updated with more headache
anyone want to share what they have done so far. We can keep it here and make changes whenever it needs to be updated so it can be accessed from anywhere.

Hi Girls,
I am not sure if you guys started one of these on this board, Jen started one on the 06 board and I thought it might help us since most of have a good two years ahead of us to plan our big days.
The Plus of having it online is that we can notebook it, edit it and if God forbid our paper lists or computer lists get misplaced you can have it here, plus I noticed seeing other girls get things done, spurs us to move it too! lol
Hope this idea helps!
