Repost from BHB- Can someone check my check list?
OK, so I tried to make a master checklist for myself of everything that needs to be done. I looked at the suggestions the girls gave here + some of my own. I'm such a paranoid freak; I feel like I'm going to forget everything.
If someone (or a few someones!) could skim this over and tell me if you think I have everything covered, if I need to do anything earlier, if I need to do anything later, if I forgot ANYTHING, etc. etc. etc.
I would appreciate it SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!
Just a few details: We aren't going on a honeymoon until the summer after since I'll be starting my PhD, so we aren't even planning that until after the wedding.
The wedding is on November 13, 2010. I have everything listed under which date I want to have those tasks accomplished by.
Also, we are having it in Connecticut. I don't know if Connecticut vendors fill up as fast, as Long Island is a rather fast placed land.
TIA
