The Checklist – 305 days to go!

My fabulous online wedding planner has told me that there are 305 days until our wedding! Which is still a lot of time but the numbers are slowly getting smaller, I can imagine the big day being here in no time.

One of the things I have found difficult with my planning is trying to keep track of everything I need to do.  Some of the things I have left on my colour coded checklist are:

• Order our wedding cake
• Finalise the invitation designs – order paper, envelopes and stamps
• Finalise the guest list
• Find wedding night accommodation
• Book a Makeup Artist
• Finalise the bridesmaids and groomsmen clothing and accessories
• Order my engagement party outfit
• Find a wishing well
• Choose a henna design
• Decide whether to use ready made table runners or DIY
• Order my wedding dress
• Finish Karishmafying my ceremony shoes
• Order reception outfit and find jewellery
• Order Craig’s suit, shirt and shoes
• Find organza bags for bomboniere
• Order parasols for photos (for the BM’s and I)

There are a few more things that need to be added to that list, so I am finding the online planner really helpful!

I can tick off the things that I have finalised and can add in my little extras as well – since our wedding is cross-cultural there are some things that aren’t on the site’s list.

I like ticking boxes and crossing off items in a list – so this is perfect for me! Plus I can access it anywhere which means I don’t have to wait until I get home to update my list, of course I don’t do any wedding planning at work, cough cough. You try not looking at wedding stuff when you’re surrounded by it all day!

My plan is to have 90% of my planning done by the end of the year and then just sit back and enjoy the parties leading up to the big day – so far so good!
