Nitty Gritty Checklist? EDIT: Thanks KELSEY!

I just made myself one in order to budget in my NOTES on my phone. A lot of the conversations on here have helped me add to it.. like "shit I forgot stamps"..

Good post. I need this too!

Omg I've been thinking the same thing!! Following!

I use the wedding wire checklist and added in a ton of custom items. It still gives me a heart attack every time I see overdue items though!

Ugh! I had this question too and I asked a friend and she told me I was overthinking things. I have Googled them on Pinterest and stuff but nothing has been "perfect". I guess customizing the WW one is a good idea, @rose!!!

Please remember to bring your marriage license to your ceremony venue (I've had couples forget). I also recommend you keep all your copies of legal paperwork in a binder. Once everything is signed your officiant will take and file your original license. All other paperwork should be secured in your bridal suite or any other area away from drinks, food or risk of loss. Best wishes!

Yes, I need this as well! Following!

I've been thinking the same! I got all the big stuff done no problem. I've been keeping kind of a running checklist in a notebook as I think of things.

My list for the day of: License, rings, card box, guest book, guest escort cards, table numbers, misc decor (a couple framed photos and thank you sign), cake topper. The coordinator will set these things out, and everything else is managed by vendors. Also ordering food for the bride/groom getting ready groups. (eta autocorrect)

I'm a psycho planner and made myself a color coded spreadsheet of ALL the things I'll need for the wedding and what we're spending. I doubt I've got everything, since my wedding is still 6 months away, but I think it's a good start.

You can click on "file" and then "make a copy" and then delete all my info:

I started on The Knot but did not like the fact that I could not customize the checklist so I copied it into the one on WW and have been adding to it since. This way FH and I can both see it.

LOVE THE CHECKLIST KELSEY!!!

@Kelsey.....i was trying to save to fill in my info and can't!!?? HELP.....LOL

WOW Kelsey that's an amazing spreadsheet. Very detailed! Thank you!

I kept adding things into the WW checklist. I looked through my Pinterest at all the things I wanted when I first started planning and just kept adding boxes. Total heart attack, but it does keep me in check!

Some things to remember...

Veil

Hairpiece

Shoes

Undergarments

Thank yous

Stamps- STD, invites, RSVP envelopes, thank yous

Paper plate for ribbons from shower for rehearsal bouquet (if applicable)

Centerpieces

Card box

Guest book

Guest book pen

Signs- bar, menu, any thing else that needs explained (honestly the less signs the better imo)

Jewelry for you and your BM's

Parent gifts (my biggest pain right now)

Champagne flutes

Cake cutting set

Copies of all contracts

Envelopes for tips

Unity candle or other unity items

Ring pillow/container

Flower girl basket

Passports

Wedding night bag

Kids activities

Okay this is all I can think of off the top of my head, and I feel like almost everything could say "if applicable" at the end lol so pick and choose what you need and what helps! Good luck!

Double post because @kelseys is better... Hey sweet name we share.

OP can you put Kelsey's checklist in your original post? Those of us on mobile can't copy and paste comments!

Done and done [ I think]. Hopefully that helps mobile users access it.

That is an amazing spreadsheet, @Kelsey! Thank you for sharing!

Yup thanks @kelsey and @FMB!!
