One of the first things that came into my mind about planning our wedding was to make a wedding timeline which would be our guide and checklist to make sure that we could track everything that we need to do and do it at the right time. At first I thought about making my own spreadsheet with fancy formulas and graphics but because of my limited skill in Microsoft excel, I scrapped that idea and decided to find something on the web.
When I googled for "wedding timeline", however, I discovered that wedding timelines are just in a simple list form. And so, yeah, come to think of it, I realized that I really didn't need a fancy one. I settled to use this free site from Toptableplanner. You just indicate your wedding date and it gives you a list of your to do's month by month. Since I only have 10 months to prepare, a lot of the tasks are already in the time "As soon as possible", wehehehe. :P
Of course, the list there is just a guide and should not limit you from adding other applicable things and removing unnecessary ones or moving tasks on the time you think they are more appropriate. Their list is quite comprehensive actually, even to some little details that you might not even think about but is actually a very good tip like, "Wear-in your wedding shoes (indoors) so they don't rub on the day" , makes a lot of sense doesn't it?. Then there's even some tasks that I found funny like "Investigate wedding insurance" and "Put together an emergency kit" but hey, why not consider it, perhaps they do make sense when you think about it, right? hehe.
Anyhow, I am happy to note that what Malvin and I have been doing so far are on the right track of prioritization. Yay! ;)
