Wow. I am impressed. That looks pretty thorough. My wedding is in a week and I am not nearly as organized as you!

This list looks great to me - I haven't even done this yet - I might have to borrow this if you do not mind

Borrow on mama borrow on

I'm TOO much of a perfectionist not to stay organized.I just would not be able to function. I decided that I would bust my booty for the next couple of weeks in hope that just about everything will be done 2 weeks prior to our big day. Maybe it's wishful thinking but I'm gonna give it a try.

I think your list is awesome too!! Love the idea of how you have everything separated!! I was going to start taking large shopping bags and have on for the ceremony and one for the reception -- but your idea to break it down more is much more efficient -- love it!!

Definitely finish your projects now so you have time before your wedding to try and relax

wow that is a GREAT list ~ I did not even think to do that ~ I also had a friend that did this because at the end you might not get everything back ~ She put what ever items she wanted to take back

Please give back to the bride

or something like that (I forgot her original wording)

Great list! Here are more things for you to consider that was very helpful to me.

Sand ceremony- facing the alter I want the (green) sand on the right and the (blue) sand on the left.

Draw pictures. I took a white sheet of paper and pretended that was the entire table. Then I just drew out where I wanted everything located.

Get big bags!!! Over the course of the year I got HUGE paper bags with handles. The size of the big Macy's bag. I wrote on the bag exactly what was in it and what I wanted back.

**Anyone using thier own cake stand**
If you drop it off in the box you must specify that you want the box back. (write it also on the outside of the bag)

**Give some plain, empty bags to the bridal attendant and mark them FOOD

If I didn't look inside the bags before I went on my HM I would have had food sitting in my dinning room stinking it up. I didn't know that they put the pastries in there.
