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!
Hugs

Re: O7 er's TO Do List
Wow! So much to do. I have a couple of wedding organizers. We have the major parts of the wedding booked. We still need to take care of the honeymoon and many other little things. It's a very good list but it also makes you think and makes you a bit nervous.

Re: O7 er's TO Do List
Thanks a lot, I made a list a few months back, I can't believe how many items I missed. You really helped me out a great deal...
I'm going to my second bridal showcase in January so I need to brush up on my list and get things in order.
