Go to theknot.com they have a list on there, and they even set up by what needs to be done and when. You can update it online or print it off and just check things off. Trust me it has things you would never think of. Also they have all sorts of other things on there that can help you find anything that you are looking for. Good Luck and congrats!

well what about stationary, wedding licence, photographer, cars, cake, bridesmaids, wedding list, honeymoon, suits for the bloke(s), make up and hair for the big day, not to mention the little extras like your tiara/headdress, underwear, shoes, favours for the guests, gifts for the ushers/bridesmaids/mothers of the bride & groom.
That;s all I've got - I've made it worse haven't I ?
And by the way it'll never go all to plan, my hubby broke his foot on the eve of our wedding, my mum forgot the favours and so my brother ended up eating over £100 worth of thorntons chocs!! But I would do it all again ina flash, don't stress and have a happy day.

OMG, Same as me, booked the venue, booked the hall, booked the transport and know the guest list - but where do i go from there!
Im getting married in sept 08 - but i feel i need at least an extra 6 years to plan it!!
Gl and try some online wedding sites like confetti, or wedding services.com, they have online wedding planners!

WeddingChannel.com and Brides.com both have very thorough checklists. They break it down by the time period in which the tasks should be done and let you check things off as you get them done. I'd be lost without mine.
