The best thing I ever did while planning this wedding was buying a big note book. A simple, A4 (pink) note book.
It starts with day guest list - 80 of.
Evening guest list - 30 of.
Guests menu choices...why didn't we ever go with the buffet option?! Trying to chase 80 guests for their choices from the menu has been one of the most stressful parts. 'This without sauce, vegetarian for starter but beef for main, don't want a desert (WHAT?!)' etc etc. Now I see why at most weddings you get what you're given!
The To Do list. Oh my. This list has been never ending! At the start it seemed so daughnting, so I split it into segments. Things to buy. Things to order. Outfits. Decorations. You get the jist. It makes me happy to be able to tick these off, or to add the new packages the post man has wrestled through the letter box into the ever growing pile.
My mosh recent list has been the list of suppliers. If you're getting married, make this list! As you book things/people, add them on. Company names, numbers, addresses and emails. Copy it and give it to someone else on the day! Just in case. (If you have it ready, you won't need it...right?!)
I can truly say my heart and soul has gone into this planning. And I can't wait to see it all come together! 49 days Eeek!
