Festivities Timeline

I have anxiety just thinking of thinking about it and planning it lol.. I would sit with them all figure out how to make a useful timeline (that you’ll actually keep up with and keep track on) look on Pinterest!!!!

I’m a list maker lol I make like 3 lists a day of everything it’s crazy. My FH always says - op there she goes again making lists lol whenever he sees me at the kitchen island

I am also a list writer and note taker....lol... I own so many notebooks. I created a monthly plan for my wedding planning. I listed what I wanted to find, do, purchase, get done, and make on a monthly basis. My bridal party knows what months I need to have certain things done (dress purchases, bridal shower, decor).

I agree with Shayna and Leticia. Lists keep me organized and allow me to go back and look at what's been done vs what still needs to be done. Our wedding is pretty low-key. We've got the venue set. Photographer set. We need to buy the decor, get the serve ware/cutlery and things like that. We also have to book a bartender to service our reception. Our officiant has been sourced. Since we're doing a late night ceremony/cocktail reception, we've formulated a tentative list of food/drinks we wish to serve at our wedding. So there's nothing we can do in terms of the food right now. Bakery has been chosen and secured for our cake. Still browsing invitations but I've found two that I really like on Vistaprint. I'll probably order those early November, just to have them here at home for mailing when it's time. Bridesmaids dresses are not yet purchased, neither are the groomsmen attire either. That'll come within the next 3 months hopefully. I would say January the latest, everyone should have their clothes. I still haven't gotten my wedding dress, and I'm looking for cheap options, as I don't care much about the dress. I found my hair dresser, not yet MUA unfortunately. My advice to you would be to make a list as a word document that you can add, omit or replace various tasks. That will surely keep you organized and in the know. Excel is a great tool as well. Ensure major vendors have already been contacted by this point, Month Twin! LOL that will definitely lessen stress. Have a solid team you can count on when you're overwhelmed. Take periodic breaks from wedding planning- it can become too much at times. Wishing you all the best, Paulette!

View Quoted Comment Love it ! My FH thinks im crazy — we are still over a year away from wedding — he doesn’t know crazy yet 🤣🤪

View Quoted Comment I agree !! You don’t want to get overwhelmed and o we stressed so deff take some days off and just relax from it (as hard as it is to do)

I found the Knot checklist to be very helpful. You can add and take away items and change the dates of items as well.
