Sunday, September 6th, 2009

Don’t have time to plan a wedding? I know what you mean. I’ve seriously wondered how I would fit a wedding into my life! But I know a “secret”: lots of little but helpful things can be done in only 5-10 minutes!

Soon after engagement
~ Bookmark Virtuous Weddings
~ Start making an “initial guest list” of people you think you’d like to invite to the wedding.
~ In your browser bookmarks or favorites, make a folder for wedding stuff. You might even make some sub-folders right now to, like attire, flowers, honeymoon, etc.

About six months before
~ Play with your invitation wording
~ Start making a possible ceremony outline
~ File wedding information, coupons, clippings, etc. from your desk, totebag, or wherever, so that you won’t lose them.

About 3 months before
~ Start a list of must-have photos
~ Make a to do list for tomorrow, or a shopping list, or “in town” list.
~ Address invitations

About 4 weeks before
~ Make guest list for rehearsal dinner
~ Make favors (if you can leave everything set up so that all of your time is spent making the favors not getting stuff out and putting it away).

About 2 weeks before
