I use the check list from the knot. It is sectioned off in months so it's not so intimidating. You can also add your own to dos to the list to personalize the list.

Wow, that's a lengthy list. I got so overwhelmed by it I just had to skim! And it's not even mine! You've got 5 months left though so you'll be ok!

Our list is pretty small - we really only have to order the flowers, write vows, buy rings, get our license, mail the invites, etc. Our big obstacle is helping all of our family and friends find reasonably priced travel deals to and in Vegas. It's become quite an overwhelming ordeal!

Ironically, I just added disposable cameras to mine after I saw yours. :)

We created the OneWed Savvy Guide to help make the list less daunting... We are distributing hard copies of it at all the bridal shows advertised on OneWed and have a link to a .PDF copy that you can download and print:

I hope it helps (and it is funny too...)

That is really cool! I wish I had THAT for my planning!

Your wedding isn't too much sooner than ours, so looking at your list gave me the wedding planning "bug" again, haha. It's so overwhelming to think of everything that has to be done... but we can do it!!

(I'll be posting my list soon in my journal.)

[starsthrumysoul]

I've gotten a LOT done this past week, and it makes me feel great!!!!

Check off the list:

Visit bakery and order cake
Make programs (almost done!)
Finalize guest list
Choose favors
Get prices for hotels
Choose who we want to perform the ceremony (asked her - waiting for answer)
Buy cake topper

I feel so productive :)

I just made my list today and it's a little overwhelming to see how much I need to get done in 4 months! You seem very organized though and have already knocked a few of the things off the list! :D

[MrsDM]

See, you are in the same stage I am in. You have the big things done, but now just the putsy things. You seem to have everything together, just try not to get overwhelmed by your list! Plus, at the rate you've been going this week, that list will be gone very soon!
