The Wedding Checklist….
March 16, 2010
When planning my wedding I remember the challenges I faced and the questions that were constantly coming! Have you picked out your dress, your flowers, location, or photographer? Did you order napkins? Ohhh, I hated that one because I was planning a simple wedding with a FANTASTIC party! No, I didn’t pick out napkins. None the less, there are so many sites that offer great advice on “Your List” of to do’s prior to your big day. I have no intention of recreating that list but two of my personal favorites are below.
The nice part about these lists is when you get to skip an item!! Yes, I loved putting check marks on my list, it felt so good!
Happy planning and if there is anything I can help with in regards to your wedding plans in the Red Cliff area, please let me know. I am happy to help.
