Wedding to do List You Should Do

Every person should have a wedding to do list to begin their wedding plans whether it is a small wedding or a large one. There are many things that need to be handled, and every wedding to do list should have these things. Planning a wedding checklist doesn't have to be hard and this article can help.

One of the most important things that a wedding to do list should contain are the steps for getting everything done. You should not just have “book a photographer” or “send out wedding invitations” on your wedding checklist. Instead, you should have several things leading up to this, such as a day to go talk to photographers, a day to create a list photos that you want, estimates, and to talk to the photographers before you actually book one. Having steps to getting things done is the very best way to make a wedding checklist, because with wedding planning things really can’t be done all at once. You want to be sure that you are using the right amount of time to get things done that you have to get done, so try not to rush yourself and leave yourself plenty of time to get things done.

Another thing when planning a wedding to do list be sure to include is time to take care of all of the things that need to be done. There should be items that relate to the attire – all of the bride’s clothing, the groom’s clothing, and clothing of everybody else who is in the wedding party.   You should be sure that there is a lot of time to look for tuxes and dresses, and to make sure that you are taking care of all of these things.

Don’t forget that a wedding to do list should also have checkmarks for taking care of planning a reception and the actual wedding. These are both two different events, with their own things that have to take place. Again, you should have a checklist that has the various steps and gives you an ample amount of time to get things done.

There are other things that need to be included on a list. These might be flowers, gift registries, flower girl and ring bearer items, parties before the wedding, planning the honeymoon, food and music for the reception, and all kinds of things.

The best way to create your own wedding checklist is to work backwards. Start with your idea of a perfect wedding, and list all of the things that you see. This would include the bridal gown, tuxes, flowers, music, rings, food and everything else that you want in your wedding. Then, take all of these things that you have listed and begin to work backwards. If you are dealing with the flowers, make a list of all the different flowers you need for the wedding, then make a list of the steps that it will take to get the flowers that you want.

Once you have your backwards lists, the best thing to do is to take a calendar with the amount of time you have left before wedding, and begin to plan out the things on your list. Be sure that you are not overbooking certain weeks or weekends, and be sure to leave holidays without anything to do. Spread out all of your tasks so that you can do your wedding planning little by little and that you are not overwhelmed in the end. Creating not only a wedding to do list, but a calendar of what you need to do each week and each day, reminds you that wedding planning is something you can’t do all at once. You have to do it little by little to make sure that it is the best wedding it could be.  I hope this helps out with planning your wedding to do list.
