i don't really want to buy a book of lists. (FH would totally say its unnecessary & it is) i know i have seen some on here before. i am just super busy at work & don't have the time to look.

Re: wedding lists

under your account stuff on here there is a 'timeline' it gives an outline of when things should be booked but you can alter it as to how you want to do things.

Re: wedding lists

i know what you mean. i feel like theres a bunch of stuff i have to do before the wedding that i need to remember (ex- when i booked the church they told me contact the musician one month before, dj said to contact them a month before for our montage) and i'm so afraid i'm gonna forget!!

If you do a search online you can find quite a few. I think between theknot.com and the check list on LIW, you will pretty much cover it all.

Also, you can use the budget page on the knot and input due dates for deposits and they will notify you so you won't forget when you have to pay different vendors.
