Let’s dive into the deep waters of wedding planning . . . and don’t worry, going into the deep end doesn’t mean drowning, with the correct floatation device of an efficient and effective planning checklist, it can be a joyful ride!
First off, create a timeline, and tackle each checklist item one at a time. Below I’ll be providing checklists for you to use in the wedding planning process, and it’s best to get an overview of what needs to be done, then set out a timeline. The timeline will depend upon how close the wedding date is approaching. With a year timeline, set out finishing a list of tasks each month, or with a closer wedding date of only a few months, tackle a list of tasks each week.
Most importantly, don’t stress yourself out by bearing the load alone. Delegation should become your favorite word. Involve your family, friends, cousins, or aunts, and make it a team effort!
Okay . . . now lets dive in!
