?

Barclay US Airways Premier, 1st purchase 40K miles
Chase Saphhire Preferred, $3k spend, 45K points with authorized user
Citi AAdvantage, $3k spend, 30K miles


As for what we are doing with the miles/points, we aren't quite sure. I was thinking of getting US and AA miles since they will merge in 2015. Our honeymoon will be more of a anniversary due to limited time off at work, likely an AI in the Caribbean so the points/miles will be mainly used for flights. I just didn't want this large spend to go to waste! Thanks in advance!
