A wedding planning checklist is a useful tool in your wedding planning and one which you may come to rely on. They can tell you what you will need to do as you begin to plan your wedding, when you should be doing it and give you an idea of ​​how your planning is progressing. In short they give you an itemized list of tasks and a schedule to complete them by.

You can obtain free wedding planning checklists from a variety of sources including wedding websites, bridal magazines and printed wedding directories. You can also design your own at home on your computer to create a checklist tailor made to your planning.

Once you have found a good checklist you may need to edit it to fit with your wedding style. Most checklists will follow a generic template covering an 18 month planning period and a traditional wedding. Scan or copy it on to your computer and edit it as you need to. Even if you do not need to edit it I recommend copying it to your computer so you have a back up copy to print out should you need a spare or loose the original.

Keep a copy of your checklist with your wedding planning notes and give a copy to anyone who is helping you with your wedding plans, such as your maid of honor, groom and your mom. Also keep a copy on your noticeboard or somewhere where it can be quickly referred to you need it.

Follow the tasks on your checklist and tick them off as you complete them. You may find it handy to keep an updated version on your computer where you can add notes such as deposits paid and when final payments are due. Use a notebook to record any notes rather than writing them on the checklist itself as it can soon become crowded and illegible!

Each day sit down and make out a list of tasks that you will need to do that day. Alternately you can do this on a weekly basis, moving to a daily basis as you get nearer to your wedding date. These mini checks will be more detailed and provide a break down of those tasks which are on your main wedding planning checklist. A good tip is to ask anyone you know who has recently gotten married if they still have their checklists as they can be helpful if you get stuck.

Make sure you refer back to your checklist regularly, weekly if not daily. They are there to help you and to make sure you do not leave anything out of your wedding planning and extremely your wedding celebrations. They can help the most disorganized bride become super organized and become totally in control and up to date with her wedding planning.
